The private sector in Switzerland provides a mobile dental service to elderly people mostly through the use of portable equipment, while university services are provided in a variable configuration of models. Better collaboration is required to improve dental care and service delivery to dependent elders. There is a potential for improvement of these services, in order to meet the demand of an ageing population, catering for both the institutionalised elders and those living at home.
