An Artificial Intelligence platform to develop an app which improves compliance in periodontal treatments

To develop the accuracy of an AI-determined decision-making process for compliance score (CS) assignment, to assess clinical efficacy, and develop patient reported outcomes of AI-facilitated communication / education on a subject's oral health behaviors over successive maintenance visits.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects 18 to 75-yrs of age
2. Subjects with diagnosis and treatment of Generalized and/or Localized Periodontitis Stages I, II, or III; grades A-C and or Peri-implantitis (Generalized Mild, Moderate, or Advanced Chronic Periodontitis) who are following a periodontal maintenance interval of every three months.
3. Subjects are able to provide self-care (oral hygiene) without disabilities requiring assistance with daily oral hygiene measures.
4. Subjects will have read, understood and signed an institutional review board (IRB) approved Informed Consent Form (ICF).
5. Subjects must be able and willing to follow study procedures and instructions.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who do not own or are incapable of interacting with a smart phone or device

2. Subjects who are incapable of operating an application on a smart phone or device

3. Subjects who are not compliant with periodontal maintenance / recall intervals (Based on Wilson's classification as any lack of compliance with their recommended maintenance interval- therefore exclude subjects who demonstrate erratic compliance or noncompliance)18

4. Subjects who require active periodontal therapy during the study

5. Subjects who are on immunosuppressive medications, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy which would adversely affect their periodontal stability.

6. Subjects participating in other clinical studies involving therapeutic intervention (either medical or dental).

7. Subjects, who in the opinion of the investigator, for any reason other than those listed above, will not be able to complete the study per protocol.
