Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess oral health and oral status of elderly patients newly admitted to a nursing home from admission until death.
Oral health, oral status, need for dental care, cooperation with dental treatment, and given dental care were assessed by two geriatric dentists in all new long-stay patients (
At admission, dementia patients were significantly older than somatic patients; median [IQR] ages were, respectively, 85 [79–89] and 81 [76–87] (
When compared to edentulous elderly patients, patients with remaining teeth were younger at admittance, were more often non-cooperative, and had a poorer oral health and higher need for dental care.
It is important that health care workers ensure adequate oral health and dental care to frail elderly, especially for elderly with remaining teeth.

In 2020, about 40% of the population in the northern part of the Netherlands, the region where this study was performed, will be over 65 years of age (CBS 2011) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. Recently, this area was identified as having optimal circumstances for research into healthy aging [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. The number of people over 80 years in this area will increase to approximately 10% of the population during the next three decades.</p><p id="Par7">When elderly become care-dependent, their oral health usually becomes worse and gets less attention [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. Oral health is neglected partly because care-dependent elderly need care on many levels, and this interferes with their activities of daily living such as food intake, drug intake, getting dressed, bathing, general health care, and physiotherapy. As a result, less time is reserved for activities that are commonly considered less important by elderly, including oral care [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. The lack of attention for oral care is a hidden health hazard as dental awareness and oral health are thought to be essential for general health and quality of life [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. A decline in the number and quality of natural teeth, a phenomenon that is quite common among elderly, can cause malnutrition, pain, and severe functional and esthetic problems, which in turn have a strong effect on oral health-related quality of life [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>] and daily activities [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. Dental and periodontal diseases are also significantly associated with occurrence and disease activity of diabetes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>], cardiovascular disease [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>], atherosclerosis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>], rheumatoid arthritis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>], kidney function [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>], pneumonia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>], multiple sclerosis, and other systemic immune problems [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. Furthermore, cognitive impairment and accumulation of amyloid plaques was shown to be more prevalent in persons with chewing difficulties [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>] and poor oral health [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>]. The impact of oral health on general health is probably even more severe in institutionalized elderly; this group is known to have higher levels of <italic>Candida</italic> species and <italic>Staphylococci</italic> in their oral environment, leading to a high risk of opportunistic infections [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>].</p><p id="Par8">Due to this increasing need for dental services for elderly, research is needed to accurately characterize the oral health status and needs of the growing number of homebound and institutionalized elderly [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. Several cross-sectional studies have reported on the oral health status of indwelling elderly [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>], but data on oral health status at admission and the specific problems and needs that occur during their stay in a nursing home are sparsely reported in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the oral health and oral status of long-stay elderly newly admitted to a nursing home, from admission until death or until they left the nursing home. The focus was on the specific needs of elderly with remaining teeth compared to edentulous elderly and their cooperation with dental treatment.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Patients and methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Participants</title><p id="Par9">All new elderly, 65 years and older referred to the long-stay somatic or dementia departments of two regional operating large nursing homes in the north of the Netherlands between January 2009 and December 2013 were scheduled for a standardized dental screening within 6 weeks after admission. Standardized dental screening was care as usual in both nursing homes and was performed according to the guidelines for oral care for elderly in nursing homes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. For all patients/residents in Dutch nursing homes, the costs for dental screening and dental care are provided by the national health insurance. Demographics, oral health status, the need for dental care, mortality, and cooperation of the elderly patients for dental treatment were scored. All patients were followed until December 31, 2014 unless they deceased before. Verbal consent was obtained from either the subject or their legal representatives. The ethics review board of the University Medical Center Groningen provided a waiver that this is not an experimental study with tests subjects as stated in the Medical Research Involving Human Subject Act as the dental screening and oral care was part of the care as usual (Letter M13.133088).</p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Data collection</title><p id="Par10">Standardized dental screening, as described above, was performed by ARH and AV, both geriatric dentists. These dentists have worked together for over 15 years, and were very experienced in performing oral examinations in geriatric patients. All patients were seen for a first dental screening within the first 6 weeks after admittance to the nursing home according to the guidelines of oral care for nursing homes in the Netherlands [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. Verbal consent for this screening was obtained from all patients. In case dementia patients could not agree themselves as a result of their cognitive impairment, consent of the family of the patients helped out to let the dentist inspect the mouth as oral care is considered to be a part of routine daily care. As a result, all patients were screened. The first dental screening was performed in the patient’s own room in the nursing home as most residents were very immobile or severely cognitive impaired. Basic dental instruments were used like mirrors and if appropriate dental probes in combination with professional bright flashlights. In case elderly had remaining teeth, a second thoroughly dental screening was performed in the dental office of the nursing home if possible.</p><p id="Par11">Besides demographic characteristics of the patients, the following items were scored and noted on a standardized intake form during the dental screening:<list list-type="bullet"><list-item><p id="Par12">Presence or absence of natural teeth.

The latter group included patients with or without full dentures and patients with overdentures attached to dental implants.

