ABSTRACT
Old age, if not a divine treasure, is a precious gift that is currently enjoyed by more than 600 million people over 60 years old. The objective of this research was to determine the oral health status in an older population belonging to the 21-21 doctor's office from Santa Clara municipality. A cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study was carried out in the 21-21 doctor's office belonging to "XX Aniversario" University Polyclinic from Santa Clara municipality, between January 2017 and September 2018. The study population was predominantly female and aged 70-74 years. Hypertension was the most common systemic disease found and masticatory difficulty was the main oral problem. The level of knowledge of the population was classified as fair. The elderly had a wide variety of systemic and oral diseases, which corresponds to age-related deterioration.REFERENCES
