Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to describe the quantity and quality of oral hygiene content in a representative sample of before-licensure nursing fundamentals textbooks. Seven textbooks were examined. Quantity was operationalized as the actual page count and percentage of content devoted to oral health and hygiene. Quality of content was operationalized as congruency with best mouth care practices. Best mouth care practices included evidence-based and consensus-based practices as published primarily by the American Dental Association and supported by both published nursing research and review articles specific to mouth care and published dental research and review articles specific to mouth care. Content devoted to oral health and hygiene averaged 0.6%. Although the quality of the content was highly variable, nearly every textbook contained some erroneous or outdated information. The most common areas for inaccuracy included the use of foam sponges for mouth care in dentate persons instead of soft toothbrushes and improper denture removal.

Full textAbstract:
Personal hygiene is an independent self-care activity, including maintaining the cleanliness of body parts consisting of hair, clean eyes, nose, mouth, teeth and skin. Self-care deficit is a situation where a person experiences a lack of technological level to carry out individual personal hygiene activities including bathing, hygiene and defecation (Abdul, 2015). According to Orem, lack of self-care is an individual's inability to carry out personal hygiene adequately, so several systems are needed that can help clients meet their self-care needs (Erlando, 2019).

Background Oropharyngeal colonization with pathogenic organisms contributes to the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units. Although considered basic and potentially nonessential nursing care, oral hygiene has been proposed as a key intervention for reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia. Nevertheless, evidence from randomized controlled trials that could inform best practice is limited. Objective To appraise the peer-reviewed literature to determine the best available evidence for providing oral care to intensive care patients receiving mechanical ventilation and to document a research agenda for this important activity in optimizing patients’ outcomes. Methods Articles published from 1985 to 2006 in English and indexed in the CINAHL, MEDLINE, Joanna Briggs Institute, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and DARE databases were searched by using the key terms oral hygiene, oral hygiene practices, oral care, mouth care, mouth hygiene, intubated, mechanically ventilated, intensive care, and critical care. Reference lists of retrieved journal articles were searched for publications missed during the primary search. Finally, the Google search engine was used to do a comprehensive search of the World Wide Web to ensure completeness of the search. The search strategy was verified by a health librarian. Results The search yielded 55 articles: 11 prospective controlled trials, 20 observational studies, and 24 descriptive reports. Methodological issues and the heterogeneity of samples precluded meta-analysis. Conclusions Despite the importance of providing oral hygiene to intensive care patients receiving mechanical ventilation, high-level evidence from rigorous randomized controlled trials or high-quality systematic reviews that could inform clinical practice is scarce.

Full textAbstract:
Oral care is an important part of nursing management in intubated patients as it affects both wellness and clinical outcomes of intensive care patients. Many of the intubated patients develop nosocomial pneumonia (ventilator-associated-pneumonia when on mechanical ventilation) owing to invasion by oropharyngeal microorganisms in intensive care patients. So intensive care intubated patients need proper oral assessment and oral care to avoid complications caused by oropharyngeal bacteria. We aimed to determine the standard practice guidelines over oral hygiene intubated patients in intensive care unit. For the purpose of collection of data we searched extensively on internet databases including Pub Med, Med know, Google scholar and EBSCO HOST. The keywords used were oral care, oral hygiene practice, mouth care, mouth hygiene, intubated, mechanical ventilation, intensive care and critical care. We analysed the studies performed on adult intensive care intubated patients, published in peer reviewed. Type of studies analysed were descriptive evaluation studies, randomised controlled trials, literature review and meta-analysis and randomised clinical trials. After the analysis of all study article we concluded that oral brushing with chlorhexidine solution in various strength (0.12%, 0.2%, 2%) at least twice a day can reduce the incidence of VAP in intensive care intubated patients.

