. To promote oral health among the elderly, we need to know their prosthetic status and prosthetic need. Hence, a survey of prosthetic status and need of elderly inmates of old age homes in Mangalore was done.  Materials and Methods . A cross-sectional study was undertaken, and 133 subjects aged 60 years and above were examined (54.9% males and 45.1% females).  Results . Eighty-eight percent of those examined were fully edentulous, and only 12% had complete dentures; none of the study subjects had partial dentures. Prosthetic status was significantly associated with gender ( P  = .024), while prosthetic need and gender were not significantly associated ( P  = .395).  Conclusions . A high unmet need for prosthetic care existed among the institutionalized elderly surveyed.
