About this study
Official title: the Effectiveness of AI Molar Mind for Smoking Cessation Through Dental Health Evaluation: Randomized Control Trial
Smoking cessation remains a significant public health challenge, with millions of individuals struggling to quit despite available interventions.
Read the detailed description
Oral health deterioration is a well-documented consequence of smoking, including periodontal disease, tooth discoloration, and oral cancer. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the development of AI Molar Mind, a digital tool designed to assess oral health and provide personalized feedback to motivate behavioral change. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of AI Molar Mind in aiding smoking cessation by leveraging oral health evaluations as a motivational tool.
