| Research Abstract |
A survey of care facilities for the elderly demonstrated that there is a discrepancy in the oral care regimen amongst facilities. In addition, a survey of the elderly residents in these facilities showed that opportunistic infections were found in the mouth of 46.0% of surveyed individuals. Candia infection was found most frequently, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia infection. Approximately 30% of individuals showed a decline in eating and swallowing function. Opportunistic infections were frequently found in individuals with complete dentures, and a decline in eating and swallowing function was found more frequently among those with a long period of stay and those who did not consider brushing of teeth important.
