 The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the number of remaining teeth and/or denture usage and body balance with physically impaired people.

 The participants were 52 people (age 53〜92, mean±SD 72 ±9.9) who were hospitalized or regularly treated at a rehabilitation center. We evaluated the number of remaining teeth, denture usage and body balance using the Functional Reach Test (FRT), and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM).

 Logistic regression analyses found that the number of remaining teeth in groups 1〜3 (0〜22, in each quartile groups) and group 4 (23〜29) while sitting % FR was significant (O.R. 1.03 95% CI, 1.00-1.06, p = 0.039). Also, the number of remaining teeth in groups 1 & 2 (0〜14, in each quartile groups) and groups 3 & 4 (15〜29) while sitting % FR was significant (O.R. 1.03 95% CI, 1.01-1.06, p=0.009). The Spearman's rank correlation (p), (alpha = 0.05) analyses found that FIM correlated with standing % FR (ρ = 0.87, p = 0.003).

 The results indicate a relationship between the number of remaining teeth and functional reach and, therefore, a connection to posture control. Also, recognizing the connection between FR value and FIM, the results support a relationship between functional reach and ADL. Moreover, in addition to the relationship between the number of remaining teeth and FR value, we speculate that persons with many teeth have a satisfactory reach range and ADL.
