  1. aNumber of permanent teeth missing.
  2. btotal surfaces with coronal decay.
  3. cDMFT score (decayed, missing, and filled teeth) based on teeth excluding third molars.
  4. dCompare the number of genera in subjects with and without complete loss of teeth.
  5. eBleeding of probe extent score, percent of probed sites with bleeding.
