• No teeth or dentures, six percent of deaths in the mouth. Only 2.7 percent had a complete dentition with no dental restorations.
"Druckliegegeschwüre are in care in North Rhine-Westphalia a big problem," says Lothar scratch by the Hospital Association NRW. The staffing situation was extremely tense.