Full textAbstract:
As the month of Ramadan approaches, it is essential to emphasize the significance of maintaining proper oral hygiene and dental care during this holy month. Fasting is a central component of Ramadan and involves abstaining from food and drink from dawn until dusk. This can have implications for oral health as individuals may consume more sugary or acidic foods during non-fasting hours, leading to an increased risk of dental decay and erosion. Additionally, changes in hydration and saliva production can affect the oral microbiome and increase the risk of oral disease.It is, therefore, crucial for individuals to maintain good oral hygiene practices during Ramadan. This includes brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce the buildup of plaque and bacteria. It is also advisable to avoid consuming sugary or acidic foods during non-fasting hours and to opt for healthier options such as fruits and vegetables.Furthermore, it is essential to stay hydrated during non-fasting hours by drinking plenty of water and avoiding sugary drinks such as soda or fruit juice. Dehydration can reduce saliva production, leading to a dry mouth, which can increase the risk of dental decay and gum disease.Finally, it is recommended to schedule routine dental check-ups and cleanings before and after Ramadan to ensure that any dental issues are identified and treated promptly. This is especially important for individuals with pre-existing dental conditions such as gum disease or dental decay.In conclusion, maintaining good oral hygiene and dental care practices during Ramadan is essential for optimal oral health. By adopting simple measures such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, avoiding sugary or acidic foods, and staying hydrated, individuals can ensure that their oral health is not compromised during this holy month. We urge our readers to spread awareness about the importance of oral health during Ramadan and encourage them to take necessary measures to maintain good oral hygiene.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to describe how the neurobiological principles of threat perception and fear response can support clinical approaches to prevent and reduce care-resistant behaviors during mouth care. Nursing home residents who exhibit care-resistant behavior are at risk for poor oral health because daily oral hygiene may not be consistently provided. Poor oral health predisposes these older people to systemic problems such as pneumonia, cerebral vascular accidents, and hyperglycemia. Care-resistant behavior is a fear-evoked response to nurses’ unintentionally threatening behavior during mouth care. Nurses can safely and effectively provide mouth care to persons with dementia who resist care by using personalized combinations of 15 threat reduction strategies.

Abstract Relevance. Improving the efciency of dental orthopedic care for patients with generalized periodontal disease is an actual modern problem.Materials and methods. A comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of various types of toothpaste in the postoperative period of dental implantation due to partial absence of teeth, periodontitis of moderate severity during gum recession was carried out. In group I (group I, n = 32), patients used a paste containing sodium bicarbonate, in group II (n = 25) – without sodium bicarbonate. Postoperative complaints and symptoms of reactive inflammation were monitored for 10 days; before the operation, after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after it – hygiene indices Silness J., Loe H., Muhllemen; PMA index.Results. In general, the duration of postoperative reactive inflammation in the groups did not have signifcant differences, but in terms of the relief of edema, bleeding and the severity of breath from the mouth, the best results were in the patients of the group. The hygiene indices before the operation and immediately after it were comparable, but a month after the surgical intervention in patients of group I, all the hygiene indices were better, over time these differences increased and had a reliable character. The Muhlemann index was more dependent on the use of single-stage implantation technology using growth factor, while the PMA index, on the contrary, reflected the effectiveness of not only surgical technology, but also the quality of postoperative hygienic and therapeutic measures.Conclusions. Studies have shown that the systematic use in the postoperative period of toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate allows you to stop edema, bleeding and the severity of breath from the mouth, improves the performance of basic hygiene indices than other types of toothpastes.

Full textAbstract:
Since the oral cavity has a specific role in maintaining wellbeing, appropriate care can help to increase quality of life by keeping the mouth free from infection, maintaining dentition - thus facilitating ‘normal’ eating - and restoring appearance. Yet, as age increases, the ability to carry out effective oral care may be jeopardized by physical and mental disability and an associated inability to manage personal care. Indeed, a significant relationship between dexterity, impaired oral hygiene and accumulation of dental plaque has been demonstrated in institutionalized older adults. Although levels of untreated dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth loss may be significant, oral care is frequently overlooked in older individuals; dental care is rarely provided in institutional settings, often being sought only when an oral health problem is identified. There is, therefore, a significant unmet dental need, associated with marked oral disease and poor levels of oral hygiene. This is often exacerbated by the effects of aging on the mouth.

Full textAbstract:
The Institute of Medicine Report called for a greater role for nurses within the context of oral health in two recent publications,Advancing Oral Health in America(2011) andImproving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations(2011). Nurses provide care for many vulnerable persons, including frail and functionally dependent older adults, persons with disabilities, and persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These persons are the least likely to receive necessary, health-sustaining dental care (which is distinct from mouth care). The mouth, or more accurately, plaque, serves as a reservoir for bacteria and pathogens. The link between mouth care, oral health, and systemic health is well-documented; infections such as pneumonia have been linked to poor oral health. Nurses, therefore, need to reframe mouth care as oral infection control and infection control more broadly. The can provide the preventive measure that are crucial to minimizing systemic infections. Nurses in all settings can potentially provide mouth care, conduct oral health assessments, educate patients about best mouth care practices, and make dental referrals. Yet, nurses are often hesitant to do anything beyond basic oral hygiene—and even in this area, often fail to provide mouth care based on best practices.

