Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Abstract An epidemiological survey of dental health status and needs was conducted in a group of 234 randomly selected institutionalized elderly people in Naples, Italy. The mean age of the patients was 81.4 yr, 71.4% were women and 28.6% men. A total of 140 (59.8%) people were totally edentulous; an additional 13.7% were edentulous in one jaw. A significant increase in prevalence of edentulousness with increasing age was recorded. 44.3% of the edentulous in both jaws wore complete dentures. The mean number of remaining sound teeth, decayed teeth and root remnants in the elderly with maxillary and mandibular natural teeth decreased with increasing age. Of the 94 dentate elderly, 29.8% had no need of dental treatment. Of all dentate patients 68.1% needed one or more dental extractions with a mean need of 3.9 per patient; 37.2% needed restorative treatment for one or more teeth with a mean need per patient of 2.9. Analysis of the results showed poor dental health in this target group and the necessity of improving the dental health services programs for the elderly living in institutions.
