As ther are no teeth, the need for bristle action is gone, there are no nooks or crevices, Hence the need for brushing teeth is lost. Said that there are still plenty of places food can get accumulated and can cause irritation of the gums. So regular mouth rising and tongue cleaning is necessary.
Next Steps
So, if the person doesn't have teeth set done that should be fabricated. It can be removable, which the patient removes every night. Or fixed with the support if dental implants. Once these prosthesis come. they have to be regularly maintained by brushing and rinsing.
Health Tips
No matter what food is consumed, mouth rinsing after food will prevent deterioration of dental issues, weather you have teeth or no

Your doubt is good but understand there is no replacement for mechanical cleaning...
Brush and paste are made with the purpose of enhancing mechanical scrub action and create foam which will further clean and make you feel fresh...
So if some one is not having any teeth... first point is get dentures or implants done asap as they will improve Chewing and further reduce stress on stomach and intestine of overwork ( digestion )
So better use your fingure and any paste or powder to massage n scrub and clean entire mouth like palate, gums, lips, cheek area and most IMP tongue...
I hope this clears your doubt
