Summary
This study tests whether a personalized teaching method called 'Touch-to-Teach' helps people with stage II periodontitis clean between their teeth better than standard instructions. Forty participants will be split into two groups: one gets standard care, the other gets the new method. Researchers will measure plaque and bleeding after the training.
