Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de las orientaciones de higiene, conservación y uso de prótesis completas (PT) en un grupo de personas mayores institucionalizadas. Métodos: Treinta personas mayores fueron evaluadas antes (T0) y después de 2 meses (T1) de las orientaciones de higiene, mediante un cuestionario que contenía 26 preguntas agrupadas en 5 dominios: (1) datos sociodemográficos; (2) frecuencia de visita al dentista, tiempo de uso, profesional que confeccionó y malestar/incomodidad con el uso de la prótesis; (3) higiene bucal; (4) higiene de la prótesis; y (5) conservación y uso de la prótesis. Resultados: La edad promedio fue de 71,4±7,4. La mayoría de los participantes fueron de género femenino (n=25; 83,3%), jubilados (n=26; 86,6%) e ingresos de hasta 1 salario (n=16; 53,3%). Se observaron cambios significativos en el conocimiento y/o comportamiento después de las orientaciones de higiene, conservación y uso, especialmente en relación a la frecuencia de higiene bucal (p=0,016) y de la prótesis (p=0,008), el método de higiene bucal (p=0,011) y de la prótesis (p=0,003), la solución de inmersión (p=0,002) y el almacenamiento de la prótesis para dormir (p=0,001). Conclusión: Las orientaciones fueron efectivas en el cambio de conocimiento y/o comportamiento de las personas mayores, en relación a la correcta higiene bucal y de la prótesis, así como en los mejores métodos de conservación y uso de la PT.
