The textbook Basics of geriatric dentistry is primarily aimed at dental students, specialists in various areas of dentistry, as well as all dentists who intend to expand knowledge in this area. The need for this kind of literature has gone through the years, especially since this textbook is one of the pioneering publications of the given issue. Recognizing the need for such an educational tool, especially since we as authors are involved in daily teaching, we decided to develop this textbook in order to meet the needs of contemporary and complete literature.
