Abstract：Objective To explore the application effect of the mobile health platform combined with the feedback method education model on elderly patients wearing removable partial dentures.Methods Using consecutive sampling,60 older adults with RPDs who attended Hebei Medical University Stomatological Hospital from January to December 2023 were randomly allocated to a control group(n=30)or an intervention group(n=30).The control group received routine health education.The intervention group received health education via an mHealth platform combined with the teach-back method once every two weeks for 3 months.The scores of the oral health behavior scale and the oral health impact profile(OHIP-14)scale of the two groups of subjects before and after the intervention were compared,as well as the rate of adjustment of removable partial dentures after the intervention.Results At baseline,there were no significant between-group differences in Oral Health Behavior Scale or OHIP-14 scores(P>0.05).After 3 months,the intervention group showed a significantly higher Oral Health Behavior Scale score than the control group(21.9±2.0 vs 16.8±2.1,P<0.05).The intervention group had significantly lower OHIP-14 scores(20.8±5.9 vs 29.5±7.6,P<0.05)and a lower rate of post-insertion RPD adjustments(10.0%vs 33.3%,P<0.05)compared with the control group.Conclusion This intervention model can effectively promote improved oral health behaviors among elderly patients,thereby enhancing their oral health status and overall quality of life.
