Clinical epidemiological concerns and the geriatric prosthodontic patient
Keywords:
prosthodontic treatment, geriatric prosthodontics, clinical epidemiologicalAbstract
Investigations into the oral health of the elderly leave little doubt that disease and dysfunction galore, though there is some disagreement about how clinical findings translate into treatment needs. The disabled and the institutionalised appear to be the most vulnerable, whereas dentists appear to be uninterested in providing services outside the scope of traditional dental practice. As a result, the oral health concerns of the elderly, particularly those relating to prosthodontic treatment, remain largely unaddressed.
