[Prosthetic status, conditions of the oral mucosa and temporomandibular joint, as well as treatment needs in the elderly population of a Hungarian city (Györ) II].
In a Hungarian city a special oral health survey concerning prosthetic status, oral mucosa and temporo-mandibular joint condition of the elderly population has been performed by standardized methods. The most frequent prosthetic finding was the removable prosthetic appliance (denture). It is suggested, that the number of dentures should be decreased with higher priority for the preservation of natural dentition and it should be achieved to change the dentures at proper intervals among denture-wearing patients. The prevalence of temporo-mandibular joint function-disturbances was low. In order to diagnose earlier the praecancerous lesions and conditions a regular oral health survey at least once a year among the people above 55 years of age should be organized.
