Abstract
Was an improvement of dental health by optimizing dental medical examination in socially significant groups of the population. A continuous sample of 500 patients aged 65 to 95 years who applied to selected private dental organizations and public dental organizations in the period 2017-2020 was made. The clinical study was carried out by taking an anamnesis and a dental examination. The results of a retrospective analysis of the prevalence and intensity of the main dental diseases in elderly and senile people are presented, a scheme for dental medical examination of the study group is proposed. In a comprehensive dental examination of groups of elderly and senile people, the DMFT in the age group of 65-74 years is 18.8 [14.35-24.4], in the group of 75-84 years 20.5 [13.7-27.3], while in people from the group over 85 years 24.9 [19.05-28] teeth, in order to reduce high dental morbidity we have developed an original scheme for the procedure for conducting preventive medical examinations of older age groups of the adult population. The results of the study indicate the insufficiency of preventive programs and therapeutic measures among the elderly and senile. The data obtained are aimed at substantiating the main directions for improving dental care for patients of the older age group in the current conditions of the healthcare system.
