“…Abanto et al ( 15 ) observed a caries prevention program for children based on caries risk assessment for 2 years, and the results showed that this program could effectively prevent early caries and control active caries in children. Yeo and Lee ( 16 ) conducted caries management using mobile application for preschoolers, and it had effects on dental plaque, mineral loss and cariogenic bacteria, especially for children in the extreme high- risk group and the high- risk group.…”

PurposeTo construct an online caries management platform and evaluate its efficacy in children's caries prevention based on caries risk.MethodsThe study participants were second-grade pupils. The caries risk assessment tool (CAT) was used to grade caries risk for all participants, who were randomly divided into the experimental (114 pupils) and control (111 pupils) groups. The experimental group used the Internet for caries management, while the control group was managed by traditional lecturing in classroom. The caries status of each surface of the first permanent molars was recorded. The basic information and oral health knowledge, attitude, and behaviors of participants were collected by questionnaire. One year later, outcome data were collected. Pearson's chi-squared test was used to analyze the caries risk assessment items and oral health behaviors. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to analyze the decayed-missing-filled surfaces (DMFS) index, plaque index, and scores of oral health knowledge and attitude. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. This study was available on the website of Chinese Clinical Trials Register (No: MR-44-22-012947).ResultsAfter 1 year, the oral health knowledge score was improved by 20.58% (P < 0.001) in the experimental group and 6.02% in the control group. The plaque index was improved by 49.60% (P < 0.001) in the experimental group and 21.01% in the control group. The DMFS index increased in both groups but there were no significant differences (P = 0.608). The experimental group had a better improvement effect in caries risk assessment items than the control group, including “whether the frequency of eating sugary snacks or drinks between meals is more than 3 times/day” (P = 0.033) and the use of fluoridated toothpaste (P = 0.020). The experimental group was better than the control group in reported oral health behaviors, including frequency of eating sweets before sleep (P = 0.032), brushing time (P = 0.001), and the filled rate (proportion of FS in DMFS) of first permanent molars (P = 0.003).ConclusionsThe online caries management platform showed more advantages than traditional lecturing in improving oral health knowledge and behaviors (oral hygiene practice, sugar consumption behavior, and medical treatment behavior). This platform provides a reliable implementation path for the occurrence and continuous improvement of oral health-related behaviors.

“…These approaches can reach students where they are, providing them with tailored guidance on oral health behaviors, thus enhancing their overall oral health outcomes (Gayatri, 2023). Moreover, the use of mobile applications for self-examination of oral health problems can empower individuals to take charge of their oral health, promoting early intervention and prevention (Yeo & Lee, 2021). To tackle socio-economic disparities in oral health outcomes and care access, various strategies can be implemented.…”

This paper explores the potential of leveraging data analytics and IoT technologies to enhance oral health programs in schools. By analyzing data generated from IoT devices such as smart toothbrushes and oral health trackers, schools can implement targeted interventions, promote better oral hygiene practices, and prevent dental issues among students. This comprehensive approach not only improves oral health outcomes but also contributes to overall student health and academic success. In recent years, the integration of data analytics and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has brought about significant transformations across multiple industries, with healthcare being a prominent example. Oral health, a fundamental aspect of overall well-being, stands to benefit greatly from these advancements. This paper delves into the potential of harnessing data analytics and IoT technologies to elevate oral health programs within educational institutions, particularly schools. By tapping into the wealth of data generated by IoT devices such as smart toothbrushes and oral health trackers, schools can devise targeted interventions, foster improved oral hygiene practices, and preemptively address dental issues among their students. This comprehensive approach not only yields tangible improvements in oral health outcomes but also holds the promise of enhancing overall student health and bolstering academic success. In recent years, the integration of data analytics and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has not only revolutionized various sectors but has also become a driving force in reshaping healthcare practices. Amidst these advancements, oral health, often overlooked yet crucial to overall well-being, emerges as a domain ripe for transformation. This paper embarks on an exploration of how the amalgamation of data analytics and IoT can invigorate oral health programs within educational settings, particularly schools. By delving into the vast pool of data generated by IoT devices such as smart toothbrushes and oral health trackers, schools can strategically design interventions tailored to individual needs, foster the adoption of superior oral hygiene practices, and proactively mitigate dental issues among their student body.
