Summary

This study tests three ways to clean the mouth of intensive care patients using a non-invasive breathing mask. Sixty adults will be randomly assigned to standard care, an electric toothbrush, or a manual toothbrush. The goal is to see which method best prevents mouth problems and keeps oral health in good shape.
