Core Tip This retrospective cohort study of 277 liver transplant recipients shows that a nurse-led comprehensive oral care protocol - including Oral Assessment Guide-based risk stratification, hydration support, family engagement, and targeted therapies - significantly reduces the incidence of oral complications, delays the onset of oral complications, and maintains better oral health vs routine care.
