Popis: Abstract Background This RCT aimed to test the impact of an educational intervention, supported by a Personalized Oral Health Instruction Form (POIF), on oral health indices in institutionalized older adults. Methods Older adults aged 65 years and above living in a long-term care facility were recruited. Baseline oral health indices were recorded for all participants. Caregivers received training on oral health care in small groups. Custom-made software was used to create a POIF for each participant, which was then implemented alongside verbal instructions and the provision of an oral hygiene kit in the intervention group, whereas in the control group, the participants received verbal instructions and an oral hygiene kit only. After three weeks, a second examination was conducted by the same examiner, who was blinded to participants' group allocation. Plaque index (PI), denture cleanliness (DCI), and tongue coating (TCI) were recorded at baseline and after intervention. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), assessed at baseline and after intervention using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Wilcoxon signed rank tests were conducted with the level of significance set at P
