Oral Hygiene Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of Smart-phone App in Improving Oral-Health Knowledge & Practices Among School Going Adolescents: A Randomized Control Trial
This study would be a first step towards mobile-health associated Sustainable Development Goals by World Health Organization, as there are no mobile-health driven oral health activities in Karachi, Pakistan. Concurrently, it will help in improving knowledge and practices of adolescents towards general dental hygiene as this age is crucial for the prognosis of newly erupted permanent teeth. This would help in preventing chronic problems of adulthood. This will also help in reducing the number of days missed from school, increasing self-confidence of individuals as bad breath has a negative impact on one's self-esteem and confidence, giving a positive sense of aesthetics and will also keep in check over-all body health.Persistent unmaintained dental hygiene also overburdens families due to its high-maintenance outcomes like caries and early tooth loss. Dental treatment is considered as fourth most expensive treatment in developing countries . According to recent studies, households of low and middle income countries are at a higher risk of falling below the poverty line due to expenditure on dental problems. Such a simple intervention making use of modern-day technology would enable adolescents to keep their oral health in check and would prevent them from facing consequences of poor oral health.
