ABSTRACT

Alzheimer’s disease is the unrivalled cause and commonest form of dementia. The exact etiology and pathophysiologic mechanism of Alzheimer’s disease is still not fully understood. However it is hypothesized that, neuro inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Subjects, particularly in the geriatric category should be strongly motivated and frequent visits for periodontal maintenance should be duly emphasized. The dental professional and neurologist need to co-ordinate consistently regarding the methodical management of geriatric patients.
