The aim of this study is to gain knowledge and understanding about older adults' experiences of comprehensive oral prosthetic rehabilitation and their life situation before, during and after the treatment. This is both to deepen the knowledge gained in an ongoing interventional study, but also to increase the understanding of how to best meet older adults' needs when planning and performing oral rehabilitation in any dental surgery.
This qualitative study will be based on individual, semi-structured interviews using an Interview Guide focusing on the participantsÂŽ perceptions, experiences, and reflections. The interviews will then be analyzed with a descriptive content analysis method according to Graneheim and Lundman.

The participants have been assessed with comprehensive quantitative methods of their neuropsychological status, oral function, and quality of life in conjunction with the original study from which they were recruited. They were then treated with oral prosthetic therapy and are reassessed at a follow-up three months after completion of the therapy. Our participants are recruited consecutively as they finish treatment at the Eastman Institute until we consider to have obtained "saturation" of our results.
