The objective is a 3-year follow-up clinical trial to evaluate longitudinal indicators of periodontal disease (plaque score, bleeding on probing (BOP), and gingival index (GI)) in 58 participants who completed NCT03571958. These participants were randomized to a brief motivational (BMI) test group or a traditional oral hygiene instruction (OHI) group for a 1-year clinical trial from 2018-2020. In addition, analysis of retrospective data to determine health topics that emerge from the behavior change strategy of BMI compared to traditional OHI by transcription of audio recordings from 2018-2020.

Plaque score
Excellent hygiene: 0-20%, Good hygiene: 21-40%, Fair hygiene: 41-60%, Poor hygiene: 61-100%
Time frame: Recorded one time 2 years +/- 8 months
Bleeding on probing
Presence of bleeding (yes) or absent of bleeding (no)
Time frame: Recorded one time 2 years +/- 8 months
Gingival index
0= normal gingiva, 1=mild inflammation (no BOP), 2=moderate inflammation (BOP), 3=severe inflammation (spontaneous bleeding)
Time frame: Recorded one time 2 years +/- 8 months
