Multi-Modal Education to Improve Compliance, Knowledge Retention & Anxiety After Dental Extractions

Participants receive verbal post-extraction care instructions delivered by a trained investigator using a calibrated script. The content includes guidance on bleeding control, diet, oral hygiene, activity restrictions, and medication use.

Participants receive the same standardised verbal instructions as the control group, supplemented with the PDEC-kit. The kit includes a two-minute educational video, illustrated flashcards, a live gauze demonstration using a dental model, and a bilingual (English and Bahasa Melayu) illustrated brochure with QR code access to a digital version.
