Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of persuasion system-based health intervention in orthodontic patients treated with clear aligners.Methods:From January 2022 to December 2023, convenience sampling was used to select patients treated with clear aligners at the Department of Orthodontics in Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanjing Medical University as participants. Patients admitted from January to December 2022 were included in the control group ( n=60), and those admitted from January to December 2023 were included in the observation group ( n=59). The control group received health guidance based on the theory of knowledge, attitude, and practice. Based on the control group, the observation group added health intervention with the assistance of a persuasion system. After one year of intervention, the oral care self-efficacy, enamel demineralization, periodontal health index (gingival index, plaque index, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth), and restart rate of both groups were evaluated. Results:After the intervention, the scores of the Self-efficacy Scale for Self-care in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant [ (71.03±1.97) vs. (57.82±2.58), P<0.01]. The enamel demineralization rate, periodontal health index (plaque index, gingival index, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth) score, and restart rate in observation group were all lower than those in control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Persuasion system system-based health intervention can improve the oral care self-efficacy of orthodontic patients treated with clear aligners, alleviate oral health issues during clear aligners, and reduce the restart rate of clear aligner patients.
