Summary

Studies have shown that Swedish adolescents have poor oral hygiene and with high prevalence of gingivitis. Therefore, more effective preventive programs in dental care are needed. The project aims to examine whether a health application and follow-up person-centered digital meetings can serve as support in person-centered and theory-based behavioral interventions to promote and maintain positive oral health habits.

Conditions

  • Gingivitis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Person-centered, theory-based, intervention

The person-centered intervention is based on theory of health behavior and includes behavior change techniques (personal goal setting for oral hygiene and oral health, planning, and monitoring of behavior). The dental hygienists use a collaborative communication method inspired by motivational interviewing. This intervention is the most recommended treatment for behavior change in cases of unhealthy lifestyle habits according to the National Guidelines for Dental Care (The National Board of Health and Welfare, 2022). The initial intervention phase includes three visits: Visit 1 (Baseline) - face-to-face (approx. 60 min) Visit 2 (2-3 weeks after baseline) - face-to-face (approx. 40 min) Visit 3 (10-12 weeks after baseline) - digital (approx. 30 min) After 6 months, a follow-up is conducted (Visit 4 - face-to-face, approx. 40 min). Between 6 and 12 months (maintenance phase), one digital meeting is offered to support maintenance of new/positive oral hygiene habits.
