Changing Oral Health Trajectories: A 10-Year Cross-Sectional Comparison of 2 Domiciliary Dental Care Patient Groups in Nursing Homes

Since 2010, Gerodent has been a comprehensive oral health care program including biannual domiciliary dental care in nursing homes in Flanders, Belgium. Previous research revealed poor oral health among nursing home residents attending the mobile clinic. The objective of this study was to evaluate potential changes in the oral health needs of patients receiving domiciliary dental care, thus providing insights for future cohorts.
