title: [Dental status in relation to age: research in Switzerland 1980-1990].
abstract: The number of missing teeth in relation to the patients' age was assessed in fourteen studies of the oral status of different patient groups performed in Switzerland and published between 1980 and 1990. The prognosis of the future development of the average dentition made by Marthaler in 1978 proved to hold true.
