NCT05941468

Brief Summary

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.

Study Arms (3)

AR group (EG-A)

EXPERIMENTAL

Behavioral: AR intervention For the EG-A, the AR dental care training system will give to patients that 2 to 3 times tooth clean skill learning course (including Bass method of brushing and inter-dental toothbrush brushing technique) during non-surgical periodontal treatment period.

Device: AR Dental Care Training System

AR-health consulting group (EG-B)

EXPERIMENTAL

Behavioral: AR intervention For the EG-B, the AR dental care training system will give to patients that 2 to 3 times tooth clean skill learning course (including Bass method of brushing and inter-dental toothbrush brushing technique) during non-surgical periodontal treatment period. The health counseling will also provide professional oral health related courses (including oral care for diabetes and periodontal disease, etc.)

Device: AR Dental Care Training System

Control group (CG)

NO INTERVENTION

the control group(CG) only have standard oral hygiene education

Interventions

AR dental care training system is the first training system used in tooth clean skill learning (including Bass method of brushing and inter-dental toothbrush brushing technique) the world, it has been used to training elementary school children and dental hygiene student. And we are the first study to use this system to learn oral cleaning skill in hospital for patient with T2DM.
