Dental status and dental needs of a geriatric population were evaluated among 304 elderly people living in old age homes and in their own homes in Jerusalem, Israel. A total of 181 people (59.5%) were edentulous in both jaws and an additional 3% were edentulous in one jaw. Almost all dentures (95%) were considered to be unsatisfactory. In all, 1809 h were found to be necessary for treating cavities and prosthetic needs of this population and an additional 214 h for periodontal treatment which did not include surgery. In conclusion the dental status of this population was poor and dental needs were high. Since dental treatment is so expensive it is believed that this population would receive almost no treatment but for the future emphasis should be put into primary and secondary prevention from very young ages so that needs of this population as they get older would dramatically decrease as compared to the need of this study population.
在以色列耶路撒冷，对居住在养老院和自己家中的304名老年人的牙齿状况和牙科需求进行了评估。共有181人（59.5%）上下颌均无牙，另有3%的人单颌无牙。几乎所有假牙（95%）都被认为不满意。总之，发现治疗该人群的龋齿和修复需求需要1809小时，另外进行不包括手术的牙周治疗需要214小时。结论是，该人群的牙齿状况较差，牙科需求较高。由于牙科治疗费用高昂，据信该人群几乎得不到任何治疗，但未来应从非常年轻的时候就重视一级和二级预防，以便与本研究人群的需求相比，该人群随着年龄增长的需求将大幅减少。
