“…Eleven studies (Abdaljawwad, ; Alkadhi et al., ; Bowen, Rinchuse, Zullo, & DeMaria, ; Cozzani et al., ; Eppright et al., ; Hernández Albújar, ; Iqbal et al., ; Jadhav et al., ; Jejurikar, Nene, Kalia, Gupta, & Mirdehghan, ; Kumar et al., ; Li et al., ; Zotti et al., ) involved adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment (Table ). Most of the studies that used text messaging combined two behaviour change techniques, that is, “Associations—prompts/cues” and “Natural consequences—information about health consequences” (Abdaljawwad, ; Bowen et al., ; Cozzani et al., ; Eppright et al., ; Hernández Albújar, ; Iqbal et al., ; Jadhav et al., ; Kumar et al., ). Among the three studies that used mobile application intervention, two of them employed different behaviour change techniques, “Comparison of behaviour—social comparison,” “Reward and threat—social reward” and “Comparison of outcomes—credible source” (Li et al., ; Zotti et al., ).…”

Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of mobile applications and text messages, compared with conventional oral hygiene instructions, for improving oral health knowledge and/or reducing gingival inflammation, when delivered to adolescents, adults and mothers of young children. Methods Randomized clinical trials evaluating the use of mobile applications or text messages related to oral hygiene and/or oral health education were screened. A search was performed in the Medline‐PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases and the grey literature. The eligible studies comprised those related to plaque, gingival bleeding and/or oral health knowledge as outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane tool and the GRADE system. Two meta‐analyses were carried out. Results Among the fifteen studies selected, twelve (80%) used text messages and thirteen (87%) showed better results when mobile technology was used. The pooled SMD for the dental plaque index (n = 10 studies) was −9.43 (95% CI −14.36 to −4.495; I2 = 99%, p < 0.001), and that of gingival bleeding (n = 7 studies) was −8.54 (95% CI −13.16 to −3.91; I2 = 99%, p < 0.001), indicating significant improvement in dental plaque control and gingival bleeding for groups that received the mobile health (mHealth) strategy. Conclusion mHealth can be used as an adjunct component in managing gingivitis, acquiring oral health knowledge and improving oral hygiene.

“…The current results were in agreement with those of studies that reported the positive e cacy of message reminders for oral hygiene promotion of patients during xed orthodontic treatment. [20][21][22][23] Evidence shows that dental caries following orthodontic treatment can negatively affect the patients' perception of orthodontic treatment, which would negatively impact the future attendance of patients. 20 Although initial enamel lesions may develop within 2-3 weeks following microbial plaque accumulation on tooth surfaces, 31 the current study did not show any signi cant change in caries index in the two groups during the 6-month course of treatment and the two groups were the same in this respect.…”

Background: Orthodontic appliances complicate daily oral hygiene maintenance and enhance the formation of microbial biofilm on tooth surfaces and orthodontic appliances. Any tool that enhances the oral hygiene of patients during orthodontic treatment would be of imperative beneficial. This trial was conducted to assess the effect of message reminders on oral hygiene of patients during removable orthodontic treatment. Methods: In this 2-arm parallel randomized controlled trial, participants were randomly allocated to two groups; one receiving messages reminder and one as the control group. The patients in the messaging group received one or two message reminders and educational videos weekly during the course of treatment. The patients with removable maxillary appliance who were in the age range of 8 to 12 years old and had daily access to Internet to receive message reminders were recruited in this study. A single blinded examiner measured the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and dental caries index of patients in both groups at baseline (T0) and one (T1), three (T2) and six (T3) months after the first day of treatment to assess their oral hygiene status during the course of treatment in both groups. Results: A total of 50 patients were enrolled and randomized to two even groups (n=25) but only 46 patients completed the study; 22 in control group, and 24 in message reminder group. The PI and GI scores were increased neither in control group nor in message reminder group during T0 and T1, significantly. The PI and GI scores in message reminder group were significantly lower than those in the control group at T2 (PI: P=0.003, GI: P=0.001) and T3 (PI: P=0.044, GI: P=0.012). However, slight significant increasing in the PI and GI score were found during T2 and T3 during in message reminder group. Caries index showed no significant difference between two group during study.Conclusion: It seems that message reminders can efficiently promote oral hygiene of patients undergoing removable orthodontic treatment. Although, this promotion wasn’t progressive.

“…The increased patient cooperation achieved in this study also is consistent with the results of research regarding oral hygiene and plaque reduction. 8,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] In those studies, patients who received messages via short message service or WhatsApp or who received calls from professionals exhibited better plaque control and a better hygiene score than patients in control groups who did not receive such notifications. This demonstrates that sending text messages is an effective method for improving oral hygiene in orthodontic patients.…”
