Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility of oral screenings and identify factors leading to poor oral health in pALS.
Conducted oral health screenings during routine multidisciplinary visits.
Identified instances of periodontal disease among the participants.
Identified periodontal disease in pALS through screenings.
Demonstrated the feasibility of integrating oral screenings into routine care.

Implication

Screenings reveal periodontal disease in pALS, suggesting potential improvements in oral health outcomes.

Abstract

Oral health screenings conducted during routine multidisciplinary visits identified periodontal disease in pALS, representing a feasible and immediately actionable pathway to improve oral care outcomes in pALS.
