ABSTRACT Using osseointegrated implants to replace teeth is a routine procedure today. This study investigated oral status, oral hygiene habits, and patient satisfaction in elderly with dental implants who were dependent on substantial support for daily living. Twenty‐six persons over the age of 65 who were dependent on supportive care were examined. Data collected included the number of teeth and implants, plaque scores, bleeding on probing, and oral hygiene habits. Self‐perceived knowledge about managing their implants and satisfaction with the implants was recorded. Subjects had a total of 148 natural teeth and 144 implants. Only a few signs of oral disease were found and the tissues around implants were healthier than around natural teeth. No correlations between oral hygiene habits and plaque scores or bleeding were found. A majority of the subjects were satisfied with their implants. Dental implants have satisfactory function even in individuals who are elderly and have substantial needs for supportive care.

South Pole, together with Gaia, organised the Nordic Platform for Mobilising Climate Finance during 2020/2021. The aim of the platform was to distil recommendations to the Nordic governments on how they can facilitate and catalyse low-carbon investments, in order to meet the Nordics' climate neutrality goals. The platform brought together over 30 Nordic companies, investors and civil society organisations for two tailored webinar series; to discuss the most prevalent climate-related private sector topics, and what measures are needed from the Nordic governments. This was followed by a workshop to allow for further stakeholder discussion, and to formulate final recommendations to the Nordic governments.

During the course of 2020-2021, South Pole and Gaia have organized the Nordic Platform on Mobilising Climate Finance on behalf of NKL (Climate and Air Pollution Group -Nordic Council of Ministers). This factsheet summarizes the results from phase 2: the results of a Nordic TCFD workshop, incl. recommendations to the Nordic governments.
