- Abstract
Many studies have reported on the dental status of elderly patients. The results demonstrate consistent differences between normative and perceived needs in addition to varying levels of awareness of dental education among carers. This review article attempts to integrate a range of social factors which must be considered if holistic and comprehensive care is to be delivered to elderly patients.
