OBJECTIVE
This paper presents an approach to the assessment of oral health needs of elderly and barriers to receive oral care in the life course.
BACKGROUND
The dental needs of the elderly are changing and growing day by day. The management of older patients requires not only an understanding of the medical and dental aspects of ageing but also provide them good oral health service. In the life course of elderly there are many hurdles to receive proper oral care. The use of an assessment of oral health need will be essential in the development of care pathways to the elderly.
METHODS
The proportion of older people is growing faster than that of any other age group. There is no sound database regarding the oral disease burden and treatment needs of the elderly in India. Physical and biological barriers with age can also affect oral health care either directly or indirectly.
CONCLUSION
Oral care guidelines designed to assist elderly should consider not only prevention and treatment modalities but also the means of implementing such therapies in varying settings and utilizing the whole dental team.
目的
本文提出一种评估老年人口腔健康需求以及其在人生历程中接受口腔护理障碍的方法。
背景
老年人的牙齿需求日益变化且不断增长。对老年患者的管理不仅需要了解衰老的医学和牙科方面，还需为他们提供良好的口腔健康服务。在老年人的人生历程中，接受适当口腔护理存在诸多障碍。口腔健康需求评估对于制定针对老年人的护理途径至关重要。
方法
老年人比例的增长速度快于其他任何年龄组。印度缺乏关于老年人口腔疾病负担和治疗需求的可靠数据库。随着年龄增长出现的身体和生理障碍也会直接或间接影响口腔保健。
结论
旨在帮助老年人的口腔护理指南不仅应考虑预防和治疗方式，还应考虑在不同环境中实施此类治疗的方法以及利用整个牙科团队。
