Brief Summary:
Gingivitis is a common condition affecting more than 60 of pregnant women due to hormonal changes and inadequate plaque control Left untreated gingivitis can lead to more serious periodontal diseases and systemic inflammation posing risks to overall health and reducing quality of life Therefore the study aims to assess the effectiveness of text messages in maintaining gingival health in pregnant women The primary objective is to determine whether these reminders which focus on proper brushing and flossing techniques can reduce gingivitis and improve overall oral hygiene during pregnancy
This research follows a two-group parallel-arm single-blind randomized control trial RCT design The trial will be conducted at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of Lahore Teaching Hospital Eligible participants are adult pregnant women showing signs of gingivitis excluding those with bleeding disorders or moderate to severe pre-existing periodontal disease Participants are randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group using computer-generated randomization
Both groups will undergo oral health assessments at baseline using the Plaque Index PI Gingival Index GI and Bleeding on Probing BOP measures to gauge plaque buildup and gingival inflammation Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 4-6 weeks and 12-16 weeks The intervention group will receive a weekly text message reminding them to practice proper oral hygiene such as brushing and flossing Both groups will also receive in-person demonstrations of oral hygiene techniques to ensure standardized knowledge on effective oral care
