RESUMEN
Debido a la importancia de establecer medidas preventivas de higiene bucal que beneficien a los pacientes de la tercera edad, nos propusimos como objetivo en nuestro trabajo determinar la influencia de la higiene bucal controlada en pacientes geriátricos portadores de sobredentaduras. Nuestro universo estuvo constituido por 20 pacientes de ambos sexos mayores de 60 años, portadores de prótesis parcial removible desde hace 1 año, que acudieron a nuestro servicio para recibir tratamientos rehabilitadores debidamente avalados por historias clínicas que constan en el archivo de la Facultad de Estomatología de ISCM de La Habana. Dichos pacientes estaban en plenas facultades mentales y físicas en correspondencia con su edad

Due to the importance of taking oral hygiene preventive measures to benefit the elderly, we proposed ourselves as an objective to determine the influence of controlled oral hygiene in geriatric patients wearing overdentures. Our universe was composed of 20 patients aged 60 of both sexes, who had been wearing removable partial denture for a year and received rehabilitating treatment in our service, endorsed by their medical histories, which are in the archive of the Dental Faculty of the Higher Institute of Medical Sciences of Havana City. These patients were in full mental and physical capacity according to their age(AU)
