Abstract

Objectives: The oral hygiene of nursing home residents is poor. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of professional brushing using a specialized brush every three weeks and its impact on geriatric outcomes. Methods: Nursing home residents received professional brushing with a three‐headed brush by a dental nurse every three weeks for three months. Controls comprised subjects from an earlier investigation. Their general clinical, geriatric and oral health (number of teeth, periodontitis, Gingivitis Index, Plaque Index, Root Caries Index, Volpe‐Manhold Index [VMI]) were investigated, and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) was obtained before and after three months. Results: Forty nursing home residents were included. Seventy‐six percent of participants suffered from periodontitis, while 48% had partial and 20% total dentures. After three months, VMI had decreased vs baseline (P < .001). An improvement in nutritional status (P = .012) was found in residents with dementia after the intervention, as well as an improvement in the GOHAI (P = .031) in all participants. Gingivitis and plaque indices did not improve. Conclusions: The oral health of nursing home residents is poor for various reasons, and nursing home staff cannot fully address the increased oral hygiene risk with increasing multimorbidity. Professional brushing performed regularly by a dental nurse is an efficient method to improve oral hygiene in nursing home residents and may contribute to better nutritional status and quality of life. However, brushing every three weeks with a three‐headed brush was not effective at improving gingivitis or plaque and was inferior to the two‐week brushing interval with a manual toothbrush.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
