Summary
This study is testing a new mobile app designed to help teenagers in Portugal take better care of their teeth and gums. About 150 teens aged 15 to 18 will use the app alongside regular dental visits, and researchers will check if their brushing habits, plaque levels, and gum health improve compared to teens who don't use the app. The goal is to see if a fun, science-based app can make a real difference in everyday oral care.
