In prosthetic treatment with dentures of home-visit dental care, we often experience difficulties in impression taking and maxillomandibular registration due to physical and mental problems and difficulty in communication among older adults requiring nursing care. Therefore, we focus on whether or not the open mouth state and the occlusal state can be maintained as criteria for intervention in denture treatment. In addition, it is thought that the success or failure of treatment can be greatly affected by communication with key persons and cooperation with other multi-professional occupations, as the treatment can be carried out smoothly by determining the timing of treatment and having a caregiver present.
In this paper, I will introduce cases of prosthetic treatment with dentures that I have experienced in home-visit dental care, and describe the setting of goals for prosthetic treatment for older adults requiring nursing care.
