title: [Gerontological and geriatric problems in stomatology. 1: Effects of age related physical changes on prosthetic therapy].
abstract: Morphological changes in the mouth due to age, e.g. changes in the oral mucosa, the blood supply of the lower jaw, and the nervous system, make variations of prosthetical therapy necessary. By means of a classification of old-age patients, the significance of such variations for the prosthetical treatment of partially edentulous jaws is demonstrated.
