3 Oral health care planning for people with degenerative conditions Due to progressive condition- Emphasis on rigorous preventive regimes Comprehensive restorative treatment Maintenance of the natural dentition Avoid the problematic management of dentures in later stages.
4 Oral Care Plan The lynch pin is to develop a written oral care plan, with involvement of the individual, family/and/or carer, which facilitates communication between the patient, carers and the dental team and helps to ensure that all involved in the individual s care are aware of her/his needs.

41 Patient centred oral care plan The flexible patientcentred approach is especially appropriate when planning care for individuals who have degenerative disease How much treatment can they cope with physically and psychologicallyretain well-being. Good days/bad days/time of day Realistic Which of their oral problems are they most concerned about getting treated? Enables an individual to have inclusion and involvement in the decisions made about their oral care needs and how they are met.
42 Patient centred oral care plan Treatment and aftercare may need to be modified to accommodate the patient s condition and living situation How well can their oral health be maintained? Who is able to give help with daily oral healthcare? Restore key teeth Skills and facilities required to manage delivery of care eg Diaco/hoist/ Sed/GA
43 Patient centred oral care plan High quality but low maintenance treatment should be the aim. There is no point in completing an ambitious course of restorative care if there is no adequate level of daily oral healthcare to maintain it.
44 Functionally dependent older people have higher rates of tooth loss, greater prevalence of denture related problems, greater prevalence and severity of caries, higher prevalence of periodontal disease and less likely to have seen a dentist for 5 years Henry 1995
45 Special Oral Care Aspirating toothbrush, Kimberley Clark
46 Shared care People with disabilities vary in their views on the type of service they want. Whilst some prefer to use mainstream services, others want more specialised services.
47 Shared care Shared care between general dental practice and a special care service General dental practice offers advantages that Include: Continuity of care Opportunity to access mainstream service Wider choice of service providers-incl. hygienists/therapists Attend the dentist with the rest of the family
48 Shared care More convenient location than a specialist centre is likely to have If some items of management or treatment are complex, then the support of a special care service may be necessary Facilities for sedation and general anaesthesia, or access to these services are essential, for some people with degenerative conditions Access to Domiciliary care is also essential

55 MULTIDISCIPLINARY
56 Aims of the Clinic There is strong evidence that providing patients and carers with information about their condition has a positive effect on physical, psychological and social outcomes National service framework Long term Conditions!. Knowledge/understanding! Anxiety! Decision making/patient involvement! Patient professional partnership! Communication with the family (May 2003)
57 MULTIDISCIPLINARY The medical consultant sees people by appointment and other services work more informally. Other professionals include a dietician, speech and language therapist, specialist nurse, occupational therapist, psychologist, genetic counsellor and an oral health promoter who is available for advice and to help facilitate access to oral health care.
58 With the input from patients of the service and their families/carers, the oral health promoter and her team have developed an information leaflet specifically for people with Huntingtdon s disease and their carers MULTIDISCIPLINARY
59 MULTIDISCIPLINARY Many of these patients have received preventive oral health advice with the aim of establishing good habits early on in the disease process. They have also been supported with accessing oral healthcare and have been able to close the loop by providing feedback to the oral health team at follow up clinics.
