Official title
Impact of Digital Oral Health Educational Program on a Group of Geriatrics Oral Health and Quality of Life Compared to Standard Oral Health Educational Program in Egypt: a Cluster Randomized Control Trial
Overview
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of a digital oral health education program on the oral health status and quality of life for geriatric populations compared to standard oral health education in Egypt.
Detailed description
The principal investigator will carry out all educational programs.
For both interventions:
* Informed consent from elderly participating. * Baseline records plaque index(Appendix : silness and loe), WHO questionnaire (Appendix : oral health survey) and GOHAI (Appendix : Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index). * Allocation (The outcome will be immediately recorded and sealed in a numbered, opaque envelope corresponding to the cluster. These envelopes will only be opened after the cluster has been enrolled in the study, thus preventing any fore knowledge of the allocation and reducing the risk of selection bias). * Examination will be performed to assess the inclusion criteria.
All geriatric institution will then be allocated into either one of the groups alternatively depending on the educational program used as follows:
Group I (Experimental group); elderly participant will receive digital educational oral health program.
Group II (Control group); elderly participant will receive the standard oral health education in geriatric institution.
. Group I (Experimental group); elderly participant will receive digital educational oral health program.
The digital oral health educational program will be through 6 months and follow up 3 times every 1.5 months through this period. The content will focus on age-related oral health changes, oral hygiene practices, denture care, and disease prevention.
Digital 3D model video designed for the elderly population. Posters Flyers Power-point Cast model Educational videos
. Group II (Control group); elderly participant will receive the standard oral health education in geriatric institution. Participants in the control group will receive standard oral health information. No education sessions will be conducted during the 6 months till the final assessment. However, after the final assessment at 6 months, the control group will be offered access to the digital educational program.
Interventions
- Device elderly participant will receive digital educational oral health program.
* Digital 3D Model Video: A custom-designed 3D animated video illustrating proper tooth brushing techniques tailored for elderly individuals, as well as comprehensive guidance on denture care. * Written Educational Materials: Printed resources including posters and flyers that provide key messages and visual demonstrations related to maintaining good oral hygiene practices. * PowerPoint Presentations and Educational Videos: Visual and audiovisual materials focusing on the importance of balanced - Other elderly participant will receive the standard oral health education in geriatric institution.
The use of traditional health promotion materials, such as leaflets and posters, remains valuable in community settings. These tools are cost-effective, easy to produce, and continue to serve as effective educational resources for adults, including the elderly. Participants in the control group will receive standard oral health information. No education sessions will be conducted during the 6 months till the final assessment. However, after the final assessment at 6 months, the control group wil