Poor oral hygiene is a common complaint of the youth of the present world. Improper time management and lazy behavior toward cleanliness may affect the oral hygiene of an individual. 33% of Indian youth are affected by poor oral hygiene. In this case study, a 32-year-old adult presents with gum swelling, discoloration of teeth, and persistent bad odor from mouth for 2 months, history reflected negligence behavior towards oral care. The patient's present status was quantified on the index of oral hygiene (OHI) having Debris Index (DI) and Calculus Index (CI). OHI before treatment resulted in a score of 3.85 reflecting poor oral hygiene and after doing Gandusha (~holding the medicated liquid in mouth) with PanchvalkalKwatha for 30 days, the OHI reduced to 2.67 reflecting fair oral hygiene. Gandusha is a conventional treatment method for improving various oral ailments as per Ayurveda while PanchvalkalKwatha (~dry mixture of 5 medicines) has an established antibacterial activity whose effect corrects the swelling and bad odor and continuous use helps in Lekhaniya (~therapeutic scrapping) property reduces the debris impacted to give discoloration to the tooth, Rukshaguna (~dry property) and Kashayarasa (~astringent taste) of all the drugs reduces vitiated Kaphadosha resulting in the improved oral hygiene.

During a stroke, the mouth tends to become an unhealthy place and may give rise to various life-threatening conditions. To this end, there have been repeated calls to incorporate oral hygiene guidelines and practices for hospitalized stroke patients to prevent aspiration pneumonia and improve patients’ oral health. The objective of the study was to determine health care providers’ practices of oral health care among patients hospitalized after an occurrence of stroke and to determine health care providers’ background and work environment effect on these practices. A cross-sectional study was conducted among stroke care providers in 13 public hospitals in Malaysia. The questionnaires distributed were self-administered, where nursing staff provided details of their oral health care practices for stroke patients. Information on the background of health care providers and work environment was also collected. Overall, a total of 780 responses from the registered nurses were obtained. Almost half of the respondents (48.1%) reported that they recommended toothbrushing twice or more per day to stroke patients. Two-thirds (64.7%) reported that they performed daily mouthwashing on their patient, while less than half (38.8%) reported daily oral hygiene assistance. Result of the analysis revealed that oral hygiene practices were significantly associated with having working wards ( P < 0.05), level of qualification ( P < 0.05), having oral health care guidelines ( P < 0.001), specific resources ( P < 0.05), and attending previous training in oral care ( P < 0.001). Provision of oral hygiene practices for hospitalized stroke patients is important. A lack of oral health care guidelines, support from dental professionals, specific resources, training, and assistance in daily oral care for patients is evident and detrimental to oral hygiene practices. The current findings have significant implications for new initiatives to support health care providers, particularly the registered nurses performing oral health care for hospitalized stroke patients. Knowledge Transfer Statement: This study may provide a basis of information for improving the delivery of oral health care to stroke patients. Enhancement in the training and improvement in the existing guidelines and resources is pivotal for the provision of better oral health care for the potential benefits to these patients, including their improved quality of life and disease prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is when a patient who received mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours develops pneumonia. According to the literature, the prevalence rate of VAP in patients experiencing mechanical ventilation is 9%–68%, its resulting mortality is 30%–70%, it also extends hospital and ICU stay by 6–7 days, raises healthcare costs by $40,000 per patient. VAP is a serious complication in the critically ill one factor causing VAP is an aspiration of oral colonization which may result from poor oral hygiene care. Oral hygiene care using either a mouth rinse or with help of forceps and gauze or combination together with the aspiration of secretion can reduce the risk of VAP in these critically ill patients. Method The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of strengthening oral hygiene practices and develop cost-effective and easy to use protocols of oral hygiene for ventilator-dependent patients. This study is an observational study conducted in all intensive care unit at tertiary care hospital, 41 bedded inpatient critical care area including high dependency unit (HDU)/coronary care unit (CCU), medical intensive care unit (MICU), surgical intensive care unit (SICU), neonate intensive care unit (NICU) and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Approximately 500 patients were admitted monthly to the intensive care unit. All ventilated patients admitted to the intensive care unit are included. Intervention is done in three phases: firstly, VAP device-associated infection (DAI’s) surveillance initiated according to the CDC guideline. HAI’s surveillance was done on daily basis. Secondly, educate staff regarding DAI’s surveillance, VAP bundle, Oral care and suction technique of ventilated patient). Ongoing training and hands-on practice on mannequin and also perform sign-off on the patient first under supervision of Nurse instructor and infection control officers. Finally, VAP bundle was initiated which include elevation of head, daily sedation vacation, and assessment of readiness to extubate, daily oral hygiene care, and assessment of stress ulcer and deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis. Result Before implementation, we just calculate all pneumonia rates together not using proper guidelines. But after we follow CDC guideline for DAI’s surveillance, we trained more than 50% of critical care staff out of 93 staffs, and 90% to 95% compliance of using chlorhexidine gluconate for oral care at least per shift and also as per patient needed observed in ventilated patients. Conclusion The implementation of these changes in practices along with using chlorhexidine gluconate products has made it possible to achieve goal and staff perform work according to the best practice guideline. Oral care hygiene using chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) as an element of the ventilator bundle is supposed to decontaminate the mouth, avoid aspiration of contaminated secretion into the respiratory tract and prevent VAP.

ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to determine oral health practices among under graduate dental students from Pravara Rural Dental college Loni. Methods A self administered questionnaire was distributed among dental students randomly. The questionnaire was developed to assess the self reported perception of oral hygiene practices. Results The response rate was 85%. 15% of the students did not answer the questionnaire completely so were not included in the study. (n=252) 67.46% students reported brushing twice daily while only 5.55% were brushing thrice daily, 26.98% of them were brushing once in a day. 96.03% the students reported using toothpaste, 79.75% of them were using fluoridated toothpaste this indicates that many of them were well aware of fact that fluorides have significant role in dental caries and show potential therapeutic, adjunctive and preventive use in the treatment of periodontal diseases. 73.41% of students reported rinsing their mouth with water, only 23.80% were using mouthwashes. All of them were using one or more oral cleaning aids i.e. dental floss, interdental brush and tongue cleaner.seventy nine percent students were reported using tongue cleaners. Conclusion The results indicate that more emphasis should be given on Oral health care of Undergraduate dental students and further research is needed to examine oral cavity clinically and objectively by standard procedures available.

During pregnancy there will be changes in the hormone’s estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal changes will cause the tissues in the oral cavity to become more sensitive to plaque and tartar bacteria, causing a faster inflammatory response and causing symptoms of dental and oral disease. The presence of plaque bacteria in the oral cavity of pregnant women is also known to spread through the blood vessels to the fetus and disrupt the process of fetal growth and development. At that time, pregnant women must keep their teeth and mouth healthy. This study aims to determine the dental and oral care of pregnant women at Ulee Kareng Public Health Center Banda Aceh. This research is descriptive with a cross sectional study design. The sample in this study were pregnant women who performed dental and oral care, totaling 22 people with the Accidental Sampling technique. The study was conducted for one full month in December 2019. The results showed that pregnant women still did not brush their teeth properly and rarely went to the dentist during their pregnancy. So, it can be concluded that the actions of pregnant women in dental care during pregnancy are still not good and it is recommended for health workers to be more proactive in providing counseling to villages, especially pregnant women.

Full textAbstract:
Dentist’s frequently encounter patients who are medically, physically or mentally compromised. One such medical condition is ‘hydrocephalus’. Hydrocephalus is basically a neurological disorder caused by excessive intracranial pressure due to abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the ventricles or subarachnoid space of brain and raised intracranial pressure. Ventriculo-Peritoneal Shunt (VPS) is the most commonly used treatment though ventriculo-atrial shunt is also another treatment option. To maintain the intracranial pressure within normal range, the patients are kept on medications which make them more prone for dental malformations and caries. Because of the poor oral hygiene, these patients require a regular dental care. This report discusses the dental management process employed for a five years old patient having hydrocephalus.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between oral health and hygiene practices and oral cancer. METHODS: Hospital-based case-control study in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, from 1998 to 2002. A total 309 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth and the pharynx and 468 controls matched by sex and age were included in the study. Cases were recruited in seven reference hospitals and controls were selected in five out of the seven participating hospitals. Detailed information on smoking, alcohol consumption, schooling, oral health status and hygiene practices were obtained through interviews. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), adjusted by sex, age, schooling, smoking, alcohol consumption as well as the variables oral health status and hygiene practices were estimated using unconditional logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: The use of complete dental prosthesis was not associated with oral cancer but regular gum bleeding showed a strong association (OR 3.1; 95% CI 1.2-7.9). Those who never attended a dental visit were more likely to have oral cancer (OR 2.5; 95% CI 1.3-4.8). Daily mouthwash use showed a stronger association to pharynx (OR 4.7; 95% CI 1.8-12.5) than mouth cancer (OR 3.2; 95% CI 1.6-6.3). CONCLUSIONS: Gum bleeding, no dental care, and daily mouthwash use were factors associated with oral cancer regardless of tobacco and alcohol consumption.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Xerostomia, generally referred to as dry mouth, has been identified as a side effect of more than 1,800 drugs from more than 80 groups. This condition is frequently unrecognised and untreated but may affect patients’ quality of life and cause problems with oral and medical health, including burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Purpose: The purpose of this case is to discuss how to manage a patient with BMS caused by xerostomia secondary to medication that has been taken by the patient. Case: We reported that a 45-year-old male military officer from the Royal Malaysian Air Force came to Kuching Armed Forces Dental Clinic with dry mouth and a burning sensation since he started taking 10 mg of amlodipine due to his hypertension. After a thorough physical and history examination, we made a diagnosis of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) caused by xerostomia secondary to amlodipine. Case Management: Oral hygiene instructions, diet advice and prescription of Oral7 mouthwash has been given to reduce the symptoms of BMS. The patient has been referred to the general practitioner to reduce his amlodipine dosage from 10 mg to 5 mg (OD) in order to prevent xerostomia, and oral hygiene instructions have been given. A review after two weeks showed significant changes in the oral cavity, and the patient was satisfied as he is no longer feeling the burning sensation and can enjoy his food without feeling difficulty in chewing and swallowing. Conclusion: Adverse drug events are normal in the oral cavity and may have a number of clinical presentations such as xerostomia. Xerostomia can cause many implications as saliva helps in maintaining oral mucosa and has a protective function. The signs of adverse drug incidents in the oral cavity should be identified to oral health care professionals.

