First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a mobile app that gives teachers short, interactive lessons on oral health. About 870 teachers in Malaysia will either get the app or standard training. Researchers will check if the app improves teachers' knowledge and confidence, and if that leads to better oral health habits and outcomes in their students.
