The aim of this study is to validate 3 psychometric scales in regional language Bengali and Hindi to be used for analysis in West Bengal population.Complete Edentulism,the condition of being without teeth,is a significant health issue affecting a large portion of the global population, particularly among older adults.While the physical effects of edentulism,such as difficulty chewing and speaking,are widely recognized, the psychological impacts are often underestimated.This context explores the prevalence of anxiety and depression in edentulous patients, highlighting the underlying factors,effects on quality of life,and potential interventions.A better understanding of these mental health challenges in edentulous individuals is crucial for improving overall patient care and treatment outcomes.1The loss of natural teeth can lead to difficulties with speech,eating,and social interaction,which can subsequently affect an individual's quality of life.However,the mental health implications,including anxiety and depression,often remain under recognized by healthcare providers.
