About
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that adversely influences the supporting tissues of the teeth. It is primarily characterized by the accumulation of bacterial plaque and the host immune response. Traditional periodontal therapy emphasizes the central roles of both oral hygiene education and risk factor management; however, maintaining a long-term optimal behavioral compliance remains challenging.
The purpose of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to assess how effective is Medical Coaching on Oral Health (MCOH) in improving plaque control (PCR) and gingival health (GBI) in patients with periodontitis after one month, in comparison to traditional oral hygiene instructions (OHI).
Full description
The baseline assessments included periodontal status, PCR, GBI (describe the achronym) and a systematic questionnaire on lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, food, exercise, sleep, and stress). The intervention group received tailored MCOH sessions that comprised goal-setting, emotional hurdle assessment and action planning, whereas the control group received conventional OHI.
