Abstract
According to WHO the health of the mouth, teeth and associated structures and their functional viability should be improved in the old people; oral conditions can have serious, disabling effects. Dental status is associated with high overall mortality. A more in depth attention to oral status and pathologies should be reccomended in older people; in particular infections, xerostomia, swallowing disorders should be avoided or prevented with appropriated and some time omitted intervention. The problems are more important in nursing homes.
