Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed an oral care program for the purpose of the oral hygiene and function maintenance for the acute stroke patients. We used the OAG to evaluate the oral condition of stroke patients over a 14-day period from the acute phase and found no significant change in their oral condition. In addition, the oral environment was evaluated based on the moisture content of the oral mucosa. As a result, it was revealed that the moisture content increased around the sixth day and the seventh day when viewed over time in 14 days. The present results using the OAG assessment showed no significant difference in the oral condition between the acute and subacute stroke patients.
