Methods: Research and development (R&D) with a quasiexperimental method of pre-test and post-test with control group design. The research subjects were divided into 2 groups, namely 16 intervention groups and 16 control groups. The research instrument used a questionnaire and an observation sheet, with DI as the variable. The statistical test used the Intraclass correlation coefficient for expert validation, and the dependent variable used the Man Whitney, Wilcosxon, Paired and Independent sample test. Result : Dental and oral health care for elderly with dementia is relevant in lowering the Debris Index score (p=<0.001) compared to the control group. Conclusion: The development of a model of dental and oral health care for the elderly with dementia is feasible and its application is effective for the implementation of oral hygiene in the elderly compared to the control group.
