Results showed that the OHPP led to a reduction in plaque index, improved oral health-related quality of life, and enhanced oral health knowledge in the intervention group. Additionally, changes in the oral microbiota were observed, indicating the impact of the program on microbial diversity. The study emphasizes the importance of good oral health in managing diabetes and highlights the significant role of OHPP in enhancing oral health outcomes in elderly diabetic patients.
