This pt has been a long time pt who recently went through a bout with prostate cancer and returns to my office with aggressive decay on UR/UL posterior regions and increased periodontal disease. Pt is male, former smoker (quit about 5 yrs ago) and in his 70s.

How would you manage this pt moving forward? I want to be realistic with the dentistry that I promise him and not heroic, so is this the time to have the complete denture conversation, or would you start with partial dentures knowing that the decay rate may continue to progress?

Thanks.
