Mature patients face increased cavity risks due to aging. High-fluoride treatments and specialized materials can effectively prevent and manage Class V cavities in this population.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Dentistry
  • Cariology
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Increased life expectancy leads to a growing population of mature patients.
  • Mature patients often present with receding gingival tissues and debilitation, increasing susceptibility to root caries.
  • Class V carious lesions are a common concern in this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose strategies for reducing caries progression in mature patients.
  • To highlight the importance of high-level fluoride therapies and specific restorative materials.
  • To emphasize comprehensive caries management for older adults.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing high-level fluoride toothpastes.
  • Applying remineralizing pastes and high-level fluoride gels via topical trays.

  • Employing high-fluoride-releasing restorative materials for Class V lesions.

    • Main Results:

    • These methods aim to reduce the progression of caries in mature patients.
    • Fluoride therapy and appropriate restorative materials are indicated for Class V lesions.
    • A combination of preventive and restorative approaches is necessary.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective caries management in mature patients requires a multi-faceted approach.
    • Planning, patient education, and close supervision are crucial for successful outcomes.
    • High-fluoride interventions offer a promising solution for managing caries in older adults.
