Control
NO INTERVENTIONDental appointment, one hour and included activities that are normally part of a SPT (Suportive Periodontal Treatment) consultation, as well as specific behavior change techniques, such as the use of reinforcement, goal-setting and feedback considered crucial to the accomplishment of long term behavior change. Moreover, special attention was given to patient communication and words such as 'cleaning' and 'hygiene' were replaced by therapeutic synonyms (e.g. inflamed areas and controlling the inflammation) in order to focus patients´ attention on the varied facets of oral health care and increase their perception of the treatment needs. In this group, the device SOPROCARE® by Acteon and Text Messages were not used.
