description Aim: This study aimed to examine the patterns of partial edentulism and the associated risk factors in Jordan. Methods: A cross-sectional, epidemiological study was carried out across Jordan, and data was collected from adult partially dentate patients in various healthcare facilities. The data collected included sociodemographic data, dental and social history, and clinical examination findings for the jaw and teeth. Multivariate regression models were used to determine the predictors for the number of missing teeth. Results: The sample consisted of 467 partially dentate participants. The leading cause of tooth loss was dental caries (85.4 %), followed by periodontal disease (13.7 %), and trauma (7.5 %). The mean number of missing teeth was significantly higher in the upper jaw (2.5 ± 3.1) compared to the lower jaw (2.2 ± 2.6, p = 0.02). In both jaws, the most prevalent Kennedy classification was Class 3, followed by Class 3/Modification 1 and Class 2/Modification 1. Increased age, smoking, lack of daily tooth brushing, and low education level were significantly associated with high tooth loss. Conclusions: This study contributes to the understanding of partial edentulism in Jordan, reflecting broader oral health concerns and the factors influencing tooth loss. The findings, vital for future research and interventions, offer insights applicable to global oral health challenges, particularly for at-risk groups.
