Providing Preventive Periodontal Treatment to Hospitalized Patients With Diabetes

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Almost 20% of all patients admitted to the hospital carry a diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetes and periodontal disease have a bi-directional relationship; people with diabetes are at higher risk of tooth loss and poor oral health may impact nutrition and inflammation. Even among those with access to medical treatment for their diabetes, access to dental care may be challenging. In spite of their higher oral health risk, diabetic adults are less likely than their peers to attend a dental visit annually. While oral hygiene measures for ventilator-dependent patients have become standard of care, the oral health of less critically ill hospitalized patients has been noted to decline over the course of their hospitalization and patients generally do not have access to dental treatment., However, invasive dental treatment (restorations, tooth extraction, and periodontal scaling) has been demonstrated to be safe even for critically ill hospitalized patients. The inpatient setting, where patients are already receiving services from multiple disciplines and patients do not need to travel to see a healthcare provider, presents a unique opportunity to make integrative oral healthcare services accessible to diabetic patients, and to increase oral health knowledge of those health professionals caring for patients on an inpatient medical ward.
This study will involve provision of dental prophylaxis ("tooth cleaning") as well as motivational interviewing focused on oral health care-seeking behaviors provided by a dental hygienist to patients with a diagnosis of Type II diabetes who are hospitalized on a medicine floor of Massachusetts General Hospital.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Dental Cleaning and MI Arm
Subjects in this arm will receive a dental cleaning by the hygienist as well as a motivational interviewing (MI) session to explore the subject's motivations to pursue oral health treatment.
|
This intervention will involve a discussion intended to explore subjects' motivations to pursue dental care and empower them to visit a dentist upon release from the hospital.
This procedure will involve the removal of plaque and supragingival and subgingival calculus from the surfaces of the teeth.
Other Names:
|
Experimental: MI only Arm
Subjects in this arm will not receive a dental cleaning but the hygienist will provide a motivational interviewing (MI) session to explore the subject's motivations to pursue oral health treatment.
|
This intervention will involve a discussion intended to explore subjects' motivations to pursue dental care and empower them to visit a dentist upon release from the hospital.
|
No Intervention: Control Arm
Subjects in this arm of the study will not receive any oral health intervention while hospitalized.
A medical record review will be completed, and patients will be contacted via telephone at 3, 6, and 12 months post-hospitalization to assess their oral health-related quality of life and oral health care-seeking behaviors.
