Oral healthcare education of future nursing personnel and auxiliary nurses
ConclusionAlmost all of the high schools had mandatory education in oral care in the auxiliary nurse programme. Increasing the number of lessons may improve the quality of knowledge, but the teaching programmes for a number of topics seem insufficient. There is a need to strengthen the position of oral health in the education of auxiliary nurses. To meet the future challenges in oral health, international or national expert‐developed guidelines for oral care training programmes would be useful for the education of auxiliary nurses.

Use of Candida‐specific chicken egg yolk antibodies to inhibit the adhering of Candida to denture base materials: prevention of denture stomatitis
ConclusionsThis study revealed the inhibitory effects of anti‐C.a.IgY and anti‐C.g.IgY against the adherence of C. albicans and C. glabrata to denture base material. This finding indicates the possibility of a beneficial effect of IgYs for the prevention of denture stomatitis and candidiasis in clinical settings. (Source: Gerodontology)
