Gingival inflammation is common and can often be reversed with effective daily oral hygiene. However, preventive care is not always delivered consistently in dental practices, and patients may not receive sufficient individualized training in oral self care and follow-up support. This study will evaluate whether a structured preventive care workflow, called iMGi (individualized management of gingival inflammation), can be implemented consistently in routine dental practice. Approximately 100 adults with plaque-related gingival inflammation will participate across multiple clinical centres. All participants will receive structured preventive care, including assessment of gingival health, individualized oral self-care training, professional preventive care, and follow-up appointments over approximately 10 months. The main aim is to understand whether the workflow is practical for dental professionals to deliver, acceptable to patients and practitioners, and consistently applied across different clinical settings. The researchers will also collect information on gingival bleeding, oral hygiene, patient experiences, and oral self-care behaviour to explore changes during the study. The findings may help improve how preventive oral healthcare is organized and delivered in everyday dental practice.

Participant Completion of the iMGi Workflow
Proportion of enrolled participants who complete the full structured preventive care workflow, including the scheduled visits from baseline (T0) through the final follow-up (T5). Calculated as the number of participants completing the workflow divided by the total number of enrolled participants, expressed as a percentage.
From baseline (T0) to final follow-up (T5), approximately 10 months
Adherence to Predefined iMGi Workflow Steps
Proportion of study visits during which all predefined steps of the structured iMGi preventive care workflow are performed as planned. Calculated as the number of visits with complete adherence to the predefined workflow steps divided by the total number of evaluable visits, expressed as a percentage.
Across study visits from T0 through T5, approximately 10 months
Participants receive routine preventive dental care delivered according to the structured iMGi workflow for plaque-related gingival inflammation. The workflow integrates clinical assessment, BOB Index evaluation, individualized oral self-care training, plaque disclosure, professional mechanical plaque removal, structured follow-up planning, and digital patient support. All participants follow the same workflow, with assessments from baseline (T0) through T5 over approximately 10 months.
A structured preventive care workflow integrating established clinical procedures with individualized oral self-care training and longitudinal follow-up. The workflow includes assessment of gingival health, BOB Index evaluation with calibrated interdental brushes, individualized patient training, plaque disclosure, professional mechanical plaque removal, follow-up planning, and digital support. It is designed to facilitate consistent delivery of preventive care in routine dental practice and does not introduce a new therapeutic procedure.
