Geriatric Dental Health
The cost of chronic illnesses including cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease has a significant economic impact. In senior populations, the relationship between dental health and general health is particularly strong, which lowers their quality of life. To address the shortage of qualified faculty in geriatric dentistry, cost-effective contemporary educational methodologies and instructional technologies, such as problem-based learning, would be helpful. For elderly patients who might gain physically and mentally from more effective dental care, multidisciplinary health care methods and expanded health care team cooperation are crucial.
