Effects of Application of Oral Moisturizers on Microbiota Homeostasis in Long-Term Care Patients
Sponsor: Meiho University
Summary
The primary objective is to explore the differences in oral flora among healthy elderly individuals, those in a sub-healthy state, and those requiring long-term care. Furthermore, it will investigate whether different mental states, lifestyles, or dietary habits lead to variations in dominant oral flora. The study will also observe the degree of change in oral flora after intervention in oral hygiene care.
