Beschreibung
Over the last few years there has been a considerable rise in the number of elderly patients opting for Dental Treatment. Geriatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry that emphasizes dental care for the elderly population and focuses upon patients with chronic physiological, physical and/or psychological changes or morbid conditions/ diseases. Management of the geriatric patient requires special considerations for age-related physiological changes, complications of chronic conditions, increased incidence of physical or mental disabilities, support systems and financial limitations. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is advised consisting of all dental specialities, experts in geriatrics, psychiatry and social services with their rehabilitation team. In-depth theoretical knowledge, clinical skills, and behavioral management are the keys to successful management of care seekers, especially the elderly patients.
