Abstract

People in their late fifties in the UK today can expect to live another 20 years and most want to maintain a functional and aesthetically acceptable dentition. However, 50% of the teeth of dentate adults aged 45 years and over are filled and crowned. The challenges for the dental profession in addressing these aspirations are discussed.
