“…Some of the questions for this survey were originally designed and developed in an effort to evaluate other programs with regard to curricula, techniques, and teaching materials used. Some of the questions dealing with curricular structure were similar to a previous survey on fixed prosthodontic curricula 4 . The questions were pilot‐tested on‐site and approved by faculty members before the survey was mailed to other schools.…”

“…The introduction of preventive dentistry in the middle of the 20th century brought the realization that natural teeth can be retained for life. The past 2 decades has seen a steady decline in the prevalence of tooth loss and edentulism in the United States, 3 along with a rapidly growing number of people who are retaining their natural teeth 4,5 …”

“…Clinical dentistry’s adherence to the focal infection paradigm and the resulting ‘mass dental extermination’ (38) has earned this period the label of the ‘blood and vulcanite era’ (39), the results of which may still be seen in some populations. In addition to inflating the rates of edentulism in populations with access to dental services, the focal infection paradigm has served to distort dentistry’s perception of why teeth are lost (23).…”

The structure and contents of most oral health care systems and the contents of dental curricula reflect a deep-rooted tradition for attempting to cure oral diseases by refined technological means. However, better oral health conditions for the world's populations necessitate the application of up-to-date scientific knowledge to control the major oral diseases. This review points out that not only should the structure and contents of oral health care delivery systems be based on state-of-the-art knowledge about the biology of the oral diseases; they must also take into account the trends for change in caries and periodontal diseases within and between populations, and acknowledge the impact of changes in treatment philosophies for these trends. The oral disease profiles for populations in low- and high-income countries are briefly described, and it is concluded that the rapidly changing disease profiles observed in high-income countries necessitate re-thinking of the future role and organization of dentistry in such countries. The priorities for low- and middle-income countries must be to avoid repeating the mistakes made in the high-income countries. Instead, these societies might take advantage of setting priorities based on a population-based common risk factor approach. If such an approach is adopted, the training of personnel with oral health care competence must be rethought. The authors suggest three different cadres of dental care providers to be considered for an approach that allows health care planners in different populations around the world to prioritize appropriate oral health care with due respect for the socio-economic conditions prevailing.

“…This increased spending mirrors the rising numbers of dentate elderly. Patients now entering the elderly demographic are the same patients that were exposed to preventive dentistry during their youth, which has contributed to their retention of teeth and desire to retain teeth . Despite the trend towards retaining teeth, one report followed up American patients over the age of 65 over five years and found that approximately 40% lost at least one tooth during this time period …”

Patients are living longer and the rate of edentulism is decreasing. Endodontic treatment is an essential part of maintaining the health and well-being of the elderly. Retention of natural teeth improves the quality of life and the overall health and longevity of ageing patients. Also, teeth that might be otherwise extracted may be strategically valuable to retain a prosthesis, and elderly patients are more likely to have medical complications that may prevent dental extractions from being safely performed. The technical goals of endodontic treatment in the elderly are the same as those for younger patients. However, the pulpo-dentinal complex undergoes calcific changes over time, which may pose challenges for the clinician. The purposes of this review are to discuss age changes in the pulp and the challenges posed by diagnosing, treatment planning and treating the elderly endodontic patient.Keywords: Elderly patient, endodontics, root canal treatment.Abbreviations and acronyms: BRONJ = bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw; EALs = electronic apex locators; ICDs = implantable cardioverter defibrillators; RACFs = residential aged care facilities.
