OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of existing mobile apps in promoting periodontal health.
METHODS: A comprehensive search strategy will be performed in multiple electronic databases (PubMed, EBSCOhost, CINAHL Plus, Dentistry & Oral Sciences, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) with the following keywords in the title/abstract: \"mobile application,\" \"mobile health,\" \"mHealth,\" \"telemedicine,\" \"periodontal health,\" \"periodontitis,\" and \"text message.\" Only randomized controlled trials will be included that assessed the following outcomes to measure periodontal health improvement: gingival index, bleeding index, periodontal pocket depth, and clinical attachment loss. Covidence will be used for data collection, and a PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) flowchart will be used to describe the selection process of the included, identified, and excluded studies. The Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis approach will be used for meta-analysis of the extracted data from the included studies.
RESULTS: This review will not require ethical approval since no primary data will be included. As of July 2024, a total of 83 articles retrieved from various databases have been imported to Covidence with 13 articles deemed eligible for inclusion in the review. The review is currently ongoing and is expected to be complete by the end of 2024 with the results published in early 2025.
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review and meta-analysis will contribute to developing mobile apps with enhanced criteria to improve periodontal clinical outcomes. The review emphasizes the importance of mHealth and preventing periodontal disease, which can set the stage for informed global health care strategies.

目的:本系统综述和荟萃分析的目的是评估现有移动应用程序在促进牙周健康方面的有效性。
方法:将在多个电子数据库(PubMed,EBSCOhost,CINAHLPlus,牙科与口腔科学,ScienceDirect,Scopus,和Cochrane中央受控试验登记册),标题/摘要中包含以下关键字:“移动应用程序,\"\"移动健康,\“\”m健康,\"\"远程医疗,牙周健康,牙周炎,\"和\"短信。“只有随机对照试验将包括评估以下结果来衡量牙周健康改善:牙龈指数,出血指数,牙周袋深度,和临床依恋丧失。Covidence将用于数据收集,PRISMA(系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目)流程图将用于描述所包含项目的选择过程,已识别,排除研究。网络荟萃分析方法的信心将用于对纳入研究的数据进行荟萃分析。
结果:本审查将不需要伦理批准,因为将不包括主要数据。截至2024年7月,从各种数据库中检索到的总共83篇文章已导入Covidence,其中13篇被认为有资格纳入审查。该审查目前正在进行中,预计将于2024年底完成,结果将于2025年初公布。
结论:本系统综述和荟萃分析将有助于开发具有增强标准的移动应用程序,以改善牙周临床结果。该综述强调了mHealth和预防牙周病的重要性,这可以为知情的全球医疗保健战略奠定基础。
