[Cross-sectional study assessing the oral status of oncogeriatric patients using the Ohat score].

Abstract

Oral hygiene is essential for a healthy quality of life. The main aim of the study carried out in oncogeriatrics at Amiens University Hospital was to test the Oral Health Assessment Tool (Ohat) score as a means of assessing patients' oral health status, in order to optimize referral criteria for odontological care. Significant correlations were found between the Ohat score and the frailty scales specific to geriatric assessment.
