A randomized clinical trial assessed the effect of a group-based behavior modification intervention on oral hygiene skills, adherence and clinical outcomes for older periodontal patients. Subjects (n = 107) were aged 50-70 yr with moderate periodontal disease. They were randomly assigned to usual care or intervention. Intervention consisted of 5 weekly, 90-min sessions that included skill training, self-monitoring, weekly feedback about bleeding points and group support focused on long-term habit change. Four-month follow-up indicated significant improvements in the intervention versus the usual periodontal maintenance group for oral hygiene skills and self-reported flossing (p < 0.001), plaque, gingival bleeding, bleeding upon probing throughout the mouth, and pocket depth for sulcus depths that measured between 3 and 6 mm at baseline (p < 0.009). Group oral health intervention provides an effective and relatively inexpensive means of helping patients improve their self-care skills and achieve high levels of adherence to an effective self-care regimen.
