OBJECTIVE: To determine the caries experience of the elderly people in South East Local Government Area (S.E.L.G.A) in Ibadan.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A randomly selected sample of 690 elderly people from 23 wards in S.E.L.G.A were examined by two trained and calibrated examiners according to WHO criteria.
RESULTS: Majority of them (85.5%) had no caries experience. Their mean DMFT was 0.46. More teeth in the mandible (160) than the maxilla were affected by caries or treated for caries. Their MNI was 25.5% and RI was 21%.
CONCLUSION: The elderly in S.E.L.G.A have low caries experience and very high-unmet dental health needs.
