The Effects Of Power Toothbrushing On C-Reactive Protein Levels In Nursing Home Residents: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

This essay examines the effects of power toothbrushing on C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in nursing home residents through a randomized controlled trial. CRP is a marker of inflammation and has been linked to various health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The study aimed to investigate whether power toothbrushing could reduce CRP levels in nursing home residents, who are often at a higher risk of oral health issues and inflammation due to their age and limited mobility.
