Introduction
Demographic projections for the coming years tell us of an aging population with more chronic medical pathologies. The social reality is making a considerable number of people with special needs, frail elderly or with important chronic pathologies live in residences or specific centers. These patients require dental care that goes beyond the mere routine and one-off care function, encompassing prevention concepts and incorporating differentiated equipment and work techniques
