title: [The importance of providing dental care for the aged].
abstract: Following examination numbers are presented as provided during 3 years in aged: 253 subjects from the homes for elderly, 151 patients from the medical institution for longterm states and 80 aged subjects living in their homes. The mentioned screening was aimed to ascertain the stomatological findings, the need in dentistry examination, its availability in both geriatric and outgeriatric elderly. Partial problems have been worked out as 8 separate studies. In aging people from geriatric institutions, the following conditions were evaluated: the state of jaw denture, its functional capacity, mortality of separate groups of teeth, oral mucosa state, level of oral hygiene and its impact on the finding of yeast in carriers of prostheses, salivatory changes and disturbances of the temporal joint. The main stomatological findings and the use of dental examination have been compared between the group allocated at homes for elderly and that living in domestic conditions. The prerequisites of dental care were ascertained using inventories at geriatric institutions of East Bohemian region.
