Gerodontology, or geriatric dentistry, addresses the complex oral health needs of the aging population. Age-related changes, systemic health issues, polypharmacy, and cognitive impairments present unique challenges in dental care for older adults. Gerodontology focuses on preventive strategies, prosthetic rehabilitation, management of dry mouth, and minimizing the risk of oral malignancies.

The Journal of Dentistry: Oral Health & Cosmesis seeks submissions that illuminate the clinical, ethical, and policy aspects of geriatric oral health care. Studies exploring innovative care models, long-term prosthodontic solutions, and the interplay between oral and systemic health in elderly populations are highly encouraged. Research aimed at improving quality of life, maintaining oral function, and developing sustainable geriatric care protocols is of prime interest.
