Taiwan100 participantsStarted 2023-03-28

Plain-language 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.
