Arpin S - Available results from RCT provide evidence that mechanical oral hygiene decreases mortality risk from pneumonia and seems to have a clinically relevant preventive effect on nonfatal pneumonia in independent elderly individuals. The data show that providing mechanical oral hygiene may prevent approximately 1 in 10 cases of death from pneumonia in dependent elderly people and indicate a largely similar effect for prevention of pneumonia.
