Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce this Special Issue, entitled “Oral Health and Rehabilitation in the Elderly Population”. Increases in life expectancy commonly bring about multimorbidity and polypharmacy in the elderly population that live at their homes, nursing homes, or hospitals. The impacts on them of oral health has been suggested, and clinical management must be required.
This Special Issue aims to report the current data of oral health and oral rehabilitations in the elderly population depending on their present conditions.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- An epidemiologic study on oral health in the elderly population.
- A comparative study to analyze the effect of oral rehabilitation on the elderly population.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Yoichiro Ogino
Guest Editor
