About this study

Patients attending Dubai Dental Hospital and requiring nonsurgical periodontal therapy will be invited to take part in the study. Potential participants will be screened and selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria

The aims of the randomized controlled trial are:

Read more
  1. To compare the influence of AI-generated instructions versus traditional methods in improving the oral hygiene habits of patients diagnosed with periodontitis
  2. To assess the time and cost effectiveness of applying AI-generated oral hygiene instructions in daily practice
  3. To evaluate the level of patients' engagement, preference, and satisfaction with technology-based interactions vs. patient-doctor interaction

Research design

  • Prospective, in which participants will be recruited and then followed up throughout a specified period of time.
  • Randomized, parallel designed, concurrent controlled trial with participants randomly allocated to either control or test groups.

The study will involve two stages, 1) Digital Avatar creation and 2) Clinical component.

The participants will be randomly allocated to two equal sized groups (30 per group) using computer-generated numbers:

Control group (C): Standard oral hygiene instructions will be given verbally by the periodontics resident.

Test group (T): Avatar-based group will receive oral hygiene instructions from a digital avatar of their choice.

Being tested
Standard oral hygiene instructions will be given verbally by the periodontics resident, Avatar-based group will receive oral hygiene instructions from a digital avatar of their choice
Medical subject headings
Gingivitis, Periodontitis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard oral hygiene instructions will be given verbally by the periodontics resident and Avatar-based group will receive oral hygiene instructions from a digital avatar of their choice in people with Gingivitis and Periodontitis, run by Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Abeer Hakam (3053353797, abeer.hakam@dubaihealth.ae), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Plaque and bleeding score (time frame: At baseline and after 3 months). 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 2 Oct 2024.
