title: Portable dental kit for nursing homes.
abstract: With the increased dentulism in older adults, more patients living in long term care facilities will be requiring dental care. A portable kit is presented here that allows a care-giver to provide limited interim treatment prior to the availability of definitive care by a dental practitioner. Included are some aids for improving the patient's ability to perform oral maintenance.
