It focuses on addressing the unique oral health challenges and dental conditions which affect people as they grow older. Some important aspects of geriatric dentistry are oral health assessment, denture care and treatment of dental diseases. Oral health assessment involves the examination of the teeth, gums, oral tissues, and evaluation of the overall oral hygiene. Dentures refer to prosthetic devices which are used to replace missing teeth. They are used by a large number of older adults and their care encompasses fitting, adjustments, repairs, and maintenance to ensure optimal fit and function. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of geriatric dentistry which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. For all those who are interested in this field, it can prove to be an essential guide." -- Provided by publisher.
