Summary

This study compares three oral care routines in 90 adults aged 60+ who have gum disease and mild cognitive impairment. One group uses a special light device plus a manual toothbrush, another uses a powered toothbrush, and the control group uses a soft manual toothbrush. The goal is to see which method best reduces plaque, gum bleeding, deep gum pockets, and bad breath over six months.