Keeping your teeth for life? Who doesn’t care about their health? But do you know that systemic health is related to oral health? In fact, the mouth is the gateway for external attacks by bacteria and viruses entering the body. Poor oral hygiene is typically characterized by signs of redness of the gingiva, bleeding gums, pain, caries, etc. subjecting the body to multiple systemic risks. Here authors, Dr. Neha Dixit and Dr. Marcel Donnet explore that Professional teeth cleaning is essential for maintaining oral hygiene and reducing risk of caries, any tooth decay, periodontal or peri-implant disease. To boost the health of the oral cavity, it is strongly recommended that we perform regular oral hygiene, which includes professional teeth cleaning. Dental prevention combines daily home care and regular professional teeth cleaning. The main objective is to keep the oral cavity healthy and reduce the risk of caries, any tooth decay or periodontal or peri-implant disease.

Removable orthodontic appliances can be among the causes of microbial irritation in the oral cavity. The aim of the present study was to assess the oral hygiene status of patients with denture-related stomatitis. We carried out comprehensive dental checkup of 17 patients aged 51 to 69 years with denture-related stomatitis was performed. A bacterioscopic laboratory examination was performed for all patients. The denture hygiene index by E. Ambjörnsen has been determined. Denture-related stomatitis of the patients examined was manifested by various clinical signs. The species composition of the oral microflora when wearing removable dentures deviated from normal values. The Candida fungi were revealed in 13 (76.47%) cases; actinomycetes were recorded in 7 (42.2%) cases. We found that 82.35% of the patients with manifestations of denture-related stomatitis did not follow adequate oral hygienic. The study has shown that 3 (17.64%) cases were assessed as having satisfactory hygienic status. Poor denture hygiene (HI = 2.66) was observed in 5 (29.41%) of the cases. The unsatisfactory hygienic status of the dentures was recorded in 9 (52.94%) of cases and averaged 2.2. 15 (88.23%) patients were unaware of the importance of proper denture cleaning and did not use the hygiene algorithm in full. 3 (17.76%) patients did not did not remove dentures at nights, all the patients did not have a special double-sided brush. Only 5 (29.41%) of the respondents used dental elixirs fro mouth rinsing on regular basis. The results have demonstrated the importance of regular adequate care of dentures and strict adhering to an individual hygiene algorithm in full in order to prevent the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity. The prevention is a key approach in the prophylaxis of side effects, which might be caused by dental appliances.

Full textAbstract:
Silent aspiration of oropharyngeal pathogenic organisms is a significant risk factor causing pneumonia in the elderly. We hypothesized that regular oral hygiene care will affect the presence of oropharyngeal bacteria. Professional cleaning of the oral cavity and/or the gargling of a disinfectant liquid solution was performed over a five-month period in three facilities for the dependent elderly. Total oropharyngeal bacteria, streptococci, staphylococci, Candida, Pseudomonas, and black-pigmented Bacteroides species were monitored. The levels of these oropharyngeal bacteria decreased or disappeared after weekly professional oral health care, i.e., cleaning of teeth, dentures, tongue, and oral mucous membrane by dental hygienists. After lunch, gargling with povidone iodine was shown to be less effective than professional oral care. These findings indicate that weekly professional mechanical cleaning of the oral cavity, rather than a daily chemical disinfection of the mouth, can be an important strategy to prevent aspiration pneumonia in the dependent elderly.

Full textAbstract:
During the first period of mixed dentition, when secondary dentition processes begin, children have a certain feeling of discomfort in their oral cavity, as well as pain during personal oral care procedures. This, in turn, causes gentler cleaning that contributes to dental deposits and development of caries.
Studies of oral cavity condition in children during the first period of mixed dentition have shown that level of hygiene in children with caries is always worse than in children without caries irrespectively of their age or sex. A better mouth hygiene index is observed in children aged between 7 and 9, which is explained by the improvement of manual skills in older children. Girls brush their teeth more properly, which is confirmed by a higher level of their oral hygiene compared to boys.

