Role of Nurses in Enhancing Removable Dental Prostheses Hygiene.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nurses contribute significantly to the management and prevention of oral diseases by educating patients on correct removable dental prostheses (RDP) cleaning techniques. This article aimed to present the role of nurses in enhancing RDP hygiene and provide a practical guide for nurses.A thorough literature search was done regarding the role of nurses in enhancing RDP hygiene and providing a practical guide for nurses in Google Scholar and PubMed from 1984 until 2024. All the English-language papers were included in this article. Publications included original research papers, review articles, and book chapters. The articles included were reviewed and added to this report.Good oral hygiene is crucial in preventing infections, enhancing patient comfort, and reducing health risks like pneumonia or gum disease that can result from inadequate RDP care. Hospitals and healthcare providers are encouraged to prioritize RDP care protocols, offering training and ensuring access to necessary cleaning supplies to support nurses in their care. Nurses have an important role in supporting proper care for patients using removable dentures.Through best practices in RDP cleaning, correct storage, educating patients on how to care for their RDP, proper documentation, and follow-up, nurses can make a significant improvement in patient health outcomes.
