Impact of Video-Based Versus Model-Based Oral Hygiene Instruction on Clinical Parameters and Disease Awareness in Gingivitis Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating video-based oral hygiene instruction and Model-based oral hygiene instruction for Plaque-Induced Gingivitis. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of two different oral hygiene instruction methods given in addition to Phase 1 periodontal treatment in patients diagnosed with gingivitis, on periodontal clinical parameters and patient awareness scores, and to examine the relationship between the change in awareness score and clinical improvement. The main question it aims to answer is: Is video-based visual oral hygiene training as memorable and motivating as hands-on training using a model? A total of 80 patients who were diagnosed with gingivitis were included in the study. The oral health of the patients was assessed by a researcher using periodontal indices, and patients were asked to complete a 10-question questionnaire to assess their own periodontal health and oral hygiene status (T0). Following baseline measurements, all patients received standard Phase 1 periodontal treatment by another clinician. At the end of treatment, patients were randomly assigned to two different oral hygiene instruction (OHI) groups of 40 each: Group 1 (Video Group): Oral hygiene instruction in this group was provided through standard video content; Group 2 (Model Group): Oral hygiene instruction was given through practical demonstration using three-dimensional dental models. Patients were called for a follow-up appointment one month after the Phase 1 periodontal treatment (T1). All initial clinical indices were measured and recorded, and patients were asked to complete the same awareness questionnaire again.

Interventions
Following standard Phase 1 periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing), patients in this group received standardized oral hygiene instruction via a video presentation. The video demonstrated proper tooth brushing and interdental cleaning techniques. A link to the video was also provided to the patients for at-home reinforcement.
Following standard Phase 1 periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing), patients in this group received practical oral hygiene instruction demonstrated on a 3D dental model by the researcher. The demonstration included proper tooth brushing and interdental cleaning techniques.
