Brief Summary

Achievement of adequate oral hygiene standards is critical to the successful treatment of gum disease. The improvement of the patient's adherence to good oral hygiene is of great importance to obtain the satisfactory treatment outcomes. However, patients' adherence to a proper daily oral hygiene regimen generally remains poor. New electric artificial intelligence powered toothbrushes are able to precisely sense the location of the brushing being performed by the patient and transmit information to the clinician who is able to analyze the data and provide targeted instructions, if needed. This study evaluates whether a novel oral hygiene instruction regimen can provide some additional benefit for periodontal treatment compared with routine oral hygiene instructions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • changes in probing pocket depth (PPD)

    changes in probing pocket depth (PPD) after non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT)

    from baseline to 6 months

  • changes in proportion of periodontal pocket closure

    changes in proportion of periodontal pocket closure defined by probing pocket depth (PPD) ≤4mm without bleeding on probing (BOP) after non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT)

    from baseline to 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • changes in clinical attachment level (CAL)

    from baseline to 6 months

  • changes in bleeding on probing (BOP)

    from baseline to 6 months

  • changes in periodontal soft tissue volumes

    from baseline to 6 months

  • changes in oral biomarker concentration

    from baseline to 6 months

  • changes in proportion of periodontal pocket closure

    from baseline to 3 months

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Test group

EXPERIMENTAL

The test group will receive the novel regimen of oral hygiene instruction, including use of a commercially available intelligent toothbrush connected to the Chinese consumer version of an application and receiving targeted oral health message as well as use of interdental toothbrush

Other: oral hygiene instruction

Control group

OTHER

The test group will receive the standard regimen of oral hygiene instruction, including use of a commercially available manual toothbrush and receiving a brochure for oral hygiene instruction as well as use of interdental toothbrush

Other: oral hygiene instruction

Interventions

The treatment process is identical for both test and control groups except for the methods of oral hygiene instructions. In the control group, the participants will receive the following oral hygiene instructions at completion of debridement, at week-1 and week-3. In the test group, apart from the standard oral hygiene instructions at completion of debridement, at week-1 and week-3 , additional analysis of brushing data and provision of targeted brief interventions will be provided on a daily basis for the first week, 3 times/week until week 6 and once a week thereafter until 6 months after the debridement.
