“…Four of the twelve excluded studies did not provide quantitative data of the outcome of interest MacEntee et al, 2007;Simons et al, 2000;Sjogren et al, 2010). Four studies (Frenkel et al, 2002;Gammack and Pulisetty, 2009;Khanagar et al, 2014;Reed et al, 2006) did not evaluate the oral health of the elderly. Two articles described the effects of an educational program on oral health provided to the elderly, not to the caregivers (Little et al, 1997;Persson et al, 1998) and two articles were review articles (Watt and Marinho 2005;Stein and Henry, 2009).…”

“…Various oral health education programs have been presented to nursing personnel with anticipation that patients may benefit from caregivers' improved expertise in personal hygiene procedures. Many studies evaluated the effectiveness of the educational program on the improvement of knowledge, attitude, and perception of caregivers (Khanagar et al, 2014;Paulsson et al, 1998;Reed et al, 2006). These programs produced conflicting conclusions regarding oral health, level of knowledge, benefits over time (Brand et al, 2013;Sjogren et al, 2010), and attitudes toward dental issues of elderly (Isaksson et al, 2000;Kullberg et al, 2009;Reed et al, 2006;Simons et al, 2000).…”
