In recent times, population in our country has reached higher age average than in other times, in consequence, there is a rise in subjects aged 65 years and over. This new longevity has in turn brought about an increase in the number of patients afflicted by sickness or any other type of disabilities, as consequence of the natural deterioration caused by age. Dental problems caused by advanced age, obesity, HIV/Aids, resistance to antibiotics, tobacco addiction and alcoholism, are, among others, more frequent than in times gone by.
