Background: Caries in the elderly has been associated with dependence, oral-health status and -care practices. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between root/coronal caries and individual factors among institutionalised elderly people in Bogotá, Colombia, using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System severity and activity criteria (ICDAS).
Methods: A total of 226 institutionalised elderly were clinically examined for root and coronal caries in 40 institutions.
Predicting the outcome of initial non-surgical endodontic procedures by periapical status and quality of root canal filling: a cohort study.

Article Synopsis
- * Out of 349 roots examined, the overall failure rate was 13.18%, with 8.3% showing poor filling quality. It was found that poor quality of the root filling was significantly linked to higher failure rates.
- * Key factors impacting treatment success included homogeneity, taper, and apical extension of the filling, with poor filling quality resulting in increased odds of treatment failure; however, the presence of pre-existing periapical lesions did not significantly affect outcomes.
The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance of root caries restorations after a six-month period using two methods, a conventional technique with rotary instruments and an atraumatic restorative technique (ART), in an institutionalized elderly population in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. Root caries represents a multifactorial, progressive, chronic lesion with softened, irregular and darkened tissue involving the radicular surface; it is highly prevalent in the elderly, especially in those who are physically or cognitively impaired. A quasi-experimental, double-blind, longitudinal study was carried out after cluster randomization of the sample.

Objective: Examining oral health and oral hygiene as predictors of subsequent one-year survival in the institutionalised elderly.
Design: It was hypothesized that oral health would be related to mortality in an institutionalised geriatric population. A 12-month prospective study of 292 elderly residing in nine geriatric institutions in Granada, Spain, was thus carried out to evaluate the association between oral health and mortality.
Objective: Investigating oral health-related quality of life's (OH-QoL) relationship with cognitive state.
Background: Oral health affects OH-QoL and is poor in institutionalised and cognitively impaired people.
Material And Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 215 institutionalised elderly (82.
