Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence-generated WhatsApp reminders on improving oral hygiene practices among individuals aged 20-40 years visiting the periodontal clinic at El-Qasr El-Ainy Dental Hospital. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive health education followed by AI-generated WhatsApp reminders over a 3-month period or to a control group receiving health education only. The primary outcome is the presence of white spot lesions, assessed using the modified Gorelick White Spot Lesion (WSL) index. Secondary outcomes include the presence of dental plaque, measured by the Plaque Index (PI). This study seeks to determine whether AI-generated reminders can enhance oral hygiene adherence compared to standard health education alone.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Health education followed by AI-generated Whatsapp reminders

Participants will receive dental health education in a one to one personal session followed by Text messages generated by AI large language model (ChatGPT free version) about oral hygiene practices for three month in a tapering frequency. These messages will be designed based on Fogg's Behavior Model, focusing on enhancing motivation, ability, and providing clear triggers for action.
