Research Abstract

We developed an exercise program menu from which older adults could choose three exercises and practice them to improve their oral function. Seventeen older adults expressed their informed consent to participate in the program. They consisted of 13 males and 4 females with an average age of 75.5±4.7 years old. We asked them to practice the program for two months, and we measured the effectiveness of the program afterwards.
The effects of tongue exercise, cheeks exercise and breathing exercise were not confirmed. By checking the teeth that the participants could not fully brush, it was found that the degree of remaining dental plaque was significantly decreased. The time required to swallow saliva was significantly shorter after practicing the program, as opposed to before.
These results suggest that the developed program helped decrease the degree of remaining dental plaque, and improved their swallowing function.
