About this study

Official title: Using Augmented Reality Dental Care Training in Health Education on Periodontal Status, Blood Sugar Control and Quality of Life in Patients With Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes

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.

Read the detailed description

A randomized experimental design was used. Patients with type 2 diabetes whose aged 35-65 years and HbA1c over 7% in the past six months were recruited through department of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital.

Each group was expected for 100 per group, patients will be randomized into each group. G*Power (version 3.1.9.4) was used for power analysis.

All patients will underwent periodontal examination at baseline and at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1 year follow-ups.

Each patients will be diagnosed periodontal disease by dentist and have more than 12 functional teeth.

Each patients will completed the questionnaire at baseline and at 1-month, 3- month,6-month and 1 year follow-up.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AR Dental Care Training SystemDevice

    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.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AR Dental Care Training System in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 With Periodontal Disease, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gingival index (GI) (time frame: Change from Baseline GI at 1-month after intervention). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2023.
