Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that not only affects cognitive function but also has profound implications for overall healthcare, including oral health. The challenges in providing dental treatment to Alzheimer’s patients are multifaceted, demanding a specialized approach to overcome cognitive impairment, communication difficulties, behavioural issues, and ethical concerns. This paper explores these challenges in detail and discusses strategies and interventions for the dental care community to ensure that oral health is maintained and improved in this vulnerable population.
