  • Title: Root Caries in Older Adults.
    Author: Gregory D, Hyde S.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2015 Aug; 43(8):439-45. PubMed ID: 26357814.
    Abstract:
    Older adults are retaining an increasing number of natural teeth, and nearly half of all individuals aged 75 and older have experienced root caries. Root caries is a major cause of tooth loss in older adults, and tooth loss is the most significant negative impact on oral health-related quality of life for the elderly. The need for improved preventive efforts and treatment strategies for this population is acute.
