Impact de l’âge
phrase 1
During aging, all the tissues and organs of the oral cavity undergo profound transformations that degrade their functions, their potential for adaptation and healing

Impact de l’âge
phrase 2
In addition, the influence of general age-related pathologies is often a factor in the aggravation of oral pathologies, either directly or indirectly by preventing the maintenance of good oral hygiene or by modifying the salivary flow by medication.
Vieillissement des dents et du parodonte
phrase 1
Senescence of teeth and periodontitis leads to an increase in the prevalence of carious lesions and periodontal diseases.
Vieillissement des dents et du parodonte
phrase 2
Bacterial plaque builds up on root surfaces and prosthetic joints, creating conditions conducive to the development of dental and periodontal lesions.
Vieillissement des dents et du parodonte
phrase 3
These phenomena are favored by :
* age,
* the number of oral bacteria,
* loss of gingival attachment,
* poor plaque control (decreased dexterity, motor skills, cognitive abilities and cooperation of some patients, inadequate training of caregivers),
* the preponderance of a sweet diet (often a source of comfort for the elderly patient),
* taking saliva medications,
* salivary flow,
* difficulties in accessing oral care.
What in their situation increases the periodontal risk ?
part 1
disabilities compromize the realization of the oral hygiene care that promote the accumulation of bacterial plaque, etiological agent of periodontal disease
What in their situation increases the periodontal risk ?
part2
periodontal disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) would be found in 55 to 85% of the elderly
How it manifest
1
mainly represented by a loss of elasticity, a smoother appearance, a slight recession and an increased fragility to the aggressions notably microbial and mechanical
Specifities of the ederly
- Altered immune responses (difficulties in clinacally controlling the inflammatary process)
- Decreased tissue remodeling capabilities (delayed healing)
- pH drop of the oral cavity (promote proliferation of pathogenic microorganism)
Periodontal senescence
part 3
This disease leads to the progressive destruction of the gingivo-dental attachment system and bone resorption, which causes dental pain and mobility and can lead to the loss of dental organs.
conclusion
In addition to worsening comorbidities : age related changes implicates difficulties in chewing, swallowing and phoning
that will leads to a change in their diet, isolation and a decline in their quality of life
conclusion
part 2
to decline the csq : oral care is essentiel
We will have to work in multidisciplinary team with a collaboration between the staff and the family It will be a great help for the ederly
