Oral Orientation With App
The oral health educational method of this group comprised a total of 72 adolescents aged between 14 and 19 years who received standardized oral guidance performed by one of the previously trained researchers and included aspects of general and oral health and, in particular, of periodontal diseases. This intervention was carried out in a classroom, in a group with approximately 20 participants, providing an environment of discussions about the subjects covered. The duration was approximately 15 minutes. The participants also received an App for smartphone containing messages of reinforcement in oral health which was sent during a period of 30 days. Oral health educational methods: An educational protocol including different methods of education will be evaluated through the knowledge score and periodontal indexes.
Oral Orientation Without App
The oral health educational method of this group comprised a total of 79 adolescents aged between 14 and 19 years who received standardized oral guidance performed by one of the previously trained researchers and included aspects of general and oral health and, in particular, of periodontal diseases. This intervention was carried out in a classroom, in a group with approximately 20 participants, providing an environment of discussions about the subjects covered. The duration was approximately 15 minutes. In this group, participants did not receive the App for smartphone. Oral health educational methods: An educational protocol including different methods of education will be evaluated through the knowledge score and periodontal indexes.
Video With App
The oral health educational method of this group comprised a total of 68 adolescentes aged between 14 and 19 years who received oral health information through an audiovisual material produced especially to this research to offer a teaching medium capable of arousing the attention of its audience. The elaboration counted with the participation of three actors, two acting as adolescents and the third as a dental surgeon. The video had a total duration of 14 minutes. The participants also received an App for smartphone containing messages of reinforcement in oral health which was sent during a period of 30 days.
