Résumé
To describe the proportion of toothbrushing task steps, long-term care residents had an opportunity to complete; the duration and quality of toothbrushing by both residents and caregivers; and the feedback caregivers provided. Poor oral health is widespread among older adults in long-term care homes; however, little is known about their actual oral health practices. Secondary analysis of video recordings. A total of 58 video-recorded sessions were analysed from two long-term care homes in Canada. Eligible residents had at least one natural tooth, required oral care assistance, had Alzheimer's disease and understood English. Eligible caregivers spoke English and had worked for at least 1 year with people with dementia. Toothbrushing success was identified by the resident's participation in, and completion of, nine toothbrushing steps. Total time spent brushing teeth was calculated by summing the duration of time spent brushing teeth. Quality was described by time spent brushing the facial versus the lingual or occlusal surfaces. Caregiver verbal feedback was pulled from transcripts and analysed using content analysis. STROBE guidelines were used in reporting this study. The two step residents most frequently completed or attempted were brushing their teeth (77% complete, 7% attempt) and rinsing their mouth (86% complete, 2% attempt). The average time spent brushing teeth was 60.33 s (SD = 35.15). In 66% of observed videos, toothbrushing occurred only on the facial tooth surfaces, with no time spent brushing the lingual or occlusal surfaces. Caregivers are supporting residents to independently complete toothbrushing; however, the duration and quality of toothbrushing are not sufficient to ensure optimal oral health. Clear, detailed guidelines are required to ensure adequate oral care for long-term care residents. Staff need to be aware that all surfaces should be brushed to ensure proper oral health.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE
To describe the proportion of toothbrushing task steps, long-term care residents had an opportunity to complete; the duration and quality of toothbrushing by both residents and caregivers; and the feedback caregivers provided.
BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Poor oral health is widespread among older adults in long-term care homes; however, little is known about their actual oral health practices.
DESIGN
METHODS
Secondary analysis of video recordings.
METHODS
METHODS
A total of 58 video-recorded sessions were analysed from two long-term care homes in Canada. Eligible residents had at least one natural tooth, required oral care assistance, had Alzheimer's disease and understood English. Eligible caregivers spoke English and had worked for at least 1 year with people with dementia. Toothbrushing success was identified by the resident's participation in, and completion of, nine toothbrushing steps. Total time spent brushing teeth was calculated by summing the duration of time spent brushing teeth. Quality was described by time spent brushing the facial versus the lingual or occlusal surfaces. Caregiver verbal feedback was pulled from transcripts and analysed using content analysis. STROBE guidelines were used in reporting this study.
RESULTS
RESULTS
The two step residents most frequently completed or attempted were brushing their teeth (77% complete, 7% attempt) and rinsing their mouth (86% complete, 2% attempt). The average time spent brushing teeth was 60.33 s (SD = 35.15). In 66% of observed videos, toothbrushing occurred only on the facial tooth surfaces, with no time spent brushing the lingual or occlusal surfaces.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Caregivers are supporting residents to independently complete toothbrushing; however, the duration and quality of toothbrushing are not sufficient to ensure optimal oral health.
RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE
CONCLUSIONS
Clear, detailed guidelines are required to ensure adequate oral care for long-term care residents. Staff need to be aware that all surfaces should be brushed to ensure proper oral health.
