Abstract

The project focuses on investigating and improving the level of knowledge about the care and maintenance of dental prostheses in patients of the León Rúales nursing home in Ibarra-Ecuador.

Its objective was to increase awareness among the elderly housed in this center about the consequences of poor hygiene in dental prostheses, in order to promote the oral and general health of this population.

To achieve this, surveys and structured interviews will be conducted with nursing home residents who use dentures, collecting quantitative data on their current knowledge of dental hygiene and the potential repercussions of inadequate hygiene.

The potential disinterest of some residents in particular is identified as a risk, for which motivation strategies will be implemented as incentives.
