“…At baseline, the knowledge scores of subjects in test group (8.36 ± 5.16) were lower than that of the control group (9.53 ± 4.04), and this difference was not statistically significant. Contradicting this finding, Ganapathi et al . reported that knowledge scores of the subjects in test groups (4.45, 3.27, 3.25, and 3.05) were higher than that of the control group (2.63).…”

Aim This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a novel health education method—Audio Tactile Performance (ATP) technique—in maintenance of gingival health and plaque removal efficacy among institutionalized visually impaired children of Bhubaneswar city. Methods and results A parallel arm, single blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted among 10‐ to 15‐year‐old visually impaired children. Clinical examinations were done by the examiner blinded to group allocations. Oral health education materials (Braille and audio) were given to control group and ATP technique was given to test group. Clinical examinations for plaque and gingival scores were assessed at baseline, 30 days interval, and 90 days interval. The trial was registered with the Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI/2017/05/008551). In control group, a greater plaque reduction was observed at 30 days interval (3.58 ± 1.3) when compared to baseline (2.63 ± 2.02) and 90 days interval (3.14 ± 0.88), and this difference was statistically significant. For whole mouth, in test group, a greater reduction in gingival scores was observed at 90 days interval (2.65 ± 1.64) when compared to baseline (4.58 ± 1.63) and 30 days interval (1.23 ± 2.43), and this difference was statistically significant. Conclusion ATP was found to be at par with the control group (Braille and audio aids).

Abstract-Blind children are the children with weak eyesight or complete loss of vision. Limitation of vision affects their ability to gain knowledge regarding oral health which will affect their oral hygiene status. This aim of this research is to determine the difference in effectiveness of dental health education between the audio and Braille method towards the knowledge and OHIs score among the blind children. This is an experimental research with pre and post test group design. This research comprised of 93 samples which were divided into two groups such as audio group (44 samples) and Braille group (49 samples) according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The knowledge and oral hygiene score were individually evaluated using questionnaire and OHIs index. The evaluation was taken before, on the 1 st week and 1 month after the dental health education. Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney test were used to analyze the difference in effectiveness of dental health education between the audio and Braille method. The results showed that there was a significant increase in knowledge score and decrease in OHIs score in both method (p=0.000). There was no significant differences in gaining knowledge and decreasing the oral hygiene score between the both methods (p>0.05).Therefore, dental health education using the audio and Braille is effective in improving the knowledge and oral hygiene score among the blind children.
