NCT ID NCT07323771
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a one-month educational program delivered through WhatsApp videos could improve oral health knowledge and habits in adults with type 2 diabetes. 98 participants were split into two groups: one received videos via WhatsApp, the other a brochure. After one month, researchers compared changes in knowledge and behavior. The goal was to see if a simple, phone-based approach could help people with diabetes better care for their teeth and gums.
