Annotation:

The article focuses on the evolving area of geriatric dentistry. The article examined international practices within this domain and proposed a “road map” for the development of domestic gerodontology, which provides the implementation of a number of tasks, namely: compiling a questionnaire and conducting a survey on the state of geriatric dentistry in Ukraine among higher educational institutions training dentists; further adoption of advanced European and world experience; studying the opinion of the target audience – elderly patients, – regarding their satisfaction with the level of specialized dental care; implementation of interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary educational programs to be applied at the undergraduate/postgraduate stages of dental education; design of long-term/shortterm certificate programs to be offered to dentists in the process of continuous professional development in order to increase the share of gerodontologists in the structure of dentists in Ukraine.
