Summary

Prediabetes is an intermediate stage before the development of diabetes, characterized by elevated blood glucose levels but lower than the diagnostic criteria of diabetes and is associated with multiple long-term complications. This systemic disease is mutually linked to inflammatory gum diseases through circulating inflammatory mediators. Controlling inflammatory gum diseases improves blood glucose levels and reduces long-term complications. While maintaining good oral hygiene through home care is essential for managing inflammatory gum diseases, close supervision of patients' home care is labor-intensive and expensive. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used to provide personalized advice on the adequacy of patients' home care (oral hygiene). The investigators hypothesize that the use of AI can improve home care, thereby enhancing both gum health and systemic health, similar to human dental professionals.

Conditions

  • Gum Disease
  • Prediabetes

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

AI OHI group

The participants will receive personalized OHI such as toothbrush and interdental cleaning to specific areas provided by AI. An mHealth system will be used to detect intraoral photograph of anterior teeth and analysis of the photograph and label the gum condition as Healthy (green)/questionable (yellow)/diseased (red) within 2 minutes by AI. Then specific OHI to each particular site would be provided by AI according to tested results on the photograph

BEHAVIORAL

Dental professionals OHI group

ll participants will receive personalized OHI by dental professionals. This instruction includes brushing and interdental cleaning in each particular dental site. If they have any personal concern or unclear points regarding oral hygiene practice, they can ask.
