Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the relationship among the cognitive function of the elderly with dementia in the nursing home and the oral health condition and pathogenic microorganisms in the mouth. Data was collected for a month in February 2019 for 30 people through a non-probable sampling method due to the special nature of dementia elderly people aged 70 years or older, living in nursing homes in Daegu. Technical statistics, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were analyzed using the SPSS window ver. 21.0 program. According to the study, the lower the rating of long - term care classification in nursing homes, the more the number of high-risk oral pathogens, and the more the number of existing permanent teeth, the more the number of microbes in the mouth. However, there was no significant difference in cognitive function. Therefore, it is suggested that oral health care, an elderly dementia people in nursing homes, should have different management methods depending on the oral environment, and also professional managers should be able to manage oral health condition for actual care.
