title: [Rehabilitation of chewing function and after care in geriatrics].
abstract: The fewer the remaining teeth, the more difficult is prosthetic rehabilitation in the old patient. In the case of patients with disordered motoricity or mental disturbances, as well as those who refuse implants, or in whom implants are not possible for health reasons, the stepwise adaption of existing prostheses should be given preference over the provision of completely new dentures.
