title: [The rate of consultation for dental care by middle-aged and elderly subjects].
abstract: The rate of consultations of elderly and senile patients applying for dental care is analyzed. A total of 510 patients aged 60 years and more who applied to a municipal dentistry center in the southeast region of Moscow were examined. The number of visits to dentist did not depend on age and sex. A notable difference was detected between the rate of consultations for subjects with intact natural teeth and patients who lost natural teeth.
