Abstract | This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a novel progressive web application (PWA) on the patient’s oral and denture knowledge and hygiene. Fifty-two removable partial denture wearers were randomised to receive education using the PWA, or verbal instructions accompanied by demonstration of hygienic procedures. Changes in the participants’ knowledge score, plaque index, gingival index and denture plaque was evaluated during a follow-up period of 3 months. The participants’ acceptance of PWA was explored through usage logs and a feedback form. Both groups showed significant improvement in knowledge scores, oral and denture hygiene indices (p < 0.001) after education. The PWA group demonstrated significantly lower gingival index score than control (p = 0.008) at the third month review. In conclusion, there is potential of using mobile application in educating elderly patients and the PWA is a viable option for providing post-denture delivery instructions. |
