Objective: To collect information on the usage of nonspeech oral motor exercises (NSOMEs) by speech and language therapists (SLTs) for treating speech sound disorders (SSDs) in children in the Republic of Ireland. Method: SLTs who had worked with children with SSDs were invited to complete an online questionnaire adapted from a previous survey conducted in the US by Lof and Watson (2008). Main results:: 22/39 (56%) of the respondents reported using NSOMEs. Information from a colleague about the usefulness of NSOMEs, continuing education, and literature influenced the respondents the most to use NSOMEs. Most respondents used NSOMEs as a “warm up”, mainly with children with childhood apraxia of speech, dysarthria, and Down Syndrome. Conclusion: NSOMEs are used by over half of the respondents despite the lack of evidence that supports this treatment approach. Continuous effort to encourage the application of evidence-based practice in clinics is warranted.

Abstract Aim For achieving healthy aging, frailty prevention is essential. Because it is reported that accumulated declines in multiple oral functions (i.e. oral frailty) could lead to frailty progression, detailed countermeasures for oral frailty are currently required. However, dentists of community dental clinics don’t even know a prevalence of oral frailty among outpatients. Thus, we aimed to identify the prevalence of oral frailty and to examine the association with frailty in outpatients at community dental clinics. Methods The subjects were elderly outpatients at dental clinics in Kanagawa, Japan. Frailty was assessed using the Kihon checklists (KCL); those with ≥8 KCL score were classified as frailty. Furthermore, multiple functions (physical, nutrition, and oral) were assessed using subscale of the KCL. Oral frailty was defined as ≥3 deteriorations out of 5 oral status (remaining teeth, chewing ability, articulatory oral motor skill, subjective difficulties in eating and swallowing). Results Of 1,699 outpatients (mean age, 75 ± 6.3 years old; 40% men), 12% were frailty and 21% were oral frailty. When adjusted by confounding factors such as age and sex, those with oral frailty were associated with higher prevalence of frailty (OR, 3.25; 95%CI, 2.34-4.53), decreased physical and oral functions (OR, 1.53; 95%CI, 1.07-2.16: OR, 8.14; 95%CI, 6.05-10.95, respectively). Conclusions Oral frailty was associated with multi-faceted frailty in outpatients at community dental clinics. In addition to the importance of maintenance of whole oral functions including treating teeth, our findings suggest that it is also indispensable to consider the multi-faceted frailty for elderly patients.
