Generally as the age advances teeth are lost, along with the diminished olfactory and gustatory receptors .Various factors like physical, social, functional and pharmacological factors are responsible for the malnutrition in the geriatric patients. The nutritional status should be assessed and nutritional strategies should be made to boost immunity and improve nourishment in denture wearers.
