Conservative Management of Severe Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw With Pathological Fracture
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a well-known risk following dental extraction in patients taking certain medications. Pathological fracture secondary to MRONJ often requires complex operative intervention. This case demonstrates the conservative management of pathological fracture secondary to MRONJ in a patient with multiple comorbidities. The patient developed MRONJ with pathological fracture following extraction of the mandibular second molar. The patient presented with significant surgical risk factors, having hypertension and a recent stroke, causing dense left hemiparesis, subsequently resul...

A multi ‐centre randomised clinical trial of oral hygiene interventions following stroke—A 6‐month trial
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two oral health promotion (OHP) programmes to reduce dental plaque levels following stroke. A multi‐centre randomised clinical control trial was conducted among patients hospitalised following stroke in Malaysia. Patients were randomly allocated to two OHP groups: (i) control group who received the conventional method for plaque control—daily manual tooth brushing with a standardised commercial toothpaste, (ii) test group—who received an intense method for plaque control—daily powered tooth brushing with 1% Chlorhexidine gel. Oral health assessments were performed a...

A multi ‐centre randomized clinical trial of oral hygiene interventions following stroke – a 6‐months trial
ConclusionBoth, ‘Conventional’ and ‘Intense’ oral health promotion programmes may successfully reduce dental plaque during stroke rehabilitation and are of comparable effectiveness. Baseline dental plaque levels and functional dependency level were key factors associated with dental plaque levels at follow‐up at 6‐months.This article is protected by copyright.

A randomized clinical trial of oral hygiene care programmes during stroke rehabilitation
Conclusions Although both oral hygiene care programmes were effective in terms of plaque and gingival bleeding control, the AOHCP was more effective than the COHCP in reducing dental plaque and gingival bleeding. Clinical Significance This study highlighted the value of oral hygiene programmes within stroke outpatient rehabilitation and provides evidence to advocate for the inclusion of oral hygiene care programmes within stroke outpatient rehabilitation for patients with normal cognitive abilities.

Role of Oral Health in Dysphagic Stroke Recovery
AbstractPurposeOral health deteriorates easily in stroke patients, which may lead to aspiration pneumonia. The purpose of this review was to elucidate the importance of oral health in stroke recovery.Recent findings In the acute phase, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most serious respiratory complication and increases the mortality of stroke. Chemical cleaning with chlorhexidine along with mechanical oral care may decrease VAP risk. Maintaining oral health in stroke patients remains important in rehabilitation and nursing home settings. In the chronic phase, oral care performed by the individual is often inade...
