A total of 1019 subjects aged 18-60 years were examined. Oral examination was done using intraoral camera, mouth mirror and torch. Results: Prevalence of missing teeth in the population of Hyderabad is 23.06%. Conclusion: Tooth loss is mainly due to dental caries and periodontal diseases. Missing tooth causes the shift of adjacent teeth, bone resorption and in elderly people it affects their mastication which leads to their poor nutritional status. Measures should be established to increase awareness and negative impact of tooth loss.
