Brief Summary

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

The objective of this study is to verify the changing habits and their maintenance after using cognitive behavioral therapy, exploring factors that may be associated with these stages and the moment in which they occur.

Detailed Description

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

The objective of this clinical trial is to verify the time until changing habits and their maintenance after using cognitive behavioral therapy, exploring the following factors that may be associated with these stages and the moment in which they occur:

* Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of guidance based on cognitive behavioral therapy in relation to changes aimed at oral hygiene and diet habits, through a before and after study;
* Investigate individual and contextual preferences associated with adherence and maintenance of behaviors associated with oral health (diet and oral hygiene) through a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE)
* Measure the effect of retaining hygiene and diet guidance on pairs who did not submit the calendar and on those who submitted the calendar.

Study Groups

cognitive behavioral therapy

All participants will receive a standardized orientation for changing oral health habits using principals of cognitive behavioral therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Principals of cognitive behavioral therapy on guided changing hygiene and sugar comsuption habits

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The twin pairs will also receive guidance on healthy sugar consumption and oral hygiene habits, as the first intervention among the dental interventions received. For the baseline assessment, each participant answered a questionnaire about their diet the day before and about oral hygiene, in addition to demonstrating how they perform it. Thus, the cognitive behavioral theory was applied, so that the participant can record the goals achieved weekly and monthly.
