“…Therefore, subsequent studies should recruit a wider sample and use a stricter study design to validate the results of this study. There are sex differences in learning ability in dental health education [ 29 , 30 ]; therefore, it will be meaningful to compare the dental plaque indices of male and female child ST users. Furthermore, a follow-up study in which the role of STs can be connected not only to plaque control but also to caries control would be monumental.…”

This randomized controlled trial aimed to educate patients and manage oral hygiene remotely via a smart toothbrush (ST) by using mobile applications and to improve oral hygiene and habits by evaluating the plaque state via images from a Q-ray cam, which is a quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) digital imaging device. In total, 68 children (aged 6–12 years) were randomly divided into three groups. Group I was assigned an electro-toothbrush (ET), group II was assigned a smart toothbrush (ST), and group III used a manual toothbrush (MT). Each group used an assigned toothbrush and was checked after 1 and 3 months. Oral hygiene status was evaluated using the patient hygiene performance (PHP) index and fluorescent plaque index (FPI), which are presented in the QLF program. In addition, questionnaires on oral health behaviors and attitudes were also evaluated. There was a 0.24 decrease in the PHP index and a 1.40 decrease in the simple hygiene score three months later compared with the baseline in the ST group, with no significant difference between the three methods (p = 0.518, p = 0.626). Many group II participants said that ST helped with oral hygiene, and they were willing to use it continuously. In addition, all participants’ brushing times and attitudes toward oral hygiene improved after oral hygiene education using a Q-ray cam. Therefore, the use of STs provided good dental health education and a plaque-decreasing effect to children aged 6–12 years old. Furthermore, the QLF device can be used as a useful tool for maintaining good oral hygiene in children.

“…First, as mobile oral health education apps are highly accessible, have no time restrictions, and enable continuous, repeated and long‐term learning, 16 they are a good alternative to address the limitations of offline oral health education programmes and alleviate the regional gap in public oral health projects targeting older adults 6 . Therefore, the government and other agencies in charge of oral health projects for older adults should be aware of and promote oral health education apps to help older adults utilise them without difficulty.…”

“…With the rapid growth of the older adult population in the coming years, promoting oral health for older adults requires greater personnel and material resources 15 . Accordingly, smartphone apps, which can be accessed without any time or place restrictions, are an alternative medium for oral health education for older adults, addressing the limitations of offline education programmes 16 . Furthermore, face‐to‐face oral health education was further hindered by the COVID‐19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, and so smartphone apps could be an alternative medium for non‐contact oral health education.…”

Korean society is faced with numerous changes as a result of the accelerated ageing of the population and advances in and penetration of information technology (IT). 1 Korea officially became an aged society in 2018, with older adults comprising 14.3% of the total population. 2 As for the extent of IT penetration in Korea, the personal smartphone ownership rate in 2017 was 83.2%, which is one of the highest among Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. 3 Increased penetration and utilisation of IT, such as computers, the Internet and smartphones, is an important factor in older adults' daily lives and quality of life. 4,5 In keeping with this trend, there is a growing need for smartphonebased oral health education. 6 Maintaining older adults' oral health is necessary for sustaining systemic health and quality of life. 7,8 Oral health education is essential to improve the oral health of older adults at a high level. 8 With the expanse of the IT environment, it is necessary to consider using smart devices for imparting oral health education. 6 In the past, oral health education for older adults has been conducted offline at sites such as hospitals, welfare facilities and public health centres; however, these programmes had several limitations. 9For example, physical space is essential to provide the programme, the participants must be physically present, and the anticipated

ObjectivesTo investigate the effects of a smartphone‐based oral and whole‐body exercise programme on oral function in older adults.MethodsIndividuals aged 65 years or above were randomized into three groups (non‐app use, app use and control group), and a combined oral and whole‐body exercise programme was conducted for 5 weeks. Oral muscle strength, saliva flow rate, Oral Health Impact Profile‐14 (OHIP‐14), and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) were measured before and after the intervention. The changes in each group were analysed at the end of the programme using paired sample t‐tests, and the differences among the groups were analysed using the chi‐square test, Fisher's exact test and ANOVA.ResultsThe anterior tongue strength increased by 2.80 kPa after the intervention in the non‐app use group; however, the change was not statistically significant. In the app use group, the anterior tongue strength significantly increased by 4.48 kPa. The saliva flow rate increased by 0.54 and 0.71 g/min in the non‐app and app use groups, respectively, after the intervention (p < 0.05), and the change was greater in the app use group than in the other groups (p < 0.01). There were no significant changes in the posterior tongue strength, cheek strength, OHIP‐14 or GOHAI scores over the course of the study.ConclusionsA smartphone‐based combined oral and whole‐body exercise programme can improve anterior tongue strength and saliva flow rate in older participants. The programme, however, did not result in significant changes in posterior tongue strength, cheek strength and perceived oral health.
