Geriatric Endodontics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Geriatric endodontics focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of dental pulp and periapical conditions in elderly patients. With increased life expectancy and improved oral healthcare, more seniors are retaining their natural teeth, leading to a higher demand for endodontic treatments in this age group. Aging presents unique challenges, including systemic health issues, reduced healing capacity, and anatomical changes such as pulp chamber calcification, dentin sclerosis, and reduced vascularity, all of which complicate diagnosis and treatment.Older adults may also have limited manual dexterity, cognitive impairments, or be on multiple medications that impact treatment planning and outcomes. A thorough medical history and careful assessment of the patient's physical and psychological condition are crucial. Clinicians must adopt a patient-centered approach, often modifying techniques and using advanced imaging tools like CBCT to overcome challenges.Endodontic proceduresin geriatric patients aim to preserve natural teeth, enhance function, and improve quality of life.
