STL, severe tooth loss; TTL, total tooth loss.

a

Only 3 studies reported estimates for STL. As they also reported estimates for TTL, the latter set of estimates was extracted for the quantitative synthesis.

b

Finland: 2; France: 2; UK: 2; Ireland: 1; Italy: 1; Netherlands: 1; Norway: 2; Sweden: 9.
