Various physiological changes are observed at specific phases of life in a women as there is a variation in the level of female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. A significant influence is seen in the oral cavity especially in the gingival sulcus, periodontium and the alveolar bone. Oral health awareness in geriatric females is important to minimize these consequences. The rehabilitation process in geriatric females, thus requires a modified approach. A full clinical examination is required for complete evaluation prior beginning the prosthetic therapy. The further communication expressed here highlights geriatric females that constitute a significant group of patients who require special preventive and therapeutic care from clinicians in this period.
