PLAQUE
Within the limitations of the present study, it was revealed that sex, age, and oral and geriatric health status had only a marginal influence on plaque removal on teeth and dentures of geriatric inpatients. However, it was demonstrated that IndOHCT has a positive effect on the competence of geriatric inpatients to remove plaque from teeth and dentures over a short-term observation period. Therefore, it is recommended to provide IndOHCT to geriatric inpatients during hospitalization.
