Conclusions: The IPB and ISG of patients treated at the Dental Clinic of the UPC decreased three times (T0, T1 and T2) in both groups. No statistically significant differences for IPB in the group receiving SMS (p = 0.153) were found however, significant differences in the ISG (p = 0.008) were found. Results: IPB and ISG decreased in both groups, resulting in the group receiving SMS on average 28.95 + 19.25 at T0, 17.65 + 19.25 in Q1 and in Q2 +12.22 20.28 whereas, for an average of 13.22 ISG + 7.33, 6.61 + 3.68 and 9.13 + 5.09 respectively.
Also, re-evaluations of IPB and ISG 15 days (T1) and one month (T2) were performed. Following that, they made an oral hygiene instruction and were informed that might or might not be part of the SMS group, in which case receive SMS previously established through a focus group, three times a week. All participants in the initial assessment (T0) they were given an informed consent explaining the procedure of the study and then underwent making plaque index according O'leary (IPB) and gingival bleeding index according Ainamo (ISG). This altitude camp featured a little bit of everything, volume, intensity, time trials, sun, rain and snow It definitely got us fired up for the upcoming season, although I. Material and Methods: The study was quasi-experimental, for which 30 participants were needed, and randomly divided equally into two groups: group receiving SMS and group not receiving SMS. Last week the team wrapped up a two week camp in Park City, UT. Objective: To evaluate the rate of plaque and gingival bleeding by applying text messaging (SMS) in patients treated at the Dental Clinic of the University of Applied Sciences.
