The goal of this cluster-randomised control trial is to assess the effectiveness of the MySmile app for improving oral health in secondary school children The main questions it aims to answer are
1 Will the MySmile app be more effective in improving secondary school childrens dental plaque and gingival health over and above the existing school dental service SDS
2 Will the MySmile app be more effective in improving secondary school childrens oral health knowledge attitudes and behaviours over and above the existing SDS
3 Is the MySmile app easy to use by secondary school children
4 Is the MySmile app acceptable to use from the perspective of secondary school children
Participants in the intervention group will receive the SDS and MySmile app The control group will receive SDS only Therefore the researcher will compare between the intervention and control group in terms of dental plaque gingival health oral health knowledge oral health attitudes and oral health behaviours
