The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of an AI dental monitoring intervention on patients' periodontal disease, preventive behaviors and motivation. This randomized controlled trial included experimental group: AI group (EG-A), AI-humanized group (EG-B) and control group(CG), respectively.
The EG-A and EG-B received AI dental monitoring intervention by taking mouth image at home once a week for six month. Baseline and follow-up surveys were used to collect the data in oral health related quality of life,periodontal parameters, periodontal preventive behaviors and motivation.
A randomized experimental design was used. Patients with periodontal disease whose aged 35-65 years were recruited through department of Periodontics in Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital.
Each group was expected for 100 per group, patients will be randomized into each group. G*Power (version 3.1.9.4) was used for power analysis.
All patients will underwent periodontal examination at baseline and at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month follow-ups.
Each patients will be diagnosed periodontal disease by dentist and have more than 16 functional teeth.
Each patients will completed the questionnaire at baseline and at 1-month, 3-month and 6-month follow-up.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experimental group A (AI Group: EG-A) | Experimental | The AI group scanned their own mouths at home once a week for 6 months, with each scan taking approximately 5 min. After scanning, they uploaded the results to the AI system for evaluation. The AI system then selected and sent a message to each patient depending on their intraoral conditions. |
|
| Experimental group B (AI and health counseling group: EG-B) | Experimental | The AI and health counseling group scanned their own mouths at home once a week for 6 months, with each scan taking approximately 5 min. After scanning, they uploaded the results to the AI system for evaluation. The EG-B received both AI-assisted DM and real-person oral health counseling and advice from a counselor, who assessed their oral hygiene conditions on the basis of their scanning results and then provided individualized counseling, such as pointing out unclean teeth and offering suggestions on cleaning tools. |

| No Intervention: Control group (CG) | No Intervention | the control group(CG) only have standard oral hygiene education |

| The AI-assisted tool used in this study was called Dental Monitoring (DM). | Behavioral | DM is the first APP system used in orthopedics patients in the world,it has been widely used in Asian countries (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan,etc.) and has been used by 2140 patients so far. DM allows patients to take in-mouth photos at home, and uses AI as a background analysis to evaluate the patient's current oral condition (including oral hygiene and gum status) based on the photo. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| gingival index (GI) | The gingival inflammation status of 6 tooth was recorded using the gingiva index, as follows: 0 = No inflammation.
For each patient, GI will measured by the teeth 12,16,24,32,36,44 | Change from Baseline GI at 1-month after intervention |
