Participants received a structured oral health care intervention, and changes in oral hygiene and oral function were assessed over a 4-week follow-up period. The goal of this study was to explore whether a structured oral health care program could help improve oral health outcomes in older adults with dementia in a day care setting.","overall_status":"Completed","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"Shiou-fang Lu","enrollment":64,"countries":["Taiwan"],"start_date":"2023-07-20","completion_date":"2023-10-21","last_update_date":"2026-02-10","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07401693","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
