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 periodontal index, periodontal preventive behavior and motivation.

Location status: Recruiting
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.
Healthy volunteers accepted: No
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

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.
