Oral health is associated with nutritional intake and overall well-being in elderly populations and progressivelydeteriorates with aging. In addition, salivary gland function, which plays a major role in oral defense, alsodecreases with age. However, the mechanisms involved in this age-related decline have not beencomprehensively studied due to a lack of proper laboratory animal models for studying changes in oral healthwith aging. The common marmoset is a relatively short-lived non-human primate (NHP) that recapitulates manyof the physiological changes that occur in human aging.
