| Abstract: | Editor's note: This brief paper describes a simple, yet important procedure that brings students into meaningful contact with elderly patients in a nursing home environment. It is most important that students be afforded opportunity for exposure to living conditions and care facilities for the elderly. Readers are invited to express their thoughts (not necessarily about denture identification techniques). |
