Effectiveness of Personalized Oral Hygiene Advice Delivered by Artificial Intelligence or Dental Professionals Versus Standard Oral Hygiene Advice on Oral and Systemic Health in Community-based Type II Diabetes Patients

Effectiveness of Personalized Oral Hygiene Advice Delivered by Artificial Intelligence or Dental Professionals Versus Standard Oral Hygiene Advice on Oral and Systemic Health in Community-based Type II Diabetes Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Diabetes is a systemic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and is associated with multiple long-term complications. This systemic disease is mutually linked to inflammatory gum diseases through circulating inflammatory mediators. Controlling inflammatory gum diseases by maintaining oral hygiene improves blood glucose levels and reduces long-term complications. However, close supervision of good oral hygiene through home care is labor-intensive and expensive. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used to provide personalized advice on the adequacy of patients' home care (oral hygiene). The investigators hypothesize that the use of AI can improve home care, thereby enhancing both gum health and systemic health, similar to human dental professionals and standardised oral health instructions.
