Abstrakt: Elderly patients' age affects various bio-psycho-social parameters of their diseases. A patient's old age itself often evokes a multiform recoil in dentists, directly opposite to the required therapeutic attitude. The essential principle in gerodontics is dentist-patient cooperation, attainable only if the latter is approached in a holistic and respectful manner.
