Popis: As the "graying of America" is accelerating, so is the incidence and severity of periodontal diseases. The clinical management of periodontal disease in an aging population is becoming an increasingly important issue for dental professionals. This article reviews age-associated risk actors that can contribute to loss of periodontal attachment. The influence of age-related systemic conditions and medications upon clinical management is also discussed.
