노인 인구의 급격한 증가는 향후 치과 치료를 받는 환자의 상당수가 필연적으로 노인이 될 것임을 예견하고 있다. 이는 우리가 매일 시행하는 진료 술식에서 병력조사와 진단과정에 더 많은 시간과 노력을 들여야하고 약물 투여량과 치료기간을 변경하여야 하며, 어떤 약물은 피하거나 줄여야 하고 예방적 항생제 투여를 고려해야 하며, 감염과 출혈의 가능성에 더욱 주의하여야 함을 말해 주는 것이다.
The geriatric population is the most rapidly growing part of the general population, which leads to an increase of chronic conditions and illnesses that will influence both oral and systemic health. The most common chronic diseases in elderly population are arthritis, hypertension, heart diseases, diabetes, and cognitive impairment. Chronic impairments such as visual, hearing,orthopedic, and speech disorders are also prevalent among older adults. All these chronic conditions have potential oral complications and the treatments of systemic diseases also has implications for the maintenance of oral health. Therefore, oral health care professionals should catch up with increasing knowledge in this field and can modify the treatment strategy for older adults. In addition, oral health care professionals should understand the changing need of oral health problems in this age and prepare the future demand.