Background: Effective approaches to practice improvement require development of tailored interventions in collaboration with knowledge users. Objectives: To explore critical care nurses’ knowledge and adherence to best practice guidelines for management of patients with an artificial airway to minimise development of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken across four intensive care units that involved three phases: (1) survey of critical care nurses regarding their current practice; (2) observation of respiratory care delivery; and (3) chart audit. Key care processes evaluated were: (1) technique and adherence to standard precautions when performing endotracheal suction, cuff pressure checks and extubation; and (2) frequency of endotracheal suctioning and mouth care. Results: Observational and chart audit data on the provision and documentation of respiratory care were collected for 36 nurse/patient dyads. Forty-six nurses were surveyed and the majority responded that endotracheal suctioning and mouth care should be performed ‘as required’ or every 2 hours (h). During observations of practice, no patient received mouth care every 2 h, nor had documentation of such. Inconsistent adherence to standard precautions and hand hygiene during respiratory care provision was observed. Chart audit indicated that nurses varied in the frequency of suctioning consistent with documented clinical assessment findings. Conclusion: Although nurses had good knowledge for the management of artificial airways, this was not consistently translated into practice. Gaps were identified in relation to respiratory related infection prevention, the prevention of micro-aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions and in the provision of mouth care.

Stroke is the main trigger that can cause disability in adults. Stroke patients are known to be vulnerable to oral health problems, such as periodontal disease, due to limitations in their daily activities so that dental and oral hygiene management is neglected. These dental and oral health problems can become worse when patients are treated in a stroke unit. For this reason, dental and oral health care needs to be taken in stroke patients. The study aimed to develop a model of dental and oral health care among stroke patients. Research and Development (R&D), on five research stages, namely: information gathering, product/model design, expert validation and revision, product/model trials (using quasi-experiments with pretest and posttest with control group design). The sample was divided into two groups, the dental and oral health care model in stroke patients in the intervention group and the oral health care model No.284 year 2006 in the control group. Data were tested using normality, paired t-test, post hoc LSD, Mann Whitney, and linear regression. The model of dental and oral health care in stroke patients was relevant as dental and oral health care was shown to be p <0.001. The application of dental and oral health care models in stroke patients effectively improves the skills of gargling in moderate stroke patients p <0.001, increasing the ability to brush teeth in moderate stroke patients p <0.001. The application of dental and oral health care models in stroke patients is useful as an increase in the skills to rinse and brush teeth in moderate stroke patients

Oral sanitation - a set of measures aimed at curing diseases of the organs and tissues of the mouth, including the treatment of dental caries, its complications, non-carious lesions and professional hygiene or preparation of the mouth for further orthodontic and orthopedic treatment. Sanation of the mouth can be considered as an indicator of the quality of medical care, as it is a planned result of the treatment of the whole body. However, this indicator is not subject to accounting and analysis in private medical organizations, as a result of which statistical data on the true situation of dental disease and the effectiveness of treatment are unreliable. We conducted a study on the activities of four private dental organizations to achieve the effectiveness of treatment of patients. Evaluation of the scope and cost of work performed, complete rehabilitation of the mouth, carried out the certificate of completion. The collection of data on the structure of dental morbidity by turnover was studied by the medical records of the dental patient. The reason for the refusal to continue treatment before the rehabilitation of the mouth was studied by interviewing (telephone survey) of patients carried out by employees of private dental organizations (medical registrars). The activities of medical organizations, regardless of ownership, should include an in-depth analysis of statistical information, which is part of the management process in health care, ensuring the strengthening of public health and the effectiveness of the health system. Statistics reveal problems, priorities and challenges for the rational use of human, financial and logistical resources. In this regard, all offices of the organization must provide statistical data on their activities to the appropriate authorities and a range of socio-economic measures aimed at the final result of the dental Wellness of the population, strengthen the health and well-being of the person through the reorganization of the mouth.

Ayurveda being an ancient science of medicine places great emphasis on prevention of disease and encourages the maintenance of health. Now a day’s people are giving more importance to cosmetic care among that dental care plays an inevitable role. Dental care refers to maintenance of healthy teeth and oral hygiene. Good oral and dental hygiene can help to prevent bad breath, tooth decay and can help to keep your teeth as you get older. Your mouth can reflect the overall health of the body, showing signs of infection or disease before you experience other symptoms. Dentistry is included under Shalakya Tantra, which is one among the Ashtangas of Ayurveda. Different regimens which are explained under Dinacharya, various Ayurvedic drugs and Ayurvedic preparation can improve the Orodental health and existing damage can usually be repaired. Dantadhavana, Jivhanirlekha, Kavala, Gandusha, Pratisarana, Nasya and Tambulasevana are highly effective daily procedure for the maintenance of Orodental health. Diet is one of the major aetiological factors for many dental diseases and Ayurveda has explained Pathya Aharas for maintaining proper dental health. An Ayurvedic view of prevention of Orodental diseases through different regimens, Pathyapathyas and drugs are discussed in this article for giving the best possible Orodental health for the individual.

