Impact of Three Different Education Methods on Oral Hygiene

Impact of Three Different Education Methods on Oral Hygiene and Theoretical Knowledge of Schoolchildren

In the present study, 144 children (72 males and 72 females), whose ages ranged between 8-13, were divided into 12 equal experimental groups according to their ages and gender. They were all considered to have poor hygiene. Only one out of the three different education methods (brochure, model or video) was applied to each group. The percentage change in PI, GI, BOP and theoretical test points from the baseline to the 6th months were evaluated.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Oral Hygiene
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Non-surgical periodontal treatment

Detailed Description

Aim: The aim the present study was to evaluate the impact of three different education methods on the oral hygiene levels of school children using clinical and theoretical findings.

Methods: In the present study, 144 children (72 males and 72 females), whose ages ranged between 8-13, were divided into 12 equal experimental groups according to their ages and gender. They were all considered to have poor hygiene. Only one out of the three different education methods (brochure, model or video) was applied to each group. The percentage change in PI, GI, BOP and theoretical test points from the baseline to the 6th months were evaluated. The data was statistically analysed by using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and One-way ANOVA tests.
