Aim: To analyse literature which compares smartphone apps/messaging services with the conventional chairside instructions method in motivating patients wearing fixed orthodontic appliances to reduce the PI, GI, and BOP values.
Materials and Method: Publication of this literature review were selected through PubMed, Cochrane, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases. The comprehensive search was restricted to English language articles, published from January 1st 2015 to December 31st 2020. The databases were used to search for Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) comparing the use of smartphone apps and the chairside instructions method in motivating orthodontic patients. An attempt to contact an author for an article was made but there was no response to the email.
Results: From the 1166 articles searched, only 8 articles which met the inclusion criteria were included in this review with a total of 768 participants (mean age 16.2 years). The PI, GI, and BOP all resulted in a decrease when using a smartphone for motivation on oral hygiene compared to the chairside instructions method. The frequency of motivational reminders and messages also correlated with a decrease in all evaluated indices.
Conclusion: The literature analysis revealed that the use of smartphone apps and messaging services for motivating patients on oral hygiene have a better outcome in PI, GI, and BOP compared to the chairside method. However, the majority of studies were short term. Long term studies need to be conducted in-order to see the true benefits of using smartphone apps as a motivational method.
Tikslas: Išanalizuoti literatūrą, kurioje išmaniųjų telefonų programėlių/žinučių siuntimo paslaugos lyginamos su įprastu burnos higienos instruktažu kėdėje, motyvuojant pacientus, nešiojančius fiksuotus ortodontinius aparatus, siekiant sumažinti burnos higienos indeksų (PI, GI ir BOP) reikšmes.
Uždaviniai:
-
Išanalizuoti, koks įprasto burnos higienos instruktažo kėdėje poveikis higienos indeksams (PI, GI ir BoP).
-
Išanalizuoti, koks išmaniųjų telefonų programėlių/žinučių siuntimo poveikis higienos indeksams (PI, GI ir BoP).
-
Palyginti higienos indeksus (PI, GI ir BoP) burnos higienos motyvaciajai naudojant išmaniųjų telefonų programėlės/žinučių siuntimo paslaugas ir įprastą burnos higienos instruktažą kėdėje.
