The main aim of this oral health intervention project is to compare the effect of providing 1) professional oral hygiene instruction alone versus 2) professional oral hygiene instruction plus adjunctive Chlorhexidine mouth rinse versus 3) professional oral hygiene instruction plus adjunctive assisted tooth brushing and Chlorhexidine mouth rinse, on the oral health condition, the general health condition and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with stroke who are receiving hospital-based rehabilitation. An additional aim is to assess potential longer term oral intervention-related health and HRQoL outcomes.
