Oral health of the Latin American elders: What we know and what we should do —Position paper of the Latin American Oral Geriatric Group of the International Association for Dental Research
ConclusionThere is a need for the development of national surveys and standardised tools for the assessment of oral health in older adults. Also, intense advocacy to modify and influence public health policies in the different countries of the LAC is strongly recommended. (Source: Gerodontology)

Osteoporotic alterations in a group of different ethnicity Brazilian postmenopausal women: An observational study
ConclusionBone density is higher in Brazilian Afro‐descendant women than in Caucasians and Asians. Patient's age is associated with bone density and the MCI. The mandibular cortical index is inversely correlated with the peripheral densitometry results within the study ethnic population. (Source: Gerodontology)

Deformation behaviour of aged coronal dentin
ConclusionA decrease in the deformation ability of aged dentin was found. This behaviour could be a result of a dissolution process and reprecipitation of the minerals present in intertubular dentin into the dentinal tubules. (Source: Gerodontology)

Hyposalivation and 10 ‐year all‐cause mortality in an elderly Japanese population
ConclusionHyposalivation could be a marker for all‐cause mortality among older community‐dwelling Japanese men. Future studies investigating the association between SSFR and cause‐specific mortality are warranted. (Source: Gerodontology)

In situ evaluation of surface roughness and micromorphology of temporary soft denture liner materials at different time intervals
ConclusionThe surface roughness of acrylic resin‐based and silicone‐based denture soft liner materials decreased after 7 days of evaluation, leading to a smoother surface over time. The silicone‐based material showed lower roughness values and a smoother surface than the acrylic resin‐based material, thereby making it preferred when selecting more appropriate material, due its tendency to promote less biofilm build‐up.
