Design
-
In this study, 196 patients with periodontitis and gingivitis who are admitted to the dentistry department are selected. The participants are randomly divided into intervention and control groups and trained in the educational program.

Settings and conduct
-
In this clinical trial study, the effect of educational intervention based on health belief model on incidence of periodontitis and gingivitis in adult population referred to dental clinic in Tehran is as follows. Random selection of people who have Periodontitis and inflammation of the gum are divided into two groups: intervention and control, through a randomized block of permutation, the number in each group is 98. The total sample is 196 individuals with periodontitis and gingivitis. The questionnaire is to be completed by both groups. Information is provided. In both cases, non-surgeon treatment (Scaling and root planing) is done, but dental and oral health education intervention takes place only in the intervention group. And the intervention group is not provided to the control group. A follow-up of one month and three months is done in both groups and a questionnaire is again provided to complete the information.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
The entry criteria are for people with a pocket depth index greater than 4 mm and have gingivitis that is free of systemic disease and no smoking. The exit criteria are all those who do not have these features and have at least two sessions of absentee training sessions.

Intervention groups
-
In the intervention group, in addition to non-surgical treatment including rooting and leveling, oral and dental health education and only non-surgical treatment without health education were performed in the control group. Oral oral and oral practice (using replica), brushing the standard Bass and proper use of dental floss twice a day. Individual training takes place in three sessions (referral day - one month later and three months later) for fifteen minutes and a group once for 60 minutes. In the field of training based on model structures: 1. The benefits of proper oral and dental health and perceived severity are explained. 2. For expressing the perceived benefits and barriers, group discussion and lecture are used. By simply saying brushing and using dental floss, each of these behaviors is likely to be discussed. 3. In the field of self-efficacy Patients are assured that they can best observe their oral hygiene, especially in the following referrals and one and three-month follow-ups of verbal encouragement and talk about successful experiences.

The rejection of the condition is re-measured. The examination is again recorded in the special form of examination of each person. Repetitive oral and dental health education is done in the intervention group; for the second time, the questionnaire is completed. Repeated reintroduction 3 months after Second visit. A re-examination and final evaluation are carried out. In the control group, health education is not provided based on the model, only the scaling and determination of plaque and periodontal indexes is done. To the control group, a three-time referral is completed.
