Among the oral pathology associated with geriatric patients we found more often we with traumatic injuries. The physiological changes that occurs during aging, makes that oral structures would be more susceptible to the action of irritants or traumatic agents, so it is important to establish different protocols for prevention and early diagnosis. In this paper we will review the major traumatic injuries found in the elderly patient depending on the time of evolution and so we classify the lesions in acute and chronic.
