“…Various approaches based on behavioral sciences and communication skills have been proposed to improve and maintain patient adherence to OHI [ 5 ]. Studies show that the use of mobile-based health applications (mHealth) is an effective approach to engaging patients in their health care, can be used as a behavior change instrument, including oral hygiene adherence, and may play an important part in the treatment of periodontitis patients [ 10 , 44 ].…”

“…Approximately 39% (9/23) of the included RCT studies reported a significant reduction in dental plaque [26,46,[53][54][55][56][57]59,63]. Similarly, 26% (6/23) of the studies reported significant improvement in gingival health measured via bleeding on probing [51,[53][54][55]57,59], and only 4% (1/23) of the studies reported a reduction in enamel caries [59]. Regarding dental anxiety management, 75% (3/4) of RCT studies reported a significant decrease in mean heart rate and lower image scale scores compared with the controls [41][42][43].…”
