    Elderly dental patients often require prosthodontic rehabilitation and periodontal therapy. Regular dental recalls significantly correlate with the extent of treatment and the number of remaining teeth in older adults.

    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Dental care for elderly patients involves complex therapeutic measures.
    • Understanding treatment needs and recall compliance is crucial for this demographic.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of therapeutic interventions.
    • To assess recall compliance among elderly patients (65+) in a private dental practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective data collection from 429 elderly patients (average age 75.8).
    • Analysis of dental treatments, prosthodontic rehabilitation, and periodontal therapy uptake.
    • Evaluation of recall appointment attendance.

    Main Results:

    • 55% of patients received complete oral rehabilitation, primarily with removable dentures.

  • Periodontal therapy was received by 54% of patients with remaining teeth.
  • 65% of patients attended regular recall appointments, showing a correlation with treatment extent and remaining teeth.

    • Conclusions:

    • Elderly patients frequently require extensive prosthodontic and periodontal care.
    • Regular recall compliance is linked to the degree of dental rehabilitation and tooth retention.
    • Proactive maintenance and treatment are vital for geriatric oral health.
