Background and Aim
Dementia is a severe public health issue that affects millions of people in the world. The large number of individuals diagnosed with dementia results in the common presence of these patients in a dental medicine environment.
There is an urgent need to develop functional performance algorithms that are validated and tested in the treatment of dementia patients at the dental clinic.
