Mobile Health App for Gum Disease Plaque Control
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a mobile phone app helps patients better clean their teeth and manage gum disease in areas where the tooth roots split (called furcation involvement). The goal is to see if the app improves plaque removal and gum health compared to standard care.
