The impact of hospitalization on periodontal health status: an observational study

“…This scenario is true for many hospitals 27-29 , both public 2-4 and private 3,8 , due to the scarcity of trained professionals able to get involved in promoting oral healthcare. The training of professionals is a successful practice for reducing infections acquired in hospitals, because they prevent the accumulation of bacterial biofilm and the development of periodontal diseases [26][27][28] .…”

“…People's attitude toward their oral health is influenced by their personal experiences, which in turn, drive their behavior and perceptions [1][2][3][4] . During hospitalization, patients often neglect themselves, feel discouraged and even become physically or mentally incapacitated, and this may adversely affect their performance of oral hygiene care [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] .…”

“…During hospitalization, patients often neglect themselves, feel discouraged and even become physically or mentally incapacitated, and this may adversely affect their performance of oral hygiene care [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Oral hygiene negligence facilitates the accumulation of microorganisms in the form of biofilm, the etiological agent of oral conditions such as caries and periodontal disease 8,[10][11][12][13][14] .…”

“…Hospital staff tend to neglect the oral hygiene of hospitalized patients, and concentrate their attention on the main reason for the hospitalization [2][3]8 . Studies evaluating the association between hospitalization and oral health have been conducted, mainly in Intensive Care Units (ICU) [6][7]9 .…”

A Saúde Bucal Em Pacientes De Uti

“…A manutenção da saúde bucal visa o tratamento global do paciente, visto que a cavidade bucal é a primeira porta de entrada para microrganismos patogênicos respiratórios que causam infecções sistêmicas. (16) A presença de biofilme interfere a partir de alterações bucais presentes no paciente, tais como cárie, doença periodontal, necrose pulpar, entre outros. Estas alterações repercutem tanto na terapêutica médica quanto no estado geral do paciente e devem ser controladas.…”
