Temporal changes and gender differences related to orofacial symptoms in two cohorts of 75-year-old Swedish subjects examined in 2007 and 2017: A repeated cross-sectional study.

TMD-related symptoms increased while complaints from oral lesions and daytime mouth dryness decreased between 2007 and 2017. Temporal changes were otherwise few, but the findings underline the gender inequalities that exist, to the disadvantage of women. This must be considered when planning for clinical care/dental education to appropriately address the needs of older people.
