An interventional study of Verbal-Active Oral Hygiene Education with Negative Visual Aids and Verbal-Active Oral Hygiene Education (Control Group) in Dental Plaque, Halitosis and Oral Hygiene Education Methods, sponsored by Eskisehir Osmangazi University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 7 Years to 14 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-02.
Sponsored by Eskisehir Osmangazi University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
In the present study, children aged 7 to 14 will receive verbal and active (hands-on) oral hygiene education. The education will be delivered in three different formats:
Education supported with positive visual aids (images of healthy teeth),
Education supported with negative visual aids (images of decayed or unhealthy teeth),
Verbal and active education only (control group).
These visual aids are intended to demonstrate the potential positive and negative outcomes of tooth brushing behavior.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of these different visual motivational tools approaches on children's oral hygiene performance.
To achieve this, the children's dental plaque levels and halitosis scores will be measured before the education, one week after, and one month after. These procedures are quick, painless, and non-invasive.
352 studies on the registry are indexed under Dental Plaque; 60 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 60 is close to the median of 56 across 316 interventional studies indexed under Dental Plaque.

Ran from Jul 2024 to primary completion in Dec 2024, 4 months.
Of 133 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Dental Plaque, half reached primary completion within 7 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 16. This study's 4 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 178 studies reached it within 6 months; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 14.
