Abstract
AbstractThe validity of self‐reported number of teeth was assessed in a random sample of 50 individuals aged 70+ by comparing self‐reports in a telephone interview with results of a subsequent in‐home examination by a dentist. There were no significant differences between self‐report and examination data, nor was there any systematic under‐ or over‐counting of teeth as the actual number of teeth increased. These data support the validity of self‐reported dentition.
