COVER STORY

The old-old dental patient: the challenge of clinical decision-making



DB Berkey, RG Berg, RL Ettinger, A Mersel, and J Mann
Department of Applied Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, USA.

As the U.S. geriatric population grows older, dentists should recognize the need to carefully consider age-related concerns that influence clinical decision-making. The authors discuss several prevalent problems typically found in "old-old" patients and propose a model for determining the appropriate extent of dental care for them.
