Abstract

Porast broja starijih osoba u cijelom svijetu nosi sa sobom potrebu za većim razumijevanjem promjena funkcije stomatognatog sustava u toku starenja. Sklad i harmonija svih dijelova stomatognatog sustava je uvjet da njegova funkcija bude optimalna. Stomatognati sustav podložan je fiziološkim promjenama starenja. Gubitak zubi najčešće je vezan za pacijente starijih dobnih skupina. Takvi protetski pacijenti sve su češće fiksnoprotetski pacijenti. Djelomičnim gubitkom zubi nastaju promjene koje imaju za posljedicu funkcijsku insuficijenciju. Potpunim gubitkom zubi smanjuju se važne funkcije kao što su žvakanje, izgled i govor. Zadaci protetske terapije su da pacijentu vrate žvačnu, estetsku, fonetsku i okluzijsku funkciju. Totalna proteza mora biti prihvaćena kao dio sustava a ne kao strano tijelo. Fiziološki proces starenjem određuje promjene u bezubih pacijenata koje oni često kompenziraju na različite načine. Cilj protetske terapije je vratiti pacijentu fizionomiju kakvu je imao prije gubitka zuba. Stanje oralnog zdravlja usko je vezano za održavanje kvalitetnog psihičkog zdravlja starijih osoba. Liječenje starijeg protetskog pacijenta vezano je za niz tehničkih problema. Osjećaj prirodnog zdravlja, sigurnost i estetika, ciljevi su terapije stomatognatog sustava. Totalna proteza najčešće je sredstvo terapije kod pacijenata starije životne dobi. Proteze se dijele u totalne i parcijalne.

Abstract (english)

As the number of old people increases all over the world so does the need for more appropriate comprehension of the functions of the stomatognatic system during the course of aging. The harmony of all the parts of the stomatognatic system is the condition for its optimal functioning. The stomatognatic system is subject to physiological changes of aging. The loss of teeth is most often linked to patients of older age groups. Such prosthodontic patients become always more and more often fixed prosthodontic patients. With partial loss of teeth there occur changes that result in functional insufficiency. By total loss of teeth there are reduced also the important functions of mastication, speech and the aesthetic appearance. The task of the prosthodontic therapy is to restore patients the mastication, speech, phonetic and occlusion functions as well as the aesthetic appearance. The total denture has to be accepted as part of the system and not as a foreign body. The physiological process of aging determines some changes in toothless patients, which they often compensate in various ways. The aim of the prosthodontic therapy is to restore the patient’s physiognomy to the state the patient had had before the loss of teeth occurred. The state of oral health is closely connected with the quality of elderly persons’ psychical health maintenance. The treatment of an elderly prosthodontic patient involves a series of technical problems. The feeling of natural health, self-confidence and the aesthetic quality are the targets of the stomatognatic system. The total denture is the commonest therapeutic means in treatment of elderly persons. There are total and partial dentures.
