  • Title: Oral assessment in the elderly.
    Author: McNaughton CA.
    Journal: J Fla Med Assoc; 1993 Mar; 80(3):199-202. PubMed ID: 8487028.
    Abstract:
    This review of common oral problems and oral assessment of the older adult is by no means exhaustive. There are a number of other oral manifestations of disease states that the physician can only assess by thorough examination of all structures and tissues in the mouth. By applying the simple principles of oral assessment and appropriate treatment and referral for common oral conditions, physicians can deliver optimum health-care services to the older adult patient.
