Abstract

In this narrative review paper, we summarise what is known about the oral health of older people, with a specific focus on the most common oral conditions in that age group. After that, the implications for older people׳s oral care are considered, along with ways of developing and maintaining a gerodontologically capable and responsive workforce and oral care delivery system.
