Summary

This study looked at 30 caregivers of Alzheimer's patients in Cairo to see if their knowledge, attitudes, and practices about oral care relate to the patients' dental health. Researchers used a questionnaire for caregivers and a dental exam for patients. The goal is to understand how better caregiver support might improve oral hygiene in Alzheimer's care.
