“…Fissured tongue is typically associated with aging and is considered the most common lingual defect with a prevalence of 5-11% [2, 5, 10-13]. The principal clinical manifestation of this condition, that is not always associated with an atrophy of the lingual dorsum, is the presence of grooves with varying degree of depth along the dorsal surface of the tongue [10, 14].…”

Atrophic glossitis is a condition characterised by absence of filiform or fungiform papillae on the dorsal surface of the tongue. Consequently, the ordinary texture and appearance of the dorsal tongue, determined by papillary protrusion, turns into a soft and smooth aspect.Throughout the years, many factors, both local and systemic, have been associated with atrophic glossitis as the tongue is currently considered to be a mirror of general health. Moreover, various tongue conditions were wrongly diagnosed as atrophic glossitis. Oral involvement can conceal underlying systemic conditions and, in this perspective, the role of clinicians is fundamental.Early recognition of oral signs and symptoms, through a careful examination of oral anatomical structures, plays a crucial role in providing patients with a better prognosis.

The aim of this study was to describe the oral health, general health status and medication use of elderly dental patients 709 voluntary patients, aged 60 years and over, who attended Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Dentistry for routine dental treatment between March 2008 and April 2009 in Isparta, Turkey, were interviewed for demographic data, systemic diseases, and lists of medications. The majority of the patients (84.4%) had poor oral hygiene according to the Oral Hygiene Index (OHI). The mean level of the study population's decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index score was 19.1 ± 7.3. The prevalence of systemic diseases was high (90%). Women were affected by a significantly higher incidence of systemic diseases than men (96.4% vs. 84.3%; P < 0.001). The percentage of the elderly taking medication regularly was 72.6%. Drug adverse effects were determined in 25.5% of the study population, with more adverse effects observed in women (53.3%) than men (46.7%) (P < 0.001).Dentists must be aware of the dental implications that may arise from systemic diseases and medications and should properly modify elderly patients' treatment accordingly. État de santé générale et bucco-dentaire chez des patients dentaires âgés à Isparta, en Turquie RÉSUMÉ La présente étude avait pour objectif de décrire la santé bucco-dentaire de patients dentaires âgés, leur état de santé général et leur recours aux médicaments ; 709 patients volontaires, âgés de 60 ans et plus, qui avaient consulté à la Faculté de Dentisterie de l'Université de Suleyman Demirel pour des soins dentaires de routine entre mars 2008 et avril 2009 à Isparta, en Turquie, ont été interrogés pour obtenir des données démographiques, ainsi qu'au sujet des maladies systémiques et des listes de médicaments qui les concernaient. La majorité des patients (84,4 %) avaient une mauvaise hygiène bucco-dentaire selon l'indice d'hygiène buccale. Le niveau moyen de l'indice CAO (dent cariée, absente ou obturée) de la population étudiée était de 19,1 ± 7,3. La prévalence des maladies systémiques était élevée (90 %). Les femmes étaient significativement plus affectées par les maladies systémiques que les hommes (96,4 % contre 84,3 % ; p < 0,001). Le pourcentage de personnes âgées prenant des médicaments sur une base régulière était de 72,6 %. Les effets secondaires provoqués par les médicaments ont été déterminés pour 25,5 % de la population étudiée, avec davantage d'effets secondaires observés chez les femmes (53,3 %) que chez les hommes (46,7 %) (p <0,001). Les dentistes doivent avoir connaissance des implications dentaires pouvant être causées par des maladies systémiques et des traitements médicamenteux, et devraient modifier les soins apportés aux personnes âgées en conséquence. ‫برتكيا‬
