Abstract
Periodontal care for geriatric and pediatric patients poses distinct challenges due to age-specific factors. In elderly patients, systemic conditions, medications and reduced dexterity complicate treatment. Pediatric patients face unique issues related to developing dentition and behaviour management. This review reports these challenges and offers strategies for effective, tailored periodontal care. Emphasizing patient-centered approaches improves outcomes for both populations.
