<b>Objective:</b> To investigate the periodontal conditions of institutionalized and non-institutionalized elderly patients in philanthropic and private institutions. <b>Methods:</b> This is a prospective cohort study of 128 elderly (94 non-institutionalized elderly and 34 institutionalized elderly) conducted using a clinical form based on the SB Brazil Project 2010. Statistical analysis was performed using Factor Analysis, the Mann-Whitney Test and the Qui-squared test. <b>Results:</b> The periodontal conditions of the elderly patients worsened with time, regardless of their housing situation, even with the reduction of the percentage of sextants with periodontal clinical parameters. The worsening of the advanced periodontal disease factor was associated with the variables; housing status, diabetes, and cognitive capacity. <b>Conclusion: </b>It should be emphasized that, currently, the elderly have more teeth in their mouths and consequently greater susceptibility to periodontal disease, in contrast to those who have already lost their teeth due to periodontal disease.
