Abstract

Purpose of the study — to determine of dental status in elderly patients undergoing treatment at a private dental clinic.
Methods.
250 people over the age of 65, who received treatment at 2019, took part in this research. This research was carried out through dental examination and history taking. The results of a retrospective analysis of the prevalence and intensity of major dental diseases in the elderly and senile age are presented.
Results.
The most common dental diseases in older people were extracted teeth due to the development of complications of dental caries and periodontal diseases. During a comprehensive dental check-up of groups of elderly and senile people, the intensity of the CFE (Caries Filling Extraction) was 19.77±0.47, OHI-S — 2.71±0.09, CPITN — 1.79±0.05, which indicates a poor oral cavity hygiene of patients, as well as a necessity of periodontal treatment.
Conclusion.
The results of the study indicate the lack of preventive programs and treatment measures among the elderly and senile age people. The data obtained are aimed at substantiating the main directions of improving dental care for patients of the older age group in present-day conditions of the healthcare system.

Key words:

elderly and senile persons, dental status, hygiene index, caries, periodontal disease
