Abstract

When we speak of aging we say that it is a dynamic process, a change that occurs in a gradual way that belongs to the subject. The objective of this case study is to publicize the risks that the use of deteriorated dental prostheses entails for our elderly people, given the threat of being swallowed and once in the esophagus the consequences can be devastating. This research is of qualitative-quantitative type, therefore it becomes a quantitative prospective form, that is to say, that many factors intervene to prevent and minimize the risk that the misuse of dental prostheses produces in the elderly. If we teach our elders to maintain excellent oral health, we will be providing quality of life to the elderly. We can conclude that preventing the complications of esophageal perforations depends on an early diagnosis and timely treatment.
