“…Knowledge of oral hygiene concepts and oral hygiene performance have previously been shown to be related in a study using programmed self instruction (Bratthall 1967). Legler, Gilmore ,and Stuart (1971) also showed that a movie, a pamphlet and personal counseling resulted in improved knowledge of orai hygiene and in reduced piaque scores. Other studies have shown improved orai hygiene associated with personal oral hygiene instructions (Lightner, O'Leary, Jividen, Crump & Drake 1968, Suomi, Greene, Vermillion, Chang & Leatherwood 1969, Lovdal, AmO', Schei & Waerhaug 1961.…”

The correlations between manual dexterity test scores and oral hygiene scores and the correlations between the level of oral hygiene knowledge and oral hygiene scores were investigated in 59 studients. Oral hygiene was measured by a modified Loe and Silness plaqoe index. The buccal and lingual plaque scores were considered together as were the mesial and distal scores. Dexterity was measured by a peg board test and oral hygiene knowledge was measured by a 15 question multiple choice test. Each subject was shown two audiovisual programs on oral hygiene. Plaque scores were measured at the beginning of the study, at 7 days (immediately after carrying out oral hygiene) and at 14 days.Manual dexterity of the right or preferred hand showed significant statistical correlations with all oral hygiene scores except the 14 day interproximal score. There was no significant correlation between left or nonpreferred hand on any of the plaque scores.A correlation was seen between knowledge of oral hygiene (as measured by the multiple choice test) and several of the oral hygiene scares. These correlations were less significant than that seen between dexterity and oral hygiene.

“…Educational programs on oral health may provide short-term improvement of oral hygiene [ 5 ], indicating that simple conventional oral health guidance results in inadequate behavior change in participants. Additionally, conventional oral health guidance without effective procedure and a good relationship with participants are known to be ineffective over time [ 5 , 6 ]. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the possible effects of self-checking of oral health among children residing in a children’s home.…”

BackgroundThe effectiveness of an oral hygiene program for children living in a children’s home has been reported. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the possible effects of self-checking of oral health among children residing in a children’s home. The objective of this study was to examine if self-checking using plaque disclosing solution improves oral hygiene in schoolchildren living in a children’s home.MethodsWe enrolled nine schoolchildren (six girls) without untreated decayed teeth living in a children’s home in Japan. This preliminary study was designed as a 5-month program comprising group and individual instructions and self-checking using plaque disclosing solution. Paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for statistical analysis to evaluate the change of Plaque Control Record (PCR) and Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP).ResultsThe mean PCR significantly decreased to 38.7% after 3 months of self-checking using disclosing solution compared with that before self-checking (i.e., at 1 month) (60.7%) (P < 0.01). PHP score significantly decreased to 1.4 at 4 months compared with that at baseline (2.8) and at 1 month (2.7) (P = 0.012 and P = 0.018). Improvement of oral hygiene status was evaluated according to the ratio of PCR at 4 months to that at 1 month. The average improvement ratio was 0.4 ± 0.35 (range: 0.0–1.0). Significant correlation was not found between improvement rate and school grade (r = 0.63, P = 0.070).ConclusionsOur results suggest that self-checking with disclosing solution may be effective in improving oral hygiene among schoolchildren at a children’s home.
