ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Demographic forecasts for the Polish population indicate that in 2030 in Poland, that the elderly will constitute approximately 24% of the population. Functional dentition and providing physiological and social benefis are part of the physical and mental well-being of an elderly patient with missing dentition and general diseases.
Objective:
The aim of the study is to discusses the most common ailments encountered in geriatric patients treated by dentists. Etiology, characteristics and treatment options for the described ailments are taken into account. In dental treated patients age over 60, the most common problems encountered are: stomatopathies, xerostomia and burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Stomatopathies werethe most common in diabetic patients, and in patients using removable or fixed prosthetic restorations.
Material and Methods:
Analysis of the assumed aims of the paper was carried out based on the available literature. Particular attention was paid to the most common complaints in elderly patients.
Conclusions:
All the above-listed oral cavity health conditions affect the well-being, i.e. physical and mental health of a patient. Local pathological states, such as prosthetic stomatopathies, pass mainly by eliminating the cause of contact inflammation. Other ailments: periodontitis, BMS or xerostomia, are closely related to the general condition of the patient. Changes in the oral cavity depend on the intensity and stabilization of the general disease. His is the reason that a very important role is played by the attending physicians: diabetologists, neurologists or psychiatrists. The cooperation of a dentist with a general practitioner can significantly improve the health of geriatric patients.
