Camera-Assisted brushing lessons may boost Kids' dental health
NCT ID NCT07327060
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using an intraoral camera to show parents real-time images of their child's teeth and gums leads to better brushing and less plaque than standard verbal instructions. Forty children aged 5-7 and their parents will be split into two groups: one gets camera-assisted training, the other gets standard education. Researchers will measure plaque, gum health, and parent knowledge at the start and after one month.
