When senescence gets installed in the organism, it induces involution of the stomatognate system, the modifications produced at this level influencing directly the life style of the old person and his/her social relations, so that the old one will resort to a therapy assuring, at least partially, the lost structures and functions. Prosthetic rehabilitation in old people should aim at preserving the existing dental structures, by providing an optimum dental-periodontal support for subsequent prosthetic works, adapted to the clinical situation and to the socio-economical requirements, as well.
