Patients with hypodontia preferred interactive computer-based education material (ICB-EM) over traditional leaflets. This digital approach significantly increased patient satisfaction with health information, highlighting a shift towards modern educational tools in dental care.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Public Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Hypodontia, the congenital absence of teeth, requires comprehensive patient understanding for effective management.
  • Traditional patient education materials, such as leaflets, may not fully engage 21st-century patients accustomed to digital resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare patient acceptability of a hypodontia-specific interactive computer-based education material (ICB-EM) against a standard British Orthodontic Society (BOS) leaflet.
  • To evaluate patient satisfaction with different formats of health information delivery for hypodontia.

Main Methods:

  • A two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a 1:1 allocation ratio was conducted.
  • Ninety-six new hypodontia patients (aged 14+) were randomized to receive either the BOS leaflet or the ICB-EM.

  • Patient evaluation of the intervention was measured using the treatment evaluation inventory.

    • Main Results:

    • The study analyzed 76 participants (38 per group), with a mean age of 19-20.3 years.
    • The intervention group, receiving the ICB-EM, reported significantly higher satisfaction compared to the control group (t = -3.53, P = 0.001).

    Conclusions:

    • Patients demonstrated a clear preference for the interactive computer-based information format.
    • This study provides evidence supporting the use of digital health education tools for hypodontia patients, aligning with modern patient expectations.