For example, dental treatment was not always possible and desirable due to severe health problems, poor mobility, and personal wishes. Only rather simple treatments were performed such as recall, cleansing, extractions, dental restorations and relining, and rebasing or renewal of dentures, but no complex prosthodontics were used such as fixed partial dentures (crown and bridgework). The number of consultations and the given dental treatment (in minutes) were scored from date of admission until the resident died or left the nursing home.</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec7"><title>Statistical analysis</title><p id="Par31">Baseline characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

With respect to the specific needs of elderly with remaining teeth, oral health and oral hygiene of these patients were usually very poor and their need for oral care was high. In this respect, it is important to note that patients with remaining teeth, often patients that are in need for dental treatment, are less cooperative for dental treatment when compared to edentulous patients.</p><p id="Par43">The proportion of elderly with remaining teeth in our patient cohort was rather small when compared to edentulous elderly, which may be related to the rather high age of admission of patients to the nursing home. The number of patients with remaining teeth will probably increase during the next decades as the percentage of elderly with remaining teeth is rapidly growing. Currently, over the age of 75 years, edentulous patients are still in the far majority in the northern part of the Netherlands [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>], while in the 65–75-year-old elderly, the number of edentulous patients is rapidly declining when compared with elderly of 65–75 in earlier years [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. This foreseen increase in number of elderly with remaining teeth will have significant impact on the dental needs of institutionalized elderly. The organization of oral care in nursing homes is therefore in high need of optimization as many of the institutionalized elderly are not able to take care for their teeth themselves and their dental awareness is low.</p><p id="Par44">According to the literature, oral health of elderly is often poor [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>]. Most of these data were retrieved from studies looking at cohorts of elderly patients living in nursery or elderly homes for many years. Moreover, these studies claim that oral health is becoming poor when elderly are nursed in the nursing home due to the lack of oral self-care and the neglect and shortage of time among caregivers to provide their residents with the oral care they need [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>]. We addressed the level of oral care and oral health at admission to the nursing home and showed that oral health as well as oral care was already poor in most of the cases when admitted to the nursing home. The cross-sectional study of Gerritsen et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>] described the oral health of all indwelling residents residing in a nursing home at a certain moment, thus irrespective of how long these elderly already lived in that nursing home. By contrast, we reported the oral health status of all newly admitted residents that were admitted to the studied nursing homes during a period of 5 years. We also showed, as mentioned before, that many of these elderly patients are not very cooperative with oral care. We hypothesize that this poor oral health at admission may be due in part to the fact that subjects who become care-dependent commonly stay in their own homes with the aid of day care nurses visiting their homes as long as possible. Moreover, most of these subjects are not able anymore to visit a dentist due to transportation or mobility problems and have often impaired skills to clean their dentition or dentures in a proper way. In other words, mobility problems are probably strong factors promoting dental decline, while elderly themselves are often not aware of these, usually rather slowly progressing, changes in their lives, reflected in, among others a worse oral hygiene and declining dental treatment by missing regular dental checkups due to general health problems. In this respect, it is important to note that most home care nurses are untrained in providing oral hygiene care [30]. The same counts for nurses in nursing homes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>]. In addition, multi-drug treatment, which is quite common in elderly, is often accompanied by xerostomia and reduced salivary flow. This impairs the self-cleansing of the mouth and promotes dental decay [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>].</p><p id="Par45">Improved awareness of the poor oral health status of the elderly should be an urgent priority among care providers. When elderly start becoming care-dependent, care workers should already keep an eye on their dental status and ensure that life-proof dental care is given to these elderly, either by themselves or by actively asking support from dental professionals. In other words, there is an increasing need for geriatricians to become aware of the health hazard of poor oral health and for dentists to have training in geriatrics [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>]. If oral health care providers and geriatricians do not take the responsibility of persuading society of the importance of adequate oral health, weakened oral health of community-dwelling older people will become a new geriatric syndrome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>].</p><p id="Par46">Patients with remaining teeth were far more often non-cooperative and agitated than patients without remaining teeth. They were often difficult to treat, even in experienced hands. Patients with dementia can be very agitated and otherwise difficult to treat. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>]. Such patients can be in pain but are often not able to communicate that they are in pain, resulting in non-cooperative behavior in daily, medical and oral care. In our clinic, behavior of patients, appointed by nursing staff, often improved after treating possible pain complaints, which is in agreement with the findings of Husebo et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>], who showed that pain was related to agitation. In addition, patients are often also in very poor general condition; almost one third of the patients died during the first year of admittance. This poor general health makes dental treatment even more complex or sometimes impossible as these patients are already in a very poor health or mental condition at admittance.</p></sec><sec id="Sec14"><title>Conclusions</title><p id="Par47">When compared to edentulous elderly patients, patients with remaining teeth were on average younger at admittance, were more often non-cooperative, and had a poorer oral health and higher need for dental care.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>We kindly thank the Stichting Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Tandheelkunde (Dutch Dental Journal) for providing us with an unrestricted grant to study the dental needs in indwelling elderly.
