Abstract Objective: an integrative review of the treatment of oral candidiasis, root caries and xerostomia among the elderly population, focusing on Primary Health Care, was carried out. Method: scientific articles were collected from the MEDLINE/PUBMED database using the keywords "Geriatric dentistry" and "Oral health", crossed with corresponding descriptors, together with specific terms for the pathologies studied, and with “the clinical trial” filter activated. The abstracts of the articles were read by three researchers. Result: oral candidiasis: six randomized clinical trials and one quasi-experimental design study, on the treatment of prosthetic stomatitis by medication and/or the disinfection of dentures by different techniques, were identified; root caries: three randomized clinical trials were included, which tested the use of mouthwash with chlorhexidine solution and oral hygiene instruction associated or otherwise with other drugs; and xerostomia: two articles were analyzed using various medications, and the functional massage of the salivary glands and associated muscles. Conclusion: The results demonstrate a variety of treatment options for the studied clinical situations, although these should be adapted to the characteristics of the services and the population, as standard treatment in Primary Health Care has not been established. Strategies based on soft technologies, such as health education, seem to provide good results. The present study provides additional knowledge for health professionals in search of more resolutive and qualified dental care for the elderly in primary health care.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To identify knowledge produced about drug utilization by the elderly in the primary health care context from 2006 to 2014. METHOD An integrative review of the PubMed, LILACS, BDENF, and SCOPUS databases, including qualitative research papers in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. It excluded papers with insufficient information regarding the methodological description. RESULTS Search found 633 papers that, after being subjected to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, made up a corpusof 76 publications, mostly in English and produced in the United States, England, and Brazil. Results were pooled in eight thematic categories showing the current trend of drug use in the elderly, notably the use of psychotropics, polypharmacy, the prevention of adverse events, and adoption of technologies to facilitate drug management by the elderly. Studies point out the risks posed to the elderly as a consequence of changes in metabolism and simultaneous use of several drugs. CONCLUSION There is strong concern about improving communications between professionals and the elderly in order to promote an exchange of information about therapy, and in this way prevent major health complications in this population.

RÉSUMÉCe livre contient des articles, un échange de points de vue et réfutation officielle d'une conférence qui s'est déroulée en avril 1985 au Health Sciences Center de l'université du Texas à Houston. Une tribune d'experts renommés discute de questions et problémes causés par une population âgée croissante aux États-Unis. Les sujets abordés incluent les politiques formulées au niveau social et au niveau de la santé pour répondre aux besoins d'une société vieillissante, les contraintes biologiques sur le vieillissement de la personne, les soins à domicile comparés aux soins hospitaliers, et les questions financières reliées à la désinstitutionnalisation des soins à la santé pour les personnes âgées. De plus il est question d'utiliser les foyers d'accueil enseignants pour éduquer les praticiens aux soins particuliers que requièrent les gens âgés. Également on traite de la promotion de la sauté ainsi que les personnes du troisième âge et des leçons qu'il convient aux États-Unis de retenir après avoir étudié les systèmes de soins à la santé pour personnes âgées dans d'autres pays. Ce livre aide à comprendre les forces et les faiblesses du système de soins américain au moment où il doit faire face à un nombre croissant de personnes âgées.
