Filter by:Few educational oral health applications, directed to the preschool children under the age of six years are available world-wide. The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the acceptance and efficacy of a digital application in improving evidence based oral hygiene knowledge among parents of young children to control Early Childhood Caries (ECC). This study is split into two parts, the first one is aimed to understand the acceptance, usability and parental perception about a digital application being used to promote the evidence based oral hygiene knowledge among parents of young children to control ECC. In a second phase (randomised clinical trial) the additional effect and acceptance of the digital application, and efficacy in improving parental knowledge, behaviour and self-reported practices/attitudes related to the oral health preventive measures will be presented.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the family and behavioral theory based mobile-health behavioral intervention in enhancing adolescents'good oral health behaviors (mainly oral hygiene practice and free sugar intake control) and preventing common oral diseases (dental caries and periodontal diseases).
- Randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on the effects of an oral probiotic intervention with or without a novel ADP-1 toothpaste Objective - Determine the safety and effectiveness of oral probiotic intervention with or without a novel toothpaste and compare with placebo
Inclusion criteria for study I and II is nurse aides, registered nurses and managers working in nursing homes who register in Senior Alert. To develop an intervention aiming to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers, malnutrition, poor oral health and falls among older persons in nursing homes, workshops will be conducted in collaboration with nurse aides, registered nurses and managers (study I). Cluster randomization is going to take place via a computerized program prior to the workshops meaning that only those nurse aides, registered nurses and managers working in nursing homes allocated to the intervention group are going to develop an intervention together with the research group and then test it (study II). The remaining nurse aides, registered nurses and managers working in nursing homes in the control group continue with regular care.
The study aims to develop and externally validate a prediction model for the critical outcomes of COVID-19 patients using predictors which can be easily obtained in clinical practice, including patients' demographic characteristics, self-reported medical conditions, and oral health.
This was a randomized controlled trial to assess how an education program based on health belief model (HBM) may affect oral health status in the elementary school going children. For this, a convenient sample including 112 school going children aged between 6-12 years old were recruited and randomized into intervention or control groups. Education program consisted five weekly session each lasted for 1 hour approximately. Based on the main constructs of the HBM, each session was organized and a combination of educational methods were used in the intervention group while the control group only received the routine program provided by the dental clinic. Measures such as papillary bleeding index; decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) and a scale based on the HBM were used for data collection. Three months after the intervention the measures were administered again and comparisons between baseline and follow-up were done.
In the present study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of community-based oral exercise with LHA intervention on the oral health-related quality of life, oral function and oral self-care behaviors. This randomized controlled trial included LHA group (EG) and leaflet group (CG), respectively. The EG received a four-week one-on-one session by an LHA. Baseline and follow-up data collection were used to collect the data in oral Self-care behaviors, oral hygiene, oral function and quality of life.
1. Compare the effects of gargling with green tea on the oral health of stroke patients? 2. Compare whether gargling with green tea can reduce halitosis in stroke patients? 3. Compare whether gargling with green tea can reduce plaque index in stroke patients?
The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to compare PROMs in patients receiving single tooth replacement in posterior sites by s-CAIS and CIS.
Oral health is the one of the commonest causes of health problems in the world, with almost all individuals suffering from reduced oral health at some stage over their life span. As such, oral health is a major public health issue and a major consumer of health spending. Poor oral health results in pain, infection, structural degradation, functional restrictions in chewing, swallowing and speech, change in facial appearance, social stigma, altered body image, and reduced capacity to participate in social events, amongst others. Global problems of human functioning, disability, health and environment in turn affect oral status in many complex ways (for example, ability to maintain oral hygiene, nutritional restrictions, neuromotor incapacity, dysphagia, ability to access and cooperate with treatment, etc). Disability arises from a social environment that fails to enable everyone to access it regardless of his or her impairment. Disabilities are thus socially created and not dependent on the individual's type or location of impairment. There is currently very limited qualitative research exploring perceptions of the mouth, or oral health within a social environment, from the perspective of disabled adults. No universal, holistic, comprehensive tool exists to describe oral health, the functional impact of oral health, and the environmental factors influencing oral health within the biopsychosocial model. It has been suggested that a framework for such an instrument may be supplied by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF: World Health Organisation, 2001) This research seeks to address these gaps by describing perceptions of the mouth from the perspective of adults with disabilities and complex health conditions, and by linking this qualitative data to the ICF in order to assess the feasibility of using the ICF to conceptualise oral health. Adults with disabilities and complex health conditions were chosen for this ICF core set preliminary study as existing literature suggests that these respondents would accumulate not only a high level of oral health need but also experience high impact of functioning and environment on oral health.
