Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the oral hygiene (dental and denture plaque) among residents in nursing homes that have implemented an oral healthcare programme (Gerodent) with that of residents in nursing homes that provide standard oral care.
Background: Gerodent is a comprehensive oral healthcare programme introduced in 2010, which includes mobile on-site professional oral care. Sixty-two nursing homes have actively implemented Gerodent between 8 and 12 years preceding this study.
