The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the development and implementation of a teledentistry strategy focused on community-dwelling older adults of the La Araucanía region improve participants' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy in oral health? * Could this teledentistry strategy have acceptability greater than 80%? Participants will receive a dental-medical-geriatric diagnosis in a mobile dental clinic supported by a web platform called Teleplatform of Geriatric Dental Specialties (TEGO) and individual oral health education. The researchers will compare a comparison group that will receive face-to-face individual oral health education with an intervention group, called tele-education group, that will receive educational reinforcement through a teledentistry strategy mediated by oral health educational videos sent via WhatsApp; to see if there are differences in the knowledge, attitudes, and oral health self-efficacy between the groups.","overall_status":"Completed","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"Fernanda Muñoz Sepúlveda","enrollment":117,"countries":["Chile"],"start_date":"2023-03-03","completion_date":"2023-10-14","last_update_date":"2024-01-03","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05917548","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
