Brief Motivational Interviewing (BMI)

The goal of this research study is to determine if the utilization of brief motivational interviewing (BMI) during continuous care is superior compared to traditional oral hygiene instruction (OHI) to reduce patients' plaque score, bleeding on probing (BOP), and gingival index (GI) longitudinal. An additional goal is to investigate chairside time of implementing BMI.

Treatment and study plan

BMI

Behavioral

A derivative of motivational interviewing (MI), which is a patient-centered, collaborative counseling approach to strengthen an individual's intrinsic motivation towards a positive behavior change. BMI is intended for healthcare providers with limited time (5-10 minutes) to support a positive behavior change.

Primary outcomes

  1. Plaque score

    Time frame: Recorded four times over a one year time frame

    Excellent hygiene: 0-20%, Good hygiene: 21-40%, Fair hygiene: 41-60%, Poor hygiene: 61-100%

  2. Bleeding on probing (BOP)

    Time frame: Recorded four times over a one year time frame

    Presence of bleeding (yes) or absent of bleeding (no)

  3. Gingival Index

    Time frame: Recorded four times over a one year time frame

    0= normal gingiva, 1=mild inflammation (no BOP), 2=moderate inflammation (BOP), 3=severe inflammation (spontaneous bleeding)

Other outcomes

  1. Clinical attachment level

    Time frame: Recorded four times over a one year time frame

    Measured in millimeters
