To assess the effectiveness of AI-based educational videos in improving patient-reported oral health outcomes.
This study adopts a two-arm, parallel-group randomised controlled trial (RCT) design to compare the effectiveness of AI-based video education versus conventional oral health instruction in improving denture care knowledge, patient satisfaction, and oral health-related quality of life among older adults wearing removable prostheses.

The intervention consists of an AI-based educational video module, approximately 8 minutes in duration, designed to improve denture care practices. It uses step-by-step, visually engaging demonstrations with AI-guided narration to enhance understanding, recall, and adherence.

RECRUITINGChange in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHIP-14 Score)
The primary outcome is the mean change in OHIP-14 total score from baseline to follow-up assessments.
Time frame: Baseline, immediately post-intervention, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Change in Denture Care Knowledge Retention Score
Measured using a structured denture care knowledge quiz assessing correct cleaning frequency, storage methods, avoidance of harmful practices, recognition of poor fit, and oral hygiene procedures.
Time frame: Baseline, immediately post-intervention, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Patient Satisfaction with Educational Method
Measured using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire evaluating clarity, usefulness, acceptability, and confidence in applying denture care practices after receiving the assigned intervention (AI-based video or conventional oral instruction).
Time frame: Immediately post-intervention, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Compliance with Denture Hygiene Practices
Assessed with a structured self-reported checklist of daily denture care practices, including cleaning frequency, storage behaviour, and oral mucosal care.
Time frame: 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months post-intervention
