Despite the importance of regular dental visits, older adults attend dental services less frequently, facing several barriers. This study aimed to evaluate whether a low\u2010threshold dental screening could increase the likelihood that older adults (\u2265\u200965\u2009years) contact a dental professional.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 194 community\u2010dwelling adults aged \u2265\u200965\u2009years without a dental check\u2010up in the past 12\u2009months were randomized (1:1) in a two\u2010arm, single\u2010blinded, controlled superiority trial. The intervention group received an oral screening, personalized oral health information, referral letters for a dentist and general practitioner, and a list of nearby dentists. The control group received only general oral hygiene flyers and a list of nearby dentists. The primary outcome was whether participants contacted a dental professional within 4\u2009months following the intervention. Oral hygiene practices (i.e., tooth brushing frequency and use of brushing materials) were evaluated as secondary outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      No evidence for an effect of the intervention on contact with a dental professional was found (risk difference\u2009=\u2009\u22120.01 (95% CI: \u22120.12; 0.10)). Within 4\u2009months, 14% of control group participants and 12% of those in the intervention group reported contacting a dental professional, mostly due to urgent issues (e.g., pain or broken teeth), rather than the intervention itself. Among those who did not seek care (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009133), 79% cited a lack of perceived need.
