📝Abstract

Periodontal health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, influencing not just oral functionality but also systemic health. Geriatric and paediatric populations present distinct challenges in maintaining periodontal health due to unique physiological, psychological, and social factors. This review explores these challenges, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches to periodontal care. Through an analysis of physiological considerations, common periodontal issues, and effective management strategies, this article provides insights into optimizing care for these vulnerable groups.
