Alzheimer's disease, a devastating, irreversible and progressive degenerative disease of unknown cause or cure, is the fourth leading cause of adult death. With a predicted increase in the proportion of the population age 65 or older anticipated, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease should rise. As a result, more Alzheimer's patients will be seen in the dental office. A case report illustrating the skills and techniques necessary to treat a patient with Alzheimer's disease is presented.
