“…A study examining the difference between oral care with chlorhexidine vs. oral care with an electric toothbrush and chlorhexidine identified no reduction of VAP. 22 The study was limited by a small sample size, however, and no measures of overall oral health were obtained.

“…A higiene bucal insatisfatória é um achado característico nos pacientes internados nas UTIs (21,34,39,68), principalmente devido dificuldades de manejo, adaptação e experiência profissional em atuar em um sistema rodeado por vários aparelhos que dificultam a atividade habitual do cirurgião-dentista e equipe, determinando o aumento significativo do biofilme dentário e saburra lingual (reservatórios microbianos gram negativos) (79)(80)(81)(82)(83).…”
