Brief Summary:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of an AR dental care training in health education on periodontal status, blood sugar control and quality of life in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. This randomized controlled trial included experimental group: AR group (EG-A), AR-health consulting group (EG-B) and control group (CG), respectively.

The EG-A and EG-B received AR dental care training intervention 2 to 3 times during non-surgical periodontal treatment.

Baseline and follow-up surveys were used to collect the data in periodontal index, blood sugar data, oral health knowledge, attitudes, behavior, oral health-related quality of life.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 With Periodontal Disease Device: AR Dental Care Training System Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

A randomized experimental design was used. Patients with type 2 diabetes whose aged 35-65 years and HbA1c over 7% in the past six months were recruited through department of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital.

Each group was expected for 100 per group, patients will be randomized into each group. G*Power (version 3.1.9.4) was used for power analysis.

All patients will underwent periodontal examination at baseline and at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1 year follow-ups.

Each patients will be diagnosed periodontal disease by dentist and have more than 12 functional teeth.

Each patients will completed the questionnaire at baseline and at 1-month, 3- month,6-month and 1 year follow-up.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: AR group (EG-A)
Behavioral: AR intervention For the EG-A, the AR dental care training system will give to patients that 2 to 3 times tooth clean skill learning course (including Bass method of brushing and inter-dental toothbrush brushing technique) during non-surgical periodontal treatment period.
Device: AR Dental Care Training System
AR dental care training system is the first training system used in tooth clean skill learning (including Bass method of brushing and inter-dental toothbrush brushing technique) the world, it has been used to training elementary school children and dental hygiene student. And we are the first study to use this system to learn oral cleaning skill in hospital for patient with T2DM.

Experimental: AR-health consulting group (EG-B)

Behavioral: AR intervention For the EG-B, the AR dental care training system will give to patients that 2 to 3 times tooth clean skill learning course (including Bass method of brushing and inter-dental toothbrush brushing technique) during non-surgical periodontal treatment period.

The health counseling will also provide professional oral health related courses (including oral care for diabetes and periodontal disease, etc.)
