Abstract
Geriatric dentistry addresses the unique oral health needs of older adults, focusing on age-related changes and common condi
tions. Key areas include managing xerostomia, periodontal disease, root caries, and the oral manifestations of systemic diseases.
Prosthodontic rehabilitation, pharmacotherapy considerations, fall prevention, and oral cancer screening are also crucial. Strategies
must account for cognitive decline and polypharmacy to enhance seniors’ quality of life.
