Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the influence of providing visual feedback on brushing technique and habits on oral health of patients undergoing periodontal treatment.

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Is patients' oral health improved by providing visual feedback on their brushing technique using the smartphone brushing app?
* Is there behavioural change of patients based on this daily visual feedback? Participants will receive oral hygiene instructions after initial periodontal treatment and will be randomized in group 1, 2 or 3. Participants will be asked to

* fulfill a brushing diary with the time of brushing every day.
* come back for a check-up appointment every 3 weeks during the study to evaluate oral hygiene.

Researchers will compare manual toothbrush, electric toothbrush without daily personal feedback and electric toothbrush with daily personal feedback to see if visual feedback provide improved oral health