Oral mucositis is a debilitating manifestation in children undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Children with mucositis should be properly managed in order to prevent further exacerbation and adverse complications. We hereby present the first report of a severe chemotherapy-induced mucositis, plausibly aggravated by improper dental hygiene leading to shedding of the ventral part of the tongue in a child with pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The patient steadily and gradually recovered her oral maneuvers and ability to speak several months later. Her tongue underwent hypertrophy as a compensatory mechanism. We recommend that critical and regular assessment of the oral mucosa and proper dental care and oral hygiene be emphasized in all pediatric patients receiving chemotherapy. Families of affected children need to be educated about the benefits and modes of optimal oral hygiene for their children and the need to seek immediate care for mouth pain and or lesions. Optimal treatment for mucositis needs to be instituted without delay in this high risk pediatric population. Such a preventive and therapeutic approach may prevent associated life threatening oral and systemic complications, promote rapid and complete mucosal healing, alleviate pain and improve quality of life in children with cancer.

Full textAbstract:
The proposed study aims to verify the effectiveness of the developed device capable of recognizing and measuring halitosis. This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research that will use the experimental method for the purpose of creating and verifying the effectiveness of a device that recognizes volatile gases in halitosis. For the design of the device, through analysis of the main components present in these halimeters, the best way to build a halimeter was sought based on the Arduino, which is composed of a RISC Microcontroller, and uses C/C as a programming language. C++ and to capture the gases the MQ-135 sensor was selected. For testing purposes, it happened in a sample of institutionalized elderly residents in a city in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, composing the sample of 16 participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection took place through the control group in 3 (three phases), where, phase 1 application of the health condition questionnaire, phase 2 the handling of the device without proper mouth hygiene and in phase 3 the repetition of phase 2 however, participants performing proper mouth hygiene. The results reveal that 100% of the participants are female with a mean age of 73,125 years old, between 60 and 94 years old; 50% of the elderly women have dental calculus, 56.3% have visible biofilm and 93.8% have hygiene difficulties; as for the functioning of the device, it identified the good functioning with regard to the expected, with no failure during the applicability of the exam in any of the stages, evidencing the effectiveness of the device in measuring and assisting in the diagnosis of halitosis; 94% of the elderly women did not express complaints during the phase 2 examination and 87% in phase 3; stating that most n=14 of the elderly women indicated halitosis in phase 2 and in phase 3 only 5 indicated halitosis, effectively demonstrating that adequate hygiene and mouth care contributes to the absence of the pathological condition of bad breath and confirms the effectiveness of the device to which proposed. It was concluded that it was possible to attest in the sample of elderly women that halitosis is in fact an oral health problem present in this population and that it needs care and routine monitoring by their caregivers regarding the hygiene condition; as for the developed device, it was found to be efficient due to its characteristics, with no limitation, being able to be used as a diagnostic resource by dental professionals in different contexts.

BACKGROUND: Although oral hygiene is difficult to perform in orally intubated, critically ill patients, oropharyngeal status may be related to acquisition of nosocomial organisms and should therefore be addressed. OBJECTIVE: To develop a clinical tool for assessment of the mouth in orally intubated patients. METHODS: Sixteen orally intubated patients from one surgical and one medical intensive care unit were subjects. Demographic, clinical, and baseline oropharyngeal assessment data, including sputum and mouth cultures, were obtained on patient admission to the study and every other day. RESULTS: Oropharyngeal cultures of four subjects grew nosocomial bacterial organisms and of two subjects, fungal species. These same organisms were cultured from sputum specimens. Seven patients displayed severe xerostomia; 10 lip lesions were identified in nine subjects, 8 tongue lesions in nine subjects, and 8 mucosal lesions in nine subjects. CONCLUSION: Systemic oropharyngeal assessment in critically ill orally intubated patients may prevent more serious oropharyngeal infections.

Relevance. The incidence of oral mucosal diseases is nowadays increasing. Inflammatory periodontal diseases are common in dental practice and occupy second place worldwide among oral diseases.Purpose. The study aimed to analyze ‘Denta Balance’, an oral synbiotic complex, and ‘Lesnoy balsam’, a mouthwash, as home care products treating inflammatory periodontal diseases and halitosis.Material and methods. The study included 40 patients aged 18 to 28 y.o., of which 10 were males (25%) and 30 females (75%). They randomly formed two groups. The age in Group 1 was 23.0 ± 2.5 years and in Group 2 – 24.0 ± 3.2 years. In all patients, we assessed the Fedorov-Volodkina hygiene index and papilla bleeding index (PBI, Saxer & Mühlemann, 1975) before and after oral care product use. All patients formed two groups, 20 patients in each group. The fi group used a spray and powder for oral administration containing synbiotic complex; Group 2 used a natural-phytoncide mouthwash as an oral care product. Besides dental status assessment, we conducted a survey where we collected dental history. The main survey criteria were tooth sensitivity, halitosis, dry mouth, tenderness around the gums, bleeding on brushing, eating or spontaneous bleeding. We also asked the patients to assess the one-month effect of synbiotic-complex products and natural-phytoncide mouthwash.Results. The use of products showed a positive effect in both groups, i.e., tenderness around the gums, tooth sensitivity, and halitosis disappeared; bleeding on brushing and spontaneous bleeding significantly decreased; the gum colour returned to normal. The dental status index assessment confirmed the effectiveness of the treatment: the hygiene index insignificantly improved after the treatment; periodontal indices changed for the better.Conclusion. The study noticed a positive effect of Denta balance, a spray with a probiotic for bleeding gums, and Denta balance FRESHeffect, a probiotic for fresh breath, included in the protocol of inflammatory periodontal disease and halitosis treatment.

