Abstract

The aging process, as in the whole organism, generates a series of changes in the stomatognathic structures, and these morphological changes, characteristic in the swallowing mechanism in healthy elderly subjects, characterize Presbyophagia. An interesting discussion is generated around presbyophagia and the parameters of safety, effectiveness, competence and comfort, given that neurological-structural changes are frequent in the elderly, which carry various consequences, from mild to severe degrees, that impact in a differentiated way in the indicators that are usually described in the clinic. However, the conceptualization used is not clear when making a distinction between a transitional state or a state of affection. For this reason, it is analyzed whether there are key factors that allow elucidating the contemporary conception to create a unified language in favor of directing speech therapy actions towards the areas of health promotion of the swallowing function and prevention of dysphagia in this population.
