Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 With Periodontal Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Using Augmented Reality Dental Care Training in Health Education on Periodontal Status, Blood Sugar Control and Quality of Life in Patients With Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of an AR dental care training in health education on periodontal status, blood sugar control and quality of life in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. This randomized controlled trial included experimental group: AR group (EG-A), AR-health consulting group (EG-B) and control group (CG), respectively. The EG-A and EG-B received AR dental care training intervention 2 to 3 times during non-surgical periodontal treatment. Baseline and follow-up surveys were used to collect the data in periodontal index, blood sugar data, oral health knowledge, attitudes, behavior, oral health-related quality of life.
A randomized experimental design was used. Patients with type 2 diabetes whose aged 35-65 years and HbA1c over 7% in the past six months were recruited through department of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital. Each group was expected for 100 per group, patients will be randomized into each group. G*Power (version 3.1.9.4) was used for power analysis. All patients will underwent periodontal examination at baseline and at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1 year follow-ups. Each patients will be diagnosed periodontal disease by dentist and have more than 12 functional teeth. Each patients will completed the questionnaire at baseline and at 1-month, 3- month,6-month and 1 year follow-up. ;
