“…Outro ponto dificultador que afeta diretamente a utilização de prótese dentárias é a ausência de programas sociais para esse grupo debilitado em SB. Estes poderiam servir de apoio para promover a conscientização quanto a SB e tornar comum o uso de próteses dentárias (Choufani et al, 2020). O déficit de ações educativas e preventivas nas ILPI propicia um quadro de autopercepção defasada, na qual a maioria dos idosos considera-se com uma SB saudável, mascarada por péssimas condições funcionais e estéticas (Oliveira et al, 2020;Adas Saliba et al, 2018).…”

“…As lesões apresentaram-se em cores diferentes (vermelho, branco, amarelo, azul, preto e rosa), sendo a lesão mucosa vermelha, que pode compreender uma atrofia epitelial, inflamação ou erosão, a mais comum (16%). As cores das lesões estão relacionadas com o espectro de prognóstico e com a situação reacionária (infecciosa, autoimune, benigna ou maligna) (Choufani et al, 2020).…”

Objetivo: revisar a literatura quanto à identificação da condição de saúde bucal dos idosos residentes em instituições de longa permanência. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada por meio de uma estratégia de busca nas seguintes bases: LILACS, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect e Web of Science. A busca foi consolidada através da utilização dos descritores “Oral Health”, “Aged” e “Health of Institutionalized Elderly” com o operador Booleano “AND”. Foram selecionados estudos primários publicados a partir do ano de 2016, em inglês ou português, que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão adotados e abordaram as condições de saúde bucal dos idosos institucionalizados. Resultados: Foram encontrados 17 estudos, sendo: 8 artigos na LILACS, 1 artigo na MEDLINE, 1 artigo na ScienceDirect e 7 artigos na Web of Science. As principais condições de saúde bucal dos idosos institucionalizados foram categorizadas em: Edentulismo; Cárie dentária; Uso e necessidade de prótese dentária; Lesões da mucosa oral; e outras condições. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o edentulismo, a elevada atividade de cárie e a necessidade de próteses dentárias foram as principais condições de saúde bucal encontradas nos idosos institucionalizados, estando, geralmente, estas condições associadas a lesões da mucosa oral e higiene insatisfatória.

Oral mucosal lesions can be uncomfortable and can result in a poorer oral health related quality of life. This can be seen especially in edentulous patients who are mostly elderly and have comorbid diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus, which can impair their ability to withstand oral infections. In South Africa, one of the most unequal countries in the world, almost 50% of the population is edentulous and this prevalence increases as age increases. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence of denture-related stomatitis in subjects who presented to a tertiary institution in Cape Town, South Africa for new complete dentures and to determine the risk indicators associated with it. Three hundred and ninety-six folders of participants who received complete dentures during the period 2014–2019 were included in this study. Categorical data was displayed as frequencies and percentages and a multiple adjusted logistic regression was used to determine associations between Candida and certain risk indicators. The prevalence of denture-related stomatitis was 25.76% (n = 102). Almost 75% (n = 225) females and 72.63% (n = 69) males had no denture-related stomatitis. The most common site for candidiasis in this population was the palate and tonsillar area (40.2%, n = 41) and the least common site was the upper ridge (2.94%, n = 3). Candidiasis, in edentulous patients are highly prevalent in this population and more needs to be done to prevent it.

The aim of this study to determine the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in the elderly living in nursing homes in western Iran (Kermanshah). Background: This study was conducted in the elderly living in nursing homes in Kermanshah, western Iran. Materials and methods: This descriptive study was performed on 598 elderly people who lived in nursing home. Medical history, medication and demographic information were collected from the participants' medical records. This was performed through interview and examination to the instruction explained WHO. Results: A total of 598 elderly, 253 men and 345 women, were examined. Of all the elderly, 101 (16.9%) were smokers and 248 (41.5%) had dentures. The overall prevalence of lesions in the elderly was 52.5%. The most prevalent lesions in the population were xerostomia (37.6%), sublingual varicosity (25.8%), candidiasis (5%), and red and white lesions (4.7%). The most common systemic conditions in the population were hypertension (20.1%), depression (14.2%), and diabetes (6.2%). The elderly with hypertension were 1.743 times more likely to have oral lesions (Odds Ratio = 1.7; confidence interval = 1.15-2.63). Conclusion:Considering the observed oral manifestations and also the nature of aging and its consequent systemic conditions and the side effects of medications and other treatments, the elderly require carefully planned oral and dental health monitoring and care services with special consideration of their conditions.
