Abstract | The first objective of this study, concerning the intervention of a dentist in social and medico-social establishments (SMSE), was to diagnose the oral care needs of disabled people (DP). The second objective was to raise awareness of a prevention and follow-up protocol among caregiving staff. We carried out this descriptive cross-sectional study from October 2016 to October 2018, in twenty SMSEs in Essonne. It involved a cohort of 663 volunteer DP, i.e., over 81 percent of the DP accommodated in these establishments. We analyzed DP’s oral hygiene and health indicators, as well as changes in professional practices following simulation workshops, using Pearson’s Chi-square test and Cramer’s test to assess the existence of relationships between variables and their intensity, respectively. Of the 96 percent of DP who accepted a full screening, three-quarters had dental plaque and two-thirds had gingival inflammation, these pathologies being more frequent in the over-20s (p< 0.001 | Cramer’s V=0.26). Only 14 percent had good oral health. Six months later, seventeen SMSEs had recorded dental check-ups in their medical records, and eight SMSEs had introduced brushing after dinner and breakfast, compared with ten and seven respectively before the intervention. This study confirmed the need for SMSEs to carry out dental screening. The involvement of establishments in monitoring the oral hygiene of DP must be strengthened. |
