Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential additive effect of Motivational Interviewing (MI) on gingival health and self-care. Our hypothesis was that the Motivational Interviewing would result in improved gingival health and self-care compared to prevailing patient education.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is designed as a randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial of 6-month duration involving patients with diagnosed periodontitis. The subjects are randomized to intervention or control group using the randomizing list.

For both groups, necessary non-surgical periodontal treatments will be done. In the intervention group The MI-intervention is used as a part of normal dental hygienist appointment and if patient need more than one visit, MI was used in every visit.

In control group prevailing, more professional-centered education is used. Dental hygienist define patients educational needs and give direct instructions how to change behaviour and self-care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Motivational interview

The MI-intervention is used as a part of normal dental hygienist appointment. Dental hygienists are trained to focus on patients view of their oral health, self-care skills and need for oral-health related behaviour change. They are supposed to use open-ended questions, reflective listening and reinforcing with patients. Dental hygienist support patients in decision making although patients were addressed as an active agent.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In intervention group dental hygienists are trained to focus on patients view of their oral health, self-care skills and need for oral-health related behaviour change. They are supposed to use open-ended questions, reflective listening and reinforcing with patients.

In control croup dental hygienist defined patients educational needs and gave direct instructions how to change behaviour and self-care.

Prevailing education

In control group prevailing, more professional-centered education is used. Dental hygienist define patients educational needs and give direct instructions how to change behaviour and self-care.