Objectives: Dialysis patients suffer from xerostomia based on hyposalivation even in stimulated saliva testing. Therefore, the aim of this study was (i) to evaluate an optimized oral hygiene system with an oral care gel reducing oral dryness, supporting dental plaque control and reducing the number of gingivitis affected teeth; (ii) to document the efficacy in a randomized controlled trial with dental indices; and (iii) to record the individual’s oral health related quality of life. Methods: After ethical approval (EC-UWH 103/2019), 44 dialysis patients provided signed informed consent and were divided into two groups followed up for four weeks. Subjects of the verum group (A) received daily oral care gel OROFAN® based on biopolymers with a mild antibacterial and saliva stimulating action. They were compared to the control group (B) who executed routine oral hygiene with conventional dentifrice and toothbrushes. At baseline (T0), the medical report and all dental indices (sialometry, DMF/S, plaque index, periodontal index, tongue coating and denture hygiene index) were assessed. After 2 weeks and 4 weeks, T1 and T2 dry mouth frequency and all dental indices were assessed. An Oral Health Impact Profile was documented at baseline (T0) and at the end of the study (T2). Results: Twenty-two subjects were allocated to group A and to group B. At baseline, there were no statistical differences concerning renal insufficiency (years on dialysis and complications), systemic diseases and dental background (caries experience, periodontal diseases, plaque index and number of gingivitis affected teeth). All subjects exhibited hyposalivation (<0.7–1.0 mL/min). The control group (B) showed no statistical differences from baseline (T0) to the end of the study (T2) in dry mouth parameters, in all dental plaque and inflammation indices and in their Oral Health Impact Profile. In contrast, the verum group (A) exhibited a highly significant (p < 0.001) decrease in xerostomia frequency, in the number of gingivitis affected teeth and in their plaque index. Furthermore, their Oral Health Impact Profile improved considerably (p < 0.01). Significance of Results: Terminally ill patients may gain better oral health and, consequently, an improved quality of life by rather simple oral care using long-lasting, edible anti-inflammatory oral hygiene gel and a dentist’s devotion.

Full textAbstract:
Poor oral hygiene leads to the accumulation of dental plaque, thus contributing to the initiation of periodontal disease (PD). Local infections can lead to systemic inflammatory responses, which are essential mediators for the evolution of systemic conditions or cancer tumorigenesis. Often, patients hospitalized with life-threatening and incapacitating disorders such as gastric cancer (GC) might lose interest in keeping their mouth healthy. This study evaluates oral hygiene, periodontal status, and the need for oral care and medical personnel to assist in achieving it in patients hospitalized with GC. This study was carried out on 25 patients with a diagnosis of GC, divided into two groups (GP—14 patients from the Gastroenterology Department, and SP—11 patients from the 1st Department of Surgery). Patients were examined on the day of admission (T0), the day of the medical procedure of endoscopy or surgery (T1), and the day of discharge (T2), recording the number of absent teeth, dental plaque (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depths (PPD), frequency of toothbrushing, and if the oral hygiene had been self-performed or assisted. Data were subjected to statistical analysis. Our results showed that, in both the GP and the SP group, there were strong and statistically significant correlations between PI and BOP measured on the last day of hospitalization and the period of hospitalization after the medical procedure. Longer hospital stays and the presence of surgery were risk factors for changing toothbrushing frequency. Results also highlight the need for a dentist to diagnose and eventually treat periodontal disease before and after hospitalization, and for a trained nurse who should help take care of the patient’s oral hygiene during hospitalization.

Full textAbstract:
Tongue tie otherwise called as Ankyloglossia is a developmental anomaly commonly characterized by a very short lingual frenulum that literally restricts the movements of tongue from the floor of mouth. An uncommon thick band extending beneath the ventral surface of tongue to floor of the mouth. This represents a uncommon length of the lingual frenulum. This causes problems in daily life of the person who was affected with the following difficulties of speech, deglutition, poor oral hygiene etc. This article reports a 19 year college going guy came to the department with the complaint of difficulty in speech and poor oral hygiene. The case was successfully treated with a soft tissue diode laser and followed up.
