The second aim is to investigate the usefulness and benefits of the aMMP-8 chair-side test and the Lumoral device in improving the oral hygiene of elderly people. In addition, the study will investigate the usability of Lumoral assessed by different care professionals to evaluate the need for oral care and plaque control procedures in elderly residents.', 'detailedDescription': 'The dental condition of elderly care customers is often poor. Cavities and dental connective tissue disease are widespread in people over 75 and older. Untreated oral infections in patients or residents living in institutional care predispose to pneumonia, among other complications. Chronic oral infectious diseases, and sometimes fatal complications, are preventable with good oral hygiene.\n\nAs people get older, their ability to function deteriorates, and the elderly, especially those living in round-the-clock care, have been found to have shortcomings in maintaining oral hygiene. Only a small part of the population had clean teeth, and the worse the level of oral hygiene, the worse the quality of life. Regular cleaning of the mouth and teeth from plaque is still the most important thing for keeping your mouth healthy. Unfortunately, this is not always the case with round-the-clock care, and new practices are needed to improve oral hygiene.\n\nThe use of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibacterial blue light has been studied and found to reduce the amount of plaque in the mouth. The Lumoral device is a CE-marked home medical device that has been shown to be effective in reducing the development of plaque and harmful bacteria in the plaque. The performance of the device is based on the aPDT method, in which the photosensitive substance in the Lumorinse mouthwash attaches to the bacterial coating and is activated as an antibacterial by light. The antibacterial effect is applied directly to the plaque, reducing the impact on the normal oral flora. Preliminary studies have found that the method reduces inflammatory factors in periodontitis.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* A 24-hour care resident;\n* Understand and able to give consent to the study;\n* At least 10 functional teeth in the mouth (including implants);\n* Able to brush teeth and follow the instruction for use Lumoral treatment, based on the assessment by the nursing staff.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Incapable of participating in the study based on the assessment of the nursing staff\n* Toothless or less than 10 functional teeth in the mouth (including implants)\n* Unwilling or unable to give consent'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05720104', 'briefTitle': 'Regular Antibacterial Photodynamic Therapy on Oral Hygiene in the Elderly 24-hour Care', 'organization': {'class': 'INDUSTRY', 'fullName': 'Koite Health Oy'}, 'officialTitle': 'Effect of Regular Antibacterial Photodynamic Therapy on Oral Hygiene in the Elderly 24-hour Care Residents', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'FlexKoi2022'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Study group', 'description': 'Use of Lumoral Treatment device.
