Abstract
The relationship among dentition status, masticatory function and nutrient intake is of importance. Dietary factors are related to the cause and prevention of important diseases, including cancer, coronary heart disease, cataracts. Elderly denture wearers are vulnerable to compromised nutritional health due to various factors including: physiologic, psychosocial, oral, functional, medical and dietary supplementation. Dietary guidance is an integral part of treatment for denture wearers. An overview of the relationship between denture wearers and malnutrition and the nutritional strategies to obtain good oral and general health in denture wearers are being discussed.
