title: [Tertiary prevention in elderly people; a prospective view].
abstract: The expected decrease in the prevalence of edentulousness in elderly people does not guarantee a good oral health. Since the elderly will retain more natural teeth in the future, whether or not suppleted with prosthetic provisions, their oral self-care becomes more demanding. However, in elderly people oral self-care becomes also more difficult. Attention has to be given to the tertiary prevention, also (or in particular) in elderly people.
