Patients in nursing homes often have many natural teeth with exposed root surfaces,
bifurcations, a complexity of dental restorations like partial prostheses, bridges/crowns,
fillings and implants. In addition they have a limited physical ability, like reduced
muscular strength, rigidness in the neck and spine. All these factors contribute to make it
difficult, both for themselves and their nursing staff to maintain good oral hygiene.

also been reports from nursing homes that approves of electrical toothbrushes as a helpful
aid among the nursing staff.
