Detailed Description:
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different oral hygiene instruction methods on oral hygiene behavior in older adults Secondly we intended to assess the self-perception of oral health changes with each instruction method
This study was a clinical trial that included a convenience sample of 60 participants attending a university dental hospital Egas Moniz Dental Clinic Almada Portugal
Data were collected in two phases The first phase baseline consisted of three parts a questionnaire focusing on the participants socioeconomic data and oral hygiene behaviors clinical records obtained through an intraoral examination using the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified OHI-S and oral hygiene instruction
