title: [Comparison of stomatological findings in geriatric population of both the homes for the aged and one-man households].
abstract: In 187 residents of houses for the aged and 80 old persons living in one-man households in Hradec Králové, the authors proceeded by comparing the functional state of dentition, rate of pathological changes on the oral mucosa, level oral hygiene and regularity of stomatological care. Both groups showed no significant difference in numbers of male or female subjects, in age distribution nor in the educational level. Stomatological findings were more favorable in those living in their homes. This was probably caused by significantly higher numbers of self-sufficient persons than in the group of population living in the homes for aged.
