    Abstract
    A balanced diet is the basis for a high quality of life and physical well-being. Dental status or prosthetic status and chewing function are closely related.

If this process remains uncontrolled for a long time, the risk of malnutrition is described. Related disorders may be aggravated or triggered. As a result, the elderly become more dependent on care, increased morbidity and mortality, and ...

    A balanced diet is the basis for a high quality of life and physical well-being. Dental status or prosthetic status and chewing function are closely related. This relationship is particularly clear in older and older people. Due to advanced tooth loss, inadequate dentures or dysfunction in the stomatognathic system, the chewing function is reduced, which often results in a change in diet. If this process remains uncontrolled for a long time, the risk of malnutrition is described. Related disorders may be aggravated or triggered. As a result, the elderly become more dependent on care, increased morbidity and mortality, and increased use of health services. This circulus vitiosus can only be broken through an interdisciplinary collaboration between dentist and doctor. The dentist plays an important role here. His prosthetic and restorative therapy creates the precondition for a good chewing function and promises to improve the nutritional status.
