The associations between lowered oral health status and frailty in elderly have been previously reported in many studies. Despite the increasing number of elderly populations in Korean society, there have been no at tempt to develop clinical practice guideline and diagnostic criteria for oral frailty. Hence, this study reviewed the previous cohort studies and systematic reviews about oral frailty and proposed 15 recommendations as an oral frailty guideline for Korean elderly on the basis of the evidence-based methodology. This clinical practice guideline will provide overall guidance on the identification, diagnosis, and management of oral frailty in pri mary dental care setting and finally help to achieve healthy aging in elderly
