Relationship between Oral Care and Systemic Health
• Well- established relationship between oral care and
prevention of pneumonia in patients on ventilators (El-Rabbany, et
al. , 2015; Shi et al, 2013)
• Well- established relationship oral care and prevention of
pneumonia in long term care (El-Solh, 2011)
• Less well-established relationship between oral care and
pneumonia in non-ventilated patients in acute care (Kaneoka et
al., 2015)

Dental Plaque in Acute Care
• Plaque index of 1.85 (scale of 0-3) in acute care versus 0.65 in
long-term care (Danckert, Ryan, Plummer & Williams, 2016)
• 91% of patients admitted to acute care had unmet oral needs
(Konradsen, Trosborg, Christensen & Pederson, 2012)
• Plaque increases during hospitalization and is associated with
increased incidence of nosocomial infection (Sachdev, et al, 2013 ;
Fourrier et al., 1998)
Nursing and Dental Hygiene
• The two professions do not routinely practice in the
same space
• Nurses have seen oral assessment and oral care as of
medium level importance (comfort measure) for nonventilator ICU patients (Lin, et al, 2011)
• Schools of Nursing have not taught an extensive oral
assessment (Buehner & Kwapis-Jaeger, 2014)
Method (this in not in “real time” so the patients were discharged by the end
of the assignment and this was not a research study)
37 teams (37 dental hygiene students and 87 nursing
students – at two universities)
• Nursing students, in teams of two or
three, completed oral assessments
for one of their assigned patients in
acute care
Smiles for Life and
Overcoming Obstacles For
Oral Health
• Nursing students used an ISBAR format
to communicate the written oral
assessment, patient-centered oral
care data and current oral care
treatment plan to dental hygiene
students
• Dental hygiene students responded
with additional questions, and
recommendations
• A final oral care plan (with supporting
evidence) was agreed upon by the team
– this included the plan for in acute care
and teaching at discharge.
• All teams completed a written debrief to
assess learning related to oral care and
teamwork.
What went well
What could have been done differently
(Consider communication, role definition, plan of care,
documentation and leadership)

Summary: Agree on the two most
important "take-aways" from the
experience in terms of:
Oral Care
Teamwork/communication
Results
The most commonly identified learned elements
related to oral care were:
1. The overall interaction between oral health and
systemic health
2. Dry mouth and the influence on oral health and
systemic health
3. Specific diseases (especially diabetes) and
relationship to oral health
Results
The most commonly identified learning elements
related to teamwork/communications were:
1. Importance of clear and concise written
communication
2. Benefit of teamwork to quality of patient care
3. Importance of timely communication (this
referred to method of communication)
Observations- Faculty Debrief
• The method of communication is important
Students were allowed to select
They were given university email addresses and told they
could use phone, skype, or Google Docs but that we
needed a transcript of the communication – so most
selected email
• Reviewing all 37 papers and recommendations as well
as the interaction transcripts for role and evidence
and communication used a great deal of faculty
resources.
• Communications were mostly respectful and
encouraging to each other (especially dental hygiene
to nursing). Roles/practice environments were not
always clear (dental hygiene students did not realize
the nursing students could not just take pictures and
send them).
