The geriatric patient: removable partial denture design, protecting the dentition. 1989

C L Biber, and W R Cinotti, and M Balbo

The population of the United States is aging rapidly. By the year 2000, approximately 36 million Americans will be 65 years of age or older. With respect to dentistry, the oral health status of older adults is improving. In addition to retaining more of their teeth, the demand for dental care is increasing amongst the geriatric population. Because total edentulousness is expected to decline in the future, a greater demand for removable and fixed partial dentures is anticipated. This paper serves as an outline for quick reference when treatment planning the replacement of teeth in the partially edentulous arch.
