Brief Summary: Recent studies have found that poor oral hygiene may foster the colonization of the oropharynx by potential respiratory pathogens in mechanically-ventilated MV intensive care unit ICU patients Thus improvements in oral hygiene in MV-ICU patients may prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia VAP

The specific aims of this investigation are 1 to organize the necessary infrastructure to develop and perform a pilot clinical trial to evaluate alternative oral hygiene procedures to prevent VAP 2 to use this organization to perform a pilot clinical trial to determine if the use of oral topical chlorhexidine gluconate CHX will prevent dental plaque oropharyngeal colonization by respiratory pathogens and VAP in MV-ICU patients

This pilot study will enable this multidisciplinary team of investigators to organize the infrastructure patient recruitment and methodologic protocols and data management and analysis procedures necessary to perform a multi-center controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy and generalizability of this intervention to improve oral hygiene in MV-ICU and prevent VAP
