Summary

Proper plaque control is essential for to maintain oral and general health therefore, improving patient motivation is crucial for to prevent oral diseases including periodontal diseases. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of periodontal health education session (PHES) including the pathogenesis and consequences of periodontal diseases on oral hygiene motivation in patients with gingivitis.

Detailed description

A randomized controlled clinical trial design with 50 subjects (26 Females and 24 males) was carried out in a group of gingivitis patients who underwent periodontal treatment. Subjects were randomly allocated into PHES group (test, n = 25) and standard oral hygiene education group (OHE) (control, n=25). Test group received information about the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, its consequences, its interaction with systemic diseases and the importance of daily proper cleaning by experienced periodontologist via brochure. Control group received only standard oral hygiene instructions. The Rustogi Modified Navy Plaque index (RMNPI) and papillary bleeding index (PBI) were utilized to evaluate the oral hygiene at baseline and repeated at 1, 3 and 6 months follow-up. The clinical outcome variables of RMNPI (primary outcome) and PBI (secondary outcome) scores were analysed with Mann Whitney U test. Friedman-Wilcoxon sign ranked test was used for within group comparison. All data were analysed using the Statistical software (SPSS, version 19.0, Chicago, IL, USA). A p-value of \<0.05 was accepted as statistical significance.
