The universe of study was 26 old persons who had oral examination and were questioned about the topics of the research study. Caries were the main cause of the loss of teeth. The 75-79 years age group was predominant and the upper denture was the most needed. It was recommended that this type of study be extended to other homes for the elderly and assistance centers of the country in order to meet dental needs of this population section.
