ABSTRACT
The aim of this epidemiological study is to assess the dental health status of the Albanian population and the most frequently performed dental treatments, also highlighting the differences between sex, geographic area and educational level. The study was performed by analyzing digital orthopanoramic radiographs of 739 Albanian patients, male and female, divided into 5 age groups. In addition, the patients were divided according to regions of origin in North, Centre and South and classified according to the level of education. The parameters examined are as follows Missed Teeth (MT), Filled teeth (FT), Endodontically treated teeth (TT), Prosthetic restorations (PR). There are no statistically significant results regarding the distribution by area. Subjects with at least one missing tooth (MT) decreases with increasing education level. The percentage of individuals with Missed Teeth in the population increases with increasing age groups. Educational background affects health. This study highlights the need to introduce a national oral health system in Albania that would extend interventions to a wider segment of the population.
