Brief Summary

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

Introduction: Oral health is considered as a vital component of overall health and its importance in children may not be disregarded. In children with hearing impairment, communication barriers may hamper their understanding of oral hygiene practices, making them particularly vulnerable to dental problems. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare effectiveness of skit video, pictorial and sign language interventions to improve oral hygiene status of children with hearing impairment. Methods: Sixty children were completed the study and allocated randomly into each group with twenty children as follows: group A: Skit video, group B: Pictorial, and group C: Sign language. Mean gingival and OHI scores were recorded before and after implementation of interventions. Oral hygiene habits, oral hygiene and gingival index scores were recorded by structured questionnaire.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Skit video, Pictorial, Sign language

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Three oral health educational intervention groups, group A (skit video), group B (pictorial) and group C (sign language) by using Sequentially Numbered Sealed Opaque Envelopes (SNOSE). Children picked a sealed envelope randomly and assigned to oral health education intervention group A, B and C. Participants in group A were assigned a skit video method of oral hygiene intervention and shown 5 minute video on what to eat and how to brush their teeth. The video included that what is good and bad for teeth, and how to brush which includes method, time and duration of tooth brushing.
