A Comprehensive Approach to Geriatric Patient Care Based on Geriatric Assessment

Abstract

Background Care for geriatric patients must consider several factors. It is critical to conduct a thorough examination of elderly patients to develop an ideal treatment plan for patients using a series of geriatric assessments. Case report The first patient was a 63-year-old male complaining of an open wound on several loose upper left teeth. It is suspected that he had undiagnosed diabetes mellitus. The second patient was a 70-year-old female having difficulty eating due to a loose upper left tooth with generalized enlarged gingiva. The patient had hypertension and was taking the medication without any supervision. Geriatric Assessment was performed, which included the GOHAI (Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index) examination, the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and Mini-Cognitive. The two patients consulted with the internist before receiving further treatment. Conclusion A comprehensive examination with Geriatric Assessment can help dentists determine the best treatment plan for geriatric patients
