Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine the motivational effect of using a periodontal self-examination manual prior to a self-instructional manual in oral hygiene and to examine whether instruction provided at a later time than the scaling procedure improves the effect of the instruction. 74 patients with periodontal disease were divided into 3 groups: (1) A group of 23 patients who performed a self-examination of their periodontal condition prior to self-instruction in oral hygiene; (2) a control group of 27 patients who used only the self-instructional oral hygiene manual; and (3) a group of 24 patients who were not given the self-instructional oral hygiene manual before 6 weeks after the baseline examination. All these patients had their teeth scaled at the start of the study and after 3 and 7 months. The effect of the various modes of instruction was evaluated by assessments of plaque and gingival bleeding scores. These parameters were determined at the baseline and after 2 and 6 weeks and 3 and 7 months. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in plaque and gingival bleeding scores following the use of the self-instructional manual in oral hygiene. The use of the periodontal self-examination manual or a delay of the instruction had no additional effect on oral cleanliness. The level of oral hygiene and gingival health achieved at 3 months was maintained in all 3 groups for an additional period of 4 months. After that time, they were divided into 2 other groups depending on whether or not their plaque score was less than 20%. A total of 26 in the group who had a plaque score higher than 20% demonstrated a plaque score of than 20% after having performed the tooth brushing test. 10 of the remaining patients, who still had a plaque score of more than 20% after the tooth brushing test, received additional instruction in oral hygiene which subsequently resulted in improved oral cleanliness after 6 months.

  • A written self-instructional manual of OHI compared to regular OHI or personalized OHI did not show significant improvement in periodontal outcomes at 6 months.

    “Glavind et al. reported similar findings in two RCTs with a 6-month follow-up when a written self-instructional manual of OHI was compared to regular OHI as a control group [84] as well as a group in which personalized OHI was provided [82].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
