Impact of a Personalized Video in Oral Hygiene Motivation
Impact of a Personalized Video in Oral Hygiene Motivation
Impact of a personalized video in oral hygiene motivation: The study hypothesis is that the
 use of a personalized oral hygiene video, made available to the patient via a cloud-based
 system, in conjunction with a text-based two-way recall system will increase patient
 compliance, hence leading to improvement or oral hygiene.
The strategy studied is composite:

 -  First, a personalized video of the patient's oral hygiene routine (toothbrushing and
 interdental hygiene) is recorded and made available to him-her via a cloud-based system.
 The patient is instructed to view it with his-her smartphone and/or tablet when brushing
 his-her teeth.

 -  Second, the patient is registered in a text-based recall system. This recall system will
 remind him-her the oral hygiene regimen suited to his-her personal situation and
 contains a link to his cloud-hosted video. 12 text messages for each patient will be
 sent over the course of the study (8 weeks). This is a two-way system as patients will
 be inquired about their compliance to oral hygiene. If the patient declare compliance,
 he-she will be congratulated (positive reinforcement). If the patient declares
 non-compliance, he-she will be informed he-she will be offered additional counselling at
 the next appointment.
