To find out the condition of the oral health of the old people in Jing'an district, Shanghai and explore new measures for their oral health taken by the community.
The method employed by us involves visiting 800 old people aged from 60 to 74 to inspect their oral health, using indexes and standards with reference to the standards used at the 2nd national oral epidemiological survey.
Of the 800 old people investigated, 80.15% suffered from dental caries, 66.24% from gingivitis, 32.38% from periodontitis, 88.13% from impaired teeth, 16.25% from missing teeth and 54.63% from wedge-shaped damages of teeth.
The old people have a rather poor oral-health condition and lack a self oral health awareness. The investigation suggests that in our communal health service, propaganda and education for oral hygiene should be carried out to the old people in a planned and targeted manner, along with preventive and restoration treatments.
