Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to gain knowledge and understanding about older adults' experiences of comprehensive oral prosthetic rehabilitation and their life situation before, during and after the treatment. This is both to deepen the knowledge gained in an ongoing interventional study, but also to increase the understanding of how to best meet older adults' needs when planning and performing oral rehabilitation in any dental surgery.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Older adults who have undergone extensive oral rehabilitation

The cohort includes older adults, who have been referred to the Eastman Institute in Stockholm for extensive oral prosthetic rehabilitation. They have previously agreed to participate in the intervention study "Cognitive changes and neural correlates after oral rehabilitation procedures in older adults" at the Eastman Institute in Stockholm . The oral rehabilitation usually includes fixed prosthodontics. These patients are asked to participate in one interview after their treatment is completed to share their experiences before, during, and after the treatment.
