Abstract
Objective: To carry out an integrative review on the effects of oral diseases on cognitive impairment in elderly people, gathering scientific information on cognition in Geriatric Dentistry. Methods: Scientific articles available in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) were searched. The terms used were “dementia”, “oral dysfunction”, “elderly” and “periodontal disease”, with the search strategy dementia AND oral dysfunction AND elderly AND periodontal disease. The filters used were “full text” and “last 10 years”. Results: In the analyzed studies, a two-way relation could be observed between oral diseases and cognitive impairment, both linked by chronic inflammation. It is important to explore more the relationship between oral health and cognition so that prevention or early detection of risk factors for cognitive impairment can occur, leading to a comprehensive approach to the elderly individual. As future perspective, epidemiological studies carried out in the Brazilian population could help to better clarify the relationship studied here. Conclusion: This integrative review evaluated the influence of oral dysfunction, tooth loss and periodontitis on cognitive impairment in the elderly. Studies suggest that such oral conditions have a negative impact on cognition in the elderly.
