All the Elderly participants were retired members of the Tehran Municipality Administration. The study data were collected by direct visit to the subjects’ place of residence and conducting interviews. The data collection tool was a questionnaire that included 2 sections.

Results We collected data from 158 participants (90 men, 68 women). The mean age of the participants was 68. 78 years. The obtained data suggested that 38 (24. 05%) participants had a poor state of Oral health. About 50% of the participants mentioned high dental care costs as a reason for not referring to the dentist. According to the findings of this study, there is a direct relationship between educational level and Oral health status in the Elderly (P<0. 05).
