Free webinar by Dr. Chris Wyatt. Moderated by Dr. David Chvartszaid. 
Brought to you by the Association of Prosthodontists of Canada.

Webinar description: Older adults are increasingly retaining teeth into old age as a direct result of receiving sophisticated dental care over their lifetime. However, for many older adults, poor oral hygiene predisposes them to gingivitis, periodontitis, denture stomatitis, and especially dental caries. Poor oral health and tooth loss often results in discomfort, poor aesthetics, compromised mastication, and these combined decrease quality of life. The options for replacement of teeth is no different from those who are younger. However, frailty poses a significant limitation on a patient’s ability to undergo a complex dental treatment and comply with maintenance recommendations. This presentation will explore rational prosthodontic treatment planning for older adults.
