简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of an oral care program on the oral hygiene for residents in long-term care facility.
详细描述
The study adopts a randomized clinical trial design and utilizes a cross-over design. The main outcomes include assessments of oral health (Oral Health Assessment Tool, Oral Health Impact Profile, Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index), tongue coating cleanliness (Tongue Coating Index), dental plaque and gum cleanliness (Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Gingival Bleeding Index), and swallowing ability (Eating Assessment Tool, Function Oral Intake Scale, International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative).

结局指标
主要结局
Tongue Coating Index
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The Tongue Coating Index assesses tongue cleanliness. The score ranges is 0 to 18. A higher core indicates lower cleanliness of the tongue.
Gingival Index
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The Gingival Index assesses gingival health. The score ranges is 0 to 3. A higher score indicates poorer gingival health.
Function Oral lntake Scale
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The Functional Oral Intake Scale assesses swallowing ability. The score ranges is 1 to 7. A higher score indicates greater swallowing ability.
Oral Health Impact Profile
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The Oral Health Impact Profile assesses the quality of oral health-related life. The score ranges is 0 to 56. A higher score indicates poorer oral health-related quality of life.
Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index evaluates oral health for older people. The score ranges is 12 to 60. A higher score indicates better oral health.
Plaque Index
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
Plaque Index assesses amount of dental plaque. The score ranges is 0 to 3. A higher score indicates lower amount of dental plaque.
Oral Health Assessment Tool
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The Oral Health Assessment Tool is a scale for evaluating oral health. The score ranges is 0 to 16. A higher score indicates a poorer oral health condition.
Eating Assessment Tool
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The Eating Assessment Tool evaluates the degree of swallowing status. The score ranges is 0 to 40. A higher score indicates lower swallowing ability.
International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative assesses swallowing ability. The score ranges is 0 to 7. A higher score indicates greater swallowing ability.
Gingival Bleeding Index
时间窗: Baseline to 4 weeks
The Gingival Bleeding Index assesses gingival health. The score ranges is 0 to 1. A higher score indicates poorer gingival health.
