Medico-economical Evaluation on Buccodental Teleexpertise in Nursing Home

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2019
Oral care in medical and social institutions is a real public health problem. The impact of poor oral health on the general state of residents but also on their overall quality of life is significant. The development of a precise regulatory framework for telemedicine in France aims to transform experiments into sustainable medical activities. Odontology often set aside in this reflection, must be reintegrated. The use of tele‐expertise for the oral care of nursing home residents should make it possible to replace oral health in medico‐social institutions. The investigators will assess in a cluster randomized controlled study whether the buccodental telemedicine has a viable economic model and a significant impact on the overall health of facility for dependent elderly persons residents. The medico‐economic impact of the buccodental telexpertise is fundamental for the development of this innovative activity.
