A Review on Research of Caries Prevention in the Elderly

Abstract

Abstract: The population of the world is aging. With the development of the economy and the continuous improvement of medical standards, a greater proportion of older people are retaining increasing numbers of natural teeth. This dental longevity is accompanied by an increased frequency of exposed root surfaces as a result of periodontal diseases, mechanical injury, surgical treatment, or a combination of these factors, which, combined with some situations common to ageing, such as reduced salivary flow due to diseases or drugs and the inability to perform adequate oral hygiene, leading to biofilm accumulation on tooth surfaces, enhance the risk of root caries occurrence .Root Caries is a common and frequently-occurring disease in the elderly. The occurrence of root caries has an obvious impact on the elderly health and is one of the most reasons of tooth loss in the elderly. The prevention and treatment to root caries is an important part of the oral heal care in the elderly, and substantial research related to it has been conducted. But restorative management of root caries is a challenge in view of the proximity to the gingival margin, difficulties of visibility, moisture control, proximity of the pulp, and the high organic content of the dentine. So, for the root caries in the elderly, the most important thing is prevention. This study aims to provide a review on the prevention of root caries in the elderly.
