Abstract

Systemic disease consists of disease that afflicts the human body in its entirety. Many diseases can affect individuals as they age. It is known that there are systemic conditions that can affect oral health. Certain changes in oral structures may be due to age or may be correlated with disease. The objective of this article was to show how to proceed to prepare dental prostheses in elderly individuals with systemic pathologies. Systemic pathologies and the drugs that are being administered to the elderly influence the mouth. The option for a certain prosthetic planning may be influenced by systemic pathologies; of administered medications and motor impairments. It was concluded that the quality of life of the elderly can be improved when an adequate prosthetic planning is developed that takes into account the characteristics presented by the systemic picture
of the elderly.
