Global Burden of Oral Diseases in Adolescents and Young Adults Aged 10-24 Years.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aims to analyse global trends in the burden of oral diseases, including dental caries and noncarious oral diseases (NCODs), in individuals aged 10 to 24 from 1990 to 2021 and project future trends up to 2050.

Methods

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2021, this trend analysis examines the number, age-standardised rates (ASRs), and average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) in prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life years for oral diseases across different age groups, sexes, social-development index (SDI) levels, regions, and nations. Joinpoint regression was applied to identify key inflection points, while Bayesian modelling was used to project future trends.

Results

Globally, the ASR of oral disease prevalence s
