Abstract
All directors of all nursing homes in the German state of Hessen were interviewed about dental care and treatment of their senior inhabitants. They were also asked for some critical remarks about their staff's education concerning both oral health and hygiene. The response-rate of almost 46% shows the proband interest in this topic. The results of the opinion poll recommended further co-operation between geriatrics and gerodontics.
