Study on Reinstruction and Remotivation in Nursing Homes Reveals Impact on Oral Health and Cost-effectiveness

Posted: December 13, 2024
A cost-effectiveness-analysis was conducted in German nursing homes to evaluate the impact of reinstruction and remotivation of nursing staff by dental assistants over 13 months.

Dental service utilization increased, but cost-effectiveness acceptability was lower. The study highlights the importance of assessing the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of dental interventions in nursing home settings.
