Abstract

Introduction
The increase of percentage in the population aged over 65 contributed to growing incidence and prevalence of periodontitis associated (or not) with metabolic diseases

Methods
In this paper we analysed 150 patients aged 60÷99 by medical and instrumental examinations.

Results
We analysed all data patients into three age groups: “A” patients aged 60÷69 years; “B” patients aged 70÷79 years and “C” patients aged 80÷99 years.

Conclusion
Our people sample showed teeth pathologies and they suffered for many other pathologies connected with cardiovascular system. In our paper, we showed these specific aspects more in “B” subjects than in "A" and "C" elder patients.
