Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare the immediate effectiveness of 3D intra-oral scanners and standard oral hygiene instructions in improving the oral hygiene of 52 subjects. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Does a 3D intra-oral scanner facilitate the improvement of oral hygiene in subjects?
* Does a 3D-rendered image of plaque-stained teeth confer better visualization to subjects?

Prospective Open Cohort study: Patients referred to NUCOHS Periodontology Department will be invited to participate in the study. Included participants will be randomized into the 3D scanner (test) and standard oral hygiene (control) group. Subsequently, both groups will receive personalized oral hygiene instructions before brushing their teeth. The participants will receive plaque disclosing again to compare the differences between baseline and post-intervention.

Routine periodontal parameters will be recorded at baseline and researchers will compare the percentage improvement in full mouth plaque scores to see if the test group performed better than the control group.

A questionnaire will be given to subjects in the test and control group for qualitative analysis.

The study will require 1 visit.

Conditions

  • Periodontal Diseases
  • Plaque Induced Gingival Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

Test: 3D intra-oral scanner

3D intra-oral scanner will be used to scan the subjects after plaque staining is performed. Subsequently, a 3D rendered image will be produced. Participants will be given oral hygiene education and instruction before being instructed to brush. A cooling-off period of 30 minutes is given before participants are instructed to brush.

OTHER

Control: Standard oral hygiene

Standard oral hygiene instructions will be delivered using a hand mirror. No 3D intraoral scanner will be used.
