Abstract
Geriatric dentistry addresses the oral health needs of older adults, focusing on age-related changes, systemic diseases, and
polypharmacy. Common challenges include dental caries, periodontal disease, xerostomia, and oral mucosal lesions. Prosthodontic
rehabilitation and dental implants are vital for restoring function and quality of life. A holistic approach integrating oral and systemic
health management is essential. Effective strategies for managing caries, periodontal disease, and xerostomia, alongside adaptations
for cognitive impairment and medication side effects, are crucial for optimizing oral health outcomes in the elderly population.
