Abstract

This survey was carried out on 1, 582 prosthesis teeth in 1, 175 cases of leprosy patients who had undergone prosthesis at the dental clinic of the Nagashima Aisei-en for the decade (1957-1966). The number of patients and their prosthesis teeth were compared according to the patients' sex, age and type of disease. The proportion of prosthesis teeth to the respective teeth was also examined on each class of patients'age. It was found that the proportion of prosthesis of the upper central and lateral incisors of leprosy patients was very high as compared with that of normal persons.
