Thematic Dossier “Aging and Dentistry”
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.details##
This editorial introduces the thematic dossier on “Aging and Dentistry” that is included in volume 41 of 2022 on Universitas Odontologica. Aging is a growing trend in human societies around the world for which institutions and services of all sorts need to be prepared to meet the needs of elderly populations. Research on aging ranges from laboratory experimental studies that look at understanding and modifying aging from cell to organism levels, to how care for individuals and communities should adapt and create the conditions to assist these populations. Three articles comprise the dossier that cover topics related to oral pathologies, use of prosthetic appliances, function, and professional experience when working with aging populations. Still, many questions on the topic were not addressed by the studies received. Therefore, we encourage researchers to continue sending their research to better serve the current and potential readers of Universitas Odontologica.
