Role of 3D animation in periodontal patient education: a randomized controlled trial.

Aim: This randomized controlled parallel trial investigates the effect of 3D animation on the increase and recall of knowledge on periodontitis by patients with periodontitis. The effects of a 3D animation (3D animation group) were compared with narration and drawing (control group) for periodontal patient education.

Material And Methods: A total of 68 periodontitis patients were stratified according to educational level and then randomly allocated to control or 3D animation groups.
