SEQUEIRA, Érika et al. Teleducational model about elderly oral health care with total dental prosthesis. Rev. ABENO [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.2, pp. 03-12. ISSN 1679-5954.

Was developed, applied and evaluated an interactive educational model to teach about elderly oral health and total dental prosthesis care. This model was implemented in the city of Tatuí (Sao Paulo, Brazil). Two groups (A - community health representatives and B - elderly) participated in this study. Group A was trained using an educational strategy which include digital learning objects, infographics, motivational educational videos, and an interactive learning environment. At the end of the course, these group taught Group B. As a result, after 6-month monitoring, 96.2% of the Group A participants changed to a better mouth care habit, 84.6% taught what they had learned, and 65.4% accomplished activities in their communities. In the Group B, elderly group, 93.2% learned something new, 83.3% improved oral health care, and 76.4% taught someone what they had learned. These digital educational tools and teleducational strategy proved to be efficient. The participants changed habits positively and improved their knowledge on oral health care. The perspective is to use this model in telehealth network for primary care and activities that apply interactive teleducation to diffuse knowledge about oral health care.
