Few educational oral health applications, directed to the preschool children under the age of six years are available world-wide. The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the acceptance and efficacy of a digital application in improving evidence based oral hygiene knowledge among parents of young children to control Early Childhood Caries (ECC). This study is split into two parts, the first one is aimed to understand the acceptance, usability and parental perception about a digital application being used to promote the evidence based oral hygiene knowledge among parents of young children to control ECC. In a second phase (randomised clinical trial) the additional effect and acceptance of the digital application, and efficacy in improving parental knowledge, behaviour and self-reported practices/attitudes related to the oral health preventive measures will be presented.
