Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - YES

Background- Dietary intake of an individual has a direct correlation with the dental and oral health. For this reason, diet diaries have been recommended as a dietary assessment tool that enables the tailoring of effective dietary advice for individual patients in dental practice. However, despite the recognized merits of diet diaries as dietary assessment and self-monitoring tools in the general literature, an early search of literature revealed that very little empirical work had been devoted to this topic in the dental context. Mobile applications have been developed to monitor health, including diet. Diet apps aim to reduce and resolve common limitations associated with the conventional pen and paper dietary assessment methods. However, few studies report the validity of these apps for use in regular practice. Hence, there is a need for a new app which can overcome these drawbacks. ‘Sugar smart’  is a unique smartphone  dietary assessment app that is being developed which uses artificial intelligence and permits real-time editing of food journals and makes recording and management of diet easier for the patients.
