Since changes in the oral cavity that cause aging lead to physiological changes that predispose the elderly to develop periodontal diseases, which is the most common condition, causing changes in periodontal tissues that most often culminate without edentulism. Before that, this research aimed to investigate a periodontal condition in institutionalized and non-institutionalized elderly from philanthropic and private institutions. This research is characterized by being a qualified prospective cohort for 128 elderly, 94 non-institutionalized and 34 institutionalized elderly. Most of the elderly were diagnosed with periodontics in stages I/II and grade A. The periodontal condition of the elderly is applied by individuals suffering from institutional damage or not seen by those suffering gingival bleeding, dental calculus, shallow and deep periodontal pocket. As latent variables created from the periodontal condition were Periodontal disease, Periodontal disease sequel and Deep periodontal pocket. There was a significant relationship (p <0.05) between functional capacity and periodontal impact factors and Deep periodontal pocket. The worsening of the Deep periodontal pocket factor was associated with variables institutionalization, diabetes and cognitive ability. It was concluded that in relation to periodontal diagnosis, the majority of the elderly have a higher prevalence of periodontics in recent groups and granules, as well as the elderly who were not institutionalized, non-diabetic and oriented are related to the worst Deep periodontal pocket.
