Oral health promotion in patients with chronic renal failure admitted in the Intensive Care Unit

Abstract: Key Clinical MessageOral hygiene deficiency is common in patients treated in ICUs and it enables biofilm colonization by microorganisms that lead to respiratory infections. A 30‐year‐old female patient with chronic renal failure was hospitalized. Dental procedures were performed in the ICU and contributed to the patient's health after a few days.

“…These individuals often remain open-mouthed due to orotracheal intubation, which leads to oral mucosa dehydration. Thus, the possibility of tongue biofilm increases, favoring the production of volatile sulfur components, including mercaptans and sulfhydryls, which have an unpleasant Damascena 4,5 . Furthermore, the poor oral health status of critical patients produces signs and symptoms such as periodontitis, gingivitis, otitis, chronic nasopharyngitis and xerostomia, which enhance infection outbreaks favorable to nosocomial pneumonia [4][5][6] .…”

“…The normal condition of the oral cavity in most of this study's patients may be explained by the fact that during the data collection period, the ICU team at the Clementino Fraga Hospital included a dental surgeon who routinely performed inpatient oral hygiene using 0.12% chlorhexidine solution. The inclusion of such a healthcare professional within the hospital setting improves the oral health care of inpatients 5 and may promote increased oral health quality among these individuals. Furthermore, 0.12% chlorhexidine is a compound that is used for chemical biofilm control, and it reduces oral pathogen colonization 5,19 .…”
