[Results of a survey of an elderly institutionalized population. 3. A group of elderly with remaining teeth and denture wearers].
It has been carried out an inquest in a geriatric group in institutionalised regime, classifying people interviewed depending on dental health in three groups: Group I: Edentate ancients bearers of total prosthesis. Group II: Ancients with remanent pieces. Group III: Ancients with remanent pieces and bearers of prosthesis. In the present work, all findings related to oral health are detailed, referred uniquely to group III: Ancients with remanent pieces and bearers of prosthesis. Obtained data let us get to some conclusions we consider must be of general diffusion for trying to understand and to solve the existing disputable in this segment of the population, so long forgotten and marginal.
