title: Complete-denture therapy for the geriatric patient.
abstract: Denture therapy for the geriatric patient will be in high demand for the decades ahead. An older adult's medical, functional, and psychological status should be considered in each phase of complete-denture treatment. Patient satisfaction is dependent on how well the dentist has restored facial appearance and rehabilitated chewing efficiency.
