Popis: Introduction Oral hygiene instruction (OHI) is essential during periodontitis treatment. Various OHI approaches have been explored, including mobile apps.Objective To evaluate the mobile app-based OHI’s effect on periodontitis management by analyzing clinical parameters and subgingival microbiota.Methods Forty-four periodontitis patients were randomly assigned into two groups. The test group (n = 22) received scaling and root planing (SRP), OHI, and mobile app-based OHI, whereas the control group (n = 22) received SRP and OHI. Full mouth plaque score (FMPS), bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing pocket depth at the sampling sites (site-PPD) were assessed at baseline, one- and three-month visits. The 16S rRNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to analyze subgingival plaque samples.Results Significant reduction in FMPS, BOP, and site-PPD at one- and three-month visits compared to baseline (p 0.05). In test groups, intra-group analysis showed better improvement in BOP and site-PPD (p 0.05).Conclusions Mobile app-based OHI showed no superior effects on improving clinical parameters and subgingival microbiota compared to conventional OHI. Further investigation into its long-term impact on periodontitis treatment is needed.
