Oral health has improved considerably in recent decades in Sweden, as well as in other countries. However, despite great improvements with regard to periodontal disease and dental caries in recent decades, global problems still persist, and as a consequence of retaining natural teeth high up in age, the risk for oral disease increases.
Traditionally, the number of teeth has been a measure of good oral health, and the World Health Organization (WHO) stipulated goals of a minimum of 20 functional teeth at the age of 80 years have been reached in some industrialized countries. Oral Health means more than good teeth and is integral to general health. The relationship between oral and general health has been recognized. For example, periodontal disease is associated with diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. The severity of periodontal disease and number of teeth have been associated with an increased burden of cardiovascular disease.
There is a lack of longitudinal studies of oral Health and risk factors for oral disease.

| Periodontal disease | The severity of alveolar bone loss are based on bone levels at interproximal sites as seen on radiographs in the premolar and molar regions in both jaws. The diagnostic categories are (1)'no bone loss', defined as normal alveolar bone height in the molar and premolar regions (i.e., a distance ≤2 mm between the cemento-enamel junction and the alveolar bone crest (2) moderate bone loss, defined as alveolar bone loss >2 mm but not exceeding one-third of the length of the roots, or if angular bony defects/furcation defects degree II and III are present on two to three teeth in the molar-premolar region; and (3)'severe bone loss', defined as alveolar bone loss exceeding one-third of the length of the roots, or if angular bony defects/furcation defects degree II and III are present on more than three teeth in the molar and premolar regions. | 10 years (2008-2018) |
