“…20.3% of the total population exhibited 21 teeth and over. Restorative needs of at least 1 filling were exhibited by 27.9% 27 .52.5% of the participants in another study in Ankara, Turkey, were edentulous, and tooth loss was more frequent in females compared to males 28 . A possible reason for this observation is that women are more prone to develop osteoporosis, which may have an effect in tooth loss.…”

Oral health plays a pivotal role in general health, especially in older people. Oral diseases may affect the development of systemic conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, stroke and hypertension. The most important oral health conditions that have been recorded in dental literature for older population include tooth loss, dental caries, periodontal diseases, xerostomia (dry mouth) and oral cancer. Edentulism influences social life, either causing aesthetic problems or affecting functional abilities, such as speaking, chewing and eating. Dental caries in older people is similar to that in people in their thirties. Socio-economic status and living area play a key role in the development of dental caries. In addition, the accumulation of several risk factors, such as plaque or systemic diseases, acts synergistically in the onset of periodontal disease in seniors. Furthermore, older people, mainly due to their medications, exhibit a reduced amount of saliva. Xerostomia causes difficulties in chewing, speaking and swallowing, and it has a substantial impact on older people's lives. The prevalence of oral cancer is 1-10 per 100,000 patients, and several factors (smoking, alcohol, education, economic status) play crucial role. Limited data exists today that evaluates oral health conditions of seniors in the Balkan countries. Aging and socio-economic status of seniors in the Balkans are significantly associated with oral health problems.

Over the age of 65 populations is constantly increasing in the past 50 years. The elderly population is exploding. This is based on the fact that the living conditions of this population is improving, as well as individual and community health, and advances in sanitation. Elderly have the highest medication use in the world compared to other segments of the population. The goal of the medication use is to treat diseases and to make them feel better, which increases their quality of life. Over use of some medications has become a public health problem. Multiple drug use (Polypharmacy), causes an increase in the risk of side effects and interaction between drugs, treatment costs, hospitalization requirements, rates of incompatibility to medical treatment and resulting problems. The purpose of the scientific evidence of the literature can represent information and reviews based on polypharmacy during dental treatment to emphasize the importance of the recognition of the risks. As a result, periodontal disease, dental caries and xerostomia may be linked to complications associated with multiple drug use in the elderly.Keywords: Polypharmacy; Oral health; Dental caries; Oral diseases; Elderly population population accelerated. With the existing populationincrease projection it is estimated the world willbe home to 8.909 billion people in 2050. Due to the extension of life expectancy and decrease in birth rate, the world is aging more rapidly than the previous 50 years [2].Elderly population is constantly increasing in the past 50 years on a global scale. According to WHO, the number of people over the age of 65 will increase by 85% in the next 25 years, and working population will increase by 45 percent. As of 2015 901 million people are at the age of 60 or above, which makes 12% of the world population Figure 1. Over the age of 65 populations is increased by 3.26% on an annual basis. Over the age of 65 population is expected to reach 1.4 billion in 2030 and 2.1 billion in 2050 [3]. The most important reasons for this increase are the decrease in infant and child deaths, achievements in vaccination and health conditions and sustainability thereof as well as development of antibiotics. However, the fundamental factor is the decrease in mortality, not only in infants and children but in all age groups. Another reason is that people are exceeding the age of 65 which is life expectancy. For this reason, it is expected that welfare of elderly people will be found in the list of problems with priority in the areas with increase in the following years [4].With aging, deceleration and degeneration can be witnessed in system functions as a result of the changes in human body. Because of age or associated conditions, level of absorption, blood flow and emission of basal and stimulated stomach acid decreases in gastrointestinal system. Absorption can also be affected in the elderly as a result of using multiple medicines simultaneously. For example, congestive heart failure, which is one of the most frequently seen dise...

Teeth loss is a traumatic experience. It disturbs the total integrity of the masticatory system. Its successful rehabilitation should address a range of biomechanical problems, tolerances, and perceptions. Implant-supported overdenture with two implants placed in the interforamina region is a predictable treatment option in edentulous mandible rather than conventional complete denture as it offers increased stability, comfort, and patient compliance. Success in complete dentures is still an unanswered question as various authors have differing opinion. Patients and prosthodontists often disagree on a successful denture experience. Criteria for quality standards in denture fabrication have been articulated; however patients and prosthodontists often disagree on a successful denture experience. This study was carried out to determine patient satisfaction with implant-supported overdentures and its impact on the treatment outcome. Thirty edentulous patients were randomly divided into two groups to receive implant-supported overdentures supported with two implants in the interforamina region of mandibular arch retained with either ball or ball attachment. Questionnaires were given to the patient before and after treatment at 3-and 6-month interval. Data collected were statistically analyzed. Results obtained from this study show that patients with implant-supported overdentures were more satisfied with the treatment outcome, and there was no significant difference in patient satisfaction between the two groups.
