Results: Prevalence of Tooth loss and edentulous in both genders was 68. 1% and 1. 8% respectively. In general Tooth loss among women were lower than men (P<0. 05). According to adjusted ordinal regression model, smoking (OR=3. 12-CI: 1. 03-9. 44), age (OR=1. 10-CI: 1. 07-1. 12), use of toothbrush (OR=0. 42-CI: 0. 23-0. 76), tooth floss (OR=0. 64-CI: 0. 46-0. 90), gender (OR for female gender =0. 61-CI: 0. 43-0. 86) and socio-economic status (OR=0. 77-CI: 0. 65-0. 91) significantly were associated with Tooth loss. Conclusion: Health workers had a relatively high prevalence of Tooth loss, despite being employed in a health sector (medical university), and expected to have relatively better knowledge of Oral health and better access to the Oral health services.
