[Pathology of the oral mucosa in the elderly patient]. 1989

M Quaranta, and S Caputi

The authors, though aware of not having completely exhausted the subject of the oral cavity in the elderly, believe that in this paper they have made a further contribution to knowledge and clinical classification of some diseases affecting the oral mucosa of elderly dentistry patients. They then point out that the stomatologist cannot longer ignore this pathology, which is increasingly encountered as a result of the higher number of elderly patients requiring dental therapy.
