IKAP Care Model Boosts Oral Health in Elderly with Periodontitis

Posted: September 5, 2025
A study evaluated the impact of the IKAP care model on health promotion in older adults with periodontitis. 131 patients aged 60+ were divided into IKAP care and conventional care groups. While initial results showed no significant differences, the IKAP group demonstrated superior improvements in periodontal health at the 6-month follow-up. Patients in the IKAP group also exhibited sustained behavioral changes and enhanced oral health self-efficacy. The study suggests that the IKAP care model effectively promotes oral health and improves quality of life in elderly periodontitis patients, offering valuable insights for clinical practice in geriatric oral health management.
