What this trial studies

This study evaluates the long-term effectiveness of an AI dental monitoring intervention on patients with periodontal disease. Participants aged 35-65 will be randomized into three groups: one receiving AI monitoring, another receiving humanized counseling alongside AI, and a control group. The intervention involves weekly mouth imaging at home for six months, with follow-up surveys assessing oral health quality of life, periodontal parameters, and preventive behaviors. Data will be collected at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months post-intervention.
