Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the Prosthodontic status and needs with respect to age, gender, educational level and socio-economic status in urban areas of Trans- Varuna region. An on-site survey was conducted in Varanasi urban region between June 2016 to December 2016. Data was acquired by means of interview and clinical examination and was statistically analysed using chi-square test. A total of 5,631 participants were enrolled for the study. Prosthodontic treatment needs were maximum in females and in the age group of 46-60 years. Intermediate and low socio-economic group (Non-working, Unskilled worker and Semi-skilled worker) were having high prosthodontic needs. This study clearly reveals that age, gender, educational and socio-economic level plays a significant role in behaviour towards prosthodontic interventions.
