“…Thus, geriatric syndromes cause elderly population biological and social dysfunction, and it is essential to intervene on time. 16 Frailty in elderly corresponds to a clinical state where vulnerability to possible stressors occurs, influenced by each person's physiological reserve to deal with this stressor. 17 Thus; there can be robust or fragile elderly.…”

Due to the fact that people live longer, population ageing has occurred, thus manifesting chronic diseases that have a multidimensional implication. The different diseases that a person may present can cause frailty and involve the oral health of the elderly. Oral health is related to general health as there is a link that is being analysed today. Thus, the concepts of functionality, geriatric syndromes, general frailty and oral frailty in the elderly must be internalized to carry out timely health care and improve the quality of life of the elderly. Therefore, there is a challenge that dentistry must face, mainly in the Latin American and Caribbean region.
