ABSTRACT

The ever more frequent presence of root decay lesions in elderly patients will lead to important changes in the therapeutic management of such patients in dental practice.
Changes in adults’ health have a great influence on the development of problems in the oral cavity. One of these is root caries lesions.
Adults with a greater number of teeth and the presence of gingival recession, along with the development of systemic health problems, will generate a greater number of surfaces potentially at risk of developing this type of root caries lesions.
Dentists should be prepared to face this new therapeutic challenge, primarily in terms of prevention.
