Mama Toña has lost her vision in her right eye due to cataracts, she suffers from high blood pressure, arthritis, and deafness. During dental consultation we found a prosthesis overflowing with several decades of use and in poor condition, which lacerated and irritated her oral mucosa and made it difficult for her to eat food.
