Clinical Trial Summary

This study will help describe the state of oral health of very old people (over 90).

Description:

In 2011, according to the French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Research, people aged 85 and over accounted for about 3% of the total population. This proportion will increase sharply due to longer life expectancy on the baby boom generation and is expected to reach 7.5% of the total population in 2050.

This very old population has specific health, related to the presence of co-morbidities and co-medications, but also to a frequent state of dependence.

These general health problems and their treatment can create or accentuate oral problems or complicate their management. Thus, very old people are more likely to have some oral diseases although there is no epidemiological data in France. Conversely, oral problems can have repercussions in terms of quality of life, social relations and nutrition, and are factors of risk or aggravating actual or potential systemic disorders.

This very elderly population is therefore likely to present new challenges of dental care that it is important to document.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	State of the mouth and teeth	Number of decayed, absent and closed teeth	Inclusion visit
Primary	Masticatory ability	Number of functional units	Inclusion visit
Primary	Root caries index	Root caries index (RCI) - RCI is based on the requirement that gingival recession must occur before root caries surface lesion begin, therefore only teeth with gum recession are examined.; 4 surfaces of root are examined (mesial, distal, lingual, and buccal or labial); A judgment of no gum recession is made if CEJ (cement enamel junction) cannot be visualized.; The root caries index is calculated for an individual using the formula; • RCI= (R-D) +(R-F) x 100 (R-D) +(R-F) +(R-N) R-N =Recession present surface normal or sound R-D =Recession present with decay root surface R-F= Recession present with a filled root surface.	Inclusion visit
Primary	Hygiene index	Hygiene index (OHI-S, Simplified Oral Hygiene Index ; from 0 to 3)	Inclusion visit
Primary	Oral pain	Presence of oral pain yes/no	Inclusion visit
Primary	Oral lesions	Presence and nature of oral lesions according to the International Classification of Diseases applied to odontology and stomatology of the World Health Organization	Inclusion visit
