Oral Health Assessment by Lay Personnel for Older Adults
Published on: February 2, 2020
Abstract:
As a result of major advances in the management of disease, life span has been greatly extended and with it there has been a significant increase in the geriatric population requiring oral surgery. Of major concern to the practitioner is the proper treatment of such patients. Modifications in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care are required for the management of these individuals and have to be related to the physiologic, psychologic and pathologic changes occurring in the elderly. When appropriate precautions are taken age should not be a barrier to successful oral surgery.
