Enhancing Oral Hygiene in Children With Hearing Impairment: The Impact of Skit Video Interventions -A Randomized Controlled Trial.

. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of 3 interventions-skit video, pictorial, and sign language-in improving the oral hygiene of children with hearing impairment. . Sixty children randomly divided into 3 groups: Skit video, Pictorial, and Sign language. The mean gingival and Oral Hygiene Index scores were recorded before and after interventions. A 1-way ANOVA was used for statistically significant difference between pre and post intervention scores. . A significant difference in mean oral hygiene and gingival index scores before and after interventions was found in Group A ( < .005). A statistically significant difference was also found between group A and B in inter group comparison of OHI and GI scores post intervention ( < .004). . Skit video and pictorial intervention effectively improves oral health resulting in reduced mean oral hygiene and gingival scores.
