Aim: To examine factors that affect the performance of oral health care (OHC) for older people receiving nursing care at home.

Oral health and oral health-related quality of life among older adults receiving home health care services: A scoping review.

Objective: To map the literature on subjective and objective oral health indicators and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older adults receiving home health care services (HHCS).

Background: The proportion of older adults in need of HHCS will increase in the coming years. Previous studies indicate that frail and dependent older adults are at increased risk for oral diseases, due to challenges with daily oral hygiene and regular access to dental services.
