Oral Health Among Children (OHAC)

Oral Health Knowledge and Practice Among 8-9 Years Old Children.

The aim of this study is to identify the knowledge and behavior on dental health and hygiene among adolescents. In most cases, the investigators know tooth decay can be prevented and reversed at an early stage by observing good oral hygiene. Few studies have been done among adolescents.

This study could justify the implementation of public health actions in terms of prevention.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
comparison of children's notes before and after a prevention intervention	The main result will be calculated with the total score to the questions. Each question corresponds to a point. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score is 25. We will compare the evolution of the averages obtained by the control group and by all three other groups with Student test	1 day

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Compare the evolution of children's grades according to the type of intervention	For the secondary objective, we will compare the evolution of the averages obtained between the three groups with intervention with ANOVA test. Each question corresponds to a point. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score is 25. before and after the explanation as well as one month and 6 months after the intervention	before and after the explanation as well as one month and 6 months after the intervention
Determine the timeframe by which children forget the information they have been given	A questionnaire to know the oral knowledge will be distributed to the children before and after the explanation as well as one month and 6 months after the intervention	before and after the explanation as well as one month and 6 months after the intervention
