Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Later, three different blinded examiners (licensed dentists) will assess the intraoral photographs of the same group of participants. The participant's dentition will be examined using the scores developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for oral health surveys. Also, the examiners will perform a visual inspection of the oral mucosa for any signs of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), as the mortality of high-risk populations is proven to be reduced by visual oral cancer screening.
Finally, the residents who require treatment will be referred to Kasr EL Ainy dental hospital to receive dental treatments.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
During the same visit, a dental student will take the intraoral photographs in the aged care home. The photographs will include 5 views (upper occlusal, lower occlusal , frontal, right lateral and left lateral).
The photographs will be uploaded on one drive and later, three different blinded examiners (licensed dentists) will assess the intraoral photographs of the same group of participants. The participant's dentition will be examined using the scores developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for oral health surveys. Also, the examiners will perform a visual inspection of the oral mucosa for any signs of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), as the mortality of high-risk populations is proven to be reduced by visual oral cancer screening.
Finally, the residents who require treatment will be referred to Kasr EL Ainy dental hospital to receive dental treatments.
