The older person and his or her dentition will have a clinical presentation and a reaction to treatment that is influenced by his or her unique blend of aging and disease processes. Changes seen in enamel, dentin, pulp, and cementum of the older patient are described in terms of their causes and the impacts of the changes on clinical presentation and treatment choices.
