Summary
Tooth decay has become an increasingly significant health-related problem especially among highly dependent elders in nursing homes. There is no established program for the prevention of decay among this disadvantaged population. This study will test the efficacy of various new approaches for preventing decay among these elders. The expected benefits will be that tooth decay, even in highly dependent elders in nursing homes, can be prevented and their oral health will be much improved.
