简要总结
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of a digital oral health education program on the oral health status and quality of life for geriatric populations compared to standard oral health education in Egypt.
详细描述
The principal investigator will carry out all educational programs.
For both interventions:
- Informed consent from elderly participating.
- Baseline records plaque index(Appendix : silness and loe), WHO questionnaire (Appendix : oral health survey) and GOHAI (Appendix : Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index).
- Allocation (The outcome will be immediately recorded and sealed in a numbered, opaque envelope corresponding to the cluster. These envelopes will only be opened after the cluster has been enrolled in the study, thus preventing any fore knowledge of the allocation and reducing the risk of selection bias).
- Examination will be performed to assess the inclusion criteria.
All geriatric institution will then be allocated into either one of the groups alternatively depending on the educational program used as follows:
Group I (Experimental group); elderly participant will receive digital educational oral health program.

结局指标
主要结局

时间窗: Assessed at baseline and after 6 months
It measures the thickness of dental plaque at the gingival area by using dental mirror and pen light then score ranging from to per tooth surface. 0= absence of microbial plaque 1. thin film of microbial plaque along the free gingival margin 2. moderate accumulation with plaque in sulcus 3. large amount of plaque in sulcus or pocket along with free gingival margin
次要结局
- General oral health status (WHO oral health assessment form for adult, 2013)(Assessed at baseline and after 6 months)
