• Resumo em Inglês: Brazil undergoes a process of rapid and intense population aging, creating a concern about how to properly structure health services for the elderly. Many elderly patients present alterations in the oral cavity, due to the manifestations of systemic diseases, nutritional deficiencies, drug side effects, poorly adapted prostheses, little education about the importance of adequate hygiene, among other reasons. The purpose of this study was to verify the main types of lesions affecting the oral cavity of the elderly treated at a Gama Living Center. Intraoral and extraoral evaluation of 80 elderly people, with average age of 70 years, most of them female (71%). Many had oral lesions, with more prevalence of candidiasis (20%), intraoral exam and angular cheilitis (5%), on extraoral examination. It also presented a high CPO-D index, 50% of the sample with a total of 28 missing teeth, decayed and obturated, as well as inadequate hygiene and presence of lingual flap (75%). Demonstrating the importance of prevention, health care programs, specialized care and oral health orientation of the population evaluated.
