OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to assess whether elderly people with 20 or more natural teeth were more likely to live longer than a cohort with less than 20 teeth.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Groups of elderly people over 80 years of age (24 males and 35 females) with 20 or more teeth (>or=20 group) were compared with elderly people (24 males and 35 females) with less than 20 teeth (or=20 group (average +/- SE tooth number of teeth - males, 23.9 +/- 0.6; females, 23.8 +/- 0.4) was compared with the or=20 group or or=20 group had a significantly higher cumulative survival rates (p < 0.05) than the or=20 group and
