  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: Gingivitis and periodontitis patients

Who may be able to join

  • Inclusion criteria were being able to brushing and interdental cleaning physically and mentally, between the ages of 35 and 60, graduated from high school or university, having at least 12 teeth, no periodontal treatment in the last 6 months, no periodontal surgery in the last 2 years.

About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Oral Hygiene Related Self-efficacy, General Self-efficacy and Daily Plaque Control

The objectives are a) to determine the scores of general self-efficacy (GSE) and oral hygiene related self-efficacy (OHSE) b) to evaluate the relations between the scores of GSE and OHSE c) to examine the changes in OHSE scores and the relationship between OHSE and PI scores after motivation and oral hygiene instructions. OHSE scores could be an indicator in predicting daily plaque control of patients. Also, it may be needed to show greater interest about motivation and oral hygiene instructions especially for smokers and OHSE-low group patients.

Read the detailed description

All study patients (n=210) between the ages of 35 to 60 with inflammatory periodontal diseases filled out questionnaires regarding GSE and OHSE. Subgroups including OHSE-low (n=26) and OHSE-high (n=26) groups were selected after performing "cut off" on OHSE scores of all study patients. In both subgroups, plaque index (PI) values were determined, and motivation and oral hygiene instructions were performed at baseline. PI measurements and OHSE questionnaire were repeated at 1 and 3 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • motivation and and oral hygiene instructionsBehavioural

    Motivation and oral hygiene instructions were received OHSE-high and OHSE-low groups. After showing the modified-Bass tooth brushing technique and interdental cleaning on the model, patients were followed up while brushing and flossing their teeth to correct misapplications. It was advised to brush teeth twice a day and use the interdental cleaning devices once a day.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. oral hygiene related self-efficacy (OHSE) score (min:19, max:76, higher values represent a better ), summed

    Woelber et al. in 2015

    Measured: baseline

  2. "change" is being assessed. oral hygiene related self-efficacy (OHSE) score (min:19, max:76, higher values represent a better), summed

    Woelber et al. in 2015

    Measured: 1 mouth

  3. "change" is being assessed. oral hygiene related self-efficacy (OHSE) score (min:19, max:76, higher values represent a better ), summed

    Woelber et al. in 2015

    Measured: 3 mouth

  4. plaque index (min:0, max:5, lower values represent a better), averaged

    Quigley \& Hein (1962) Plaque Index

    Measured: baseline

  5. "change" is being assessed. plaque index (min:0, max:5, lower values represent a better), averaged

    Quigley \& Hein (1962) Plaque Index

    Measured: 1 month

  6. "change" is being assessed. plaque index (min:0, max:5, lower values represent a better), averaged

    Quigley \& Hein (1962) Plaque Index

    Measured: 3 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. General Self Efficacy (GSE) score (min:10, max: 40), summed

    Schwarzer \& Jerusalem, 1995

    Measured: baseline

  2. Demographic variables

    age, gender, smoking, number of teeth, education, income

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dental Plaque, run by Ege University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

oral hygiene related self-efficacy (OHSE) score (min:19, max:76, higher values represent a better ), summed (time frame: baseline). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Dec 2018.
