- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the oral health condition and dental treatment need of low socioeconomic elderly people. A total of 116 elderly people who visited Boramae Hospital were evaluated with oral examination and panoramic radiogaph. The results showed that the most expecting treatment of low income aged people was removable partial denture. It was very clear in the age group of 70-84. In the age group under 70, most of the patients wanted prosthodontic tratement using fixed partial denture or crown. As the result of this study, elderly people with low socioeconomic status under age 85 needed removable partial denture or fixed prosthesis than complete denture. It is necessary to develop a more expanding and customized Senile prosthetic restoration program.
