With the increase in the elderly population and the greater number of teeth being retained into old age elderly people are more prone for many oral diseases. Oral diseases are complex, multifactorial and progressive in nature. Consequently, the associations between dental disease and specific medical conditions are becoming more established.

The objective of this book is to review and discuss the need and associated barriers in treating the elderly dental patients and to focus on research encompassing all aspects of aging, age-related dental problems and their appropriate management.
