Introduction:
In Italy, the number of elder is growing and people over 70 may be a problem in public health on present and next years. [ISTAT 2019].
Methods:
In this paper we analysed 150 patients aged 60÷99 by medical and instrumental examinations. Results. We analysed all data patients into three age groups: "A" patients aged 60÷69 years; "B" patients aged 70÷79 years, and "C" patients aged 80÷99 years.
Conclusion:
This is the first study carried out on old and very old dentistry patients. Our people sample showed lost teeth, and bone retractions more than 6 millimetres associated with unilateral and/or bilateral carotidal plaques. They also suffered for many other pathologies connected with cardiovascular system. In our paper, we showed these specific aspects more in "B" subjects than in "A" and "C" elder patients.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
