“…Excluded studies We excluded 25 studies: fifteen had no educational component; six included university students; and four assessed no predefined outcomes (Figure 1). Duration of follow-up Follow-up for two studies was one month [17,18], and for six studies ranged from one month to three months [19][20][21][22][23][24]; for two studies was from three months to six months [25,26], and a study was followed up after nine months [27]. In one study, follow-up time was not reported.…”

“…None of the studies reported low risk of bias. A high risk of bias in assessment of risk of bias was observed in eight studies [17,18,20,[23][24][25][26][27]. The other four studies were at unclear risk of bias [19,21,22,27,29].…”

“…We meta-analyzed six studies [19][20][21][22][24][25][26][27] and involving 1947 students. Dental plaque scores improved significantly more among students receiving the oral health educational intervention compared with students that no receive educational activities (SMD -1.01, 95% CI -1.50 to -0.…”

Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of school based oral health interventions programs on students’ oral hygiene, in developing countries through systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Our investigation was conducted in electronic databases including MEDLINE Ovid), Embase Ovid, Scopus), Web of Science from 2000 to march 2018.The data were extracted based on a standard data collection form specific to observational studies, and entered into RevMan 2014. Inclusion criteria included individually randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or cluster-RCTs including quasi- experimental studies that were related to oral health interventions. Software RevMan 2014was used for meta-analysis. A meta-analysis was carried out using random-effects models. Results: Twelve studies of students in this review finally entered the study including five individual RCTs, four cluster-RCTs, and three quasi-experimental studies. The intervention study period ranged from 1 month to 9 month. Interventions described in the studies briefly included oral health education with activities such as lectures, albums, slides, pamphlets, posters, and role playing. Meta-analyses showed a significant difference in knowledge (SMD 3.31, 95% CI 2.52 to 4.11; I 2 = 98; P < 0.001), attitude (SMD 1.99, 95% CI 0. 43 to 3.54; I 2 = 99; P < 0.001), behavior (SMD 4.74, 95% CI 3.70 to 5.77; I 2 = 99; P < 0.001), plaque index (SMD -1.01, 95% CI -1.50 to -0. 51; I 2 = 97; P < 0.001) and Gingival index (SMD 0. 33, 95% CI -0. 36 to 1. 02; I 2 = 98; P = 0.34) for students receiving educational interventions compared to those receiving usual care . Discussion: The systematic review concludes that educational interventions are effective for improving oral health knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, etc., which could potentially lead to improved oral health, reduced oral diseases, and reduced costs from treating oral diseases.

“…In the post‐test results, where oral guidance and video guidance were comparatively evaluated, both were effective in increasing knowledge among adolescents. Other studies that also used conventional teaching methods presented satisfactory results to improve knowledge, attitudes, and practices in oral health of adolescents, including video guidance and oral guidance with standardized content.…”

“…Although some educational methods have shown significant improvements in oral hygiene including reading, oral presentations, and use of focus groups, only two studies have recently used information technology as a resource for oral health education in adolescents, showing an improvement in indices of periodontal disease in individuals using orthodontic devices. However, the efficiency of using an App specifically developed for oral health in adolescents has not yet been consolidated in the literature.…”

Objectives:The effectiveness of one-to-one preventive dental education provided by dental undergraduate students for improving elementary school-aged children's oral self-care skills, diet-related knowledge, and diet behavior was tested. Methods:The sample consisted of 106 children between the ages of 5 and 12 years who attended the same school. Oral self-care skills were assessed by undergraduate dental students using a tooth-brushing assessment form, and diet knowledge and behaviors by means of a questionnaire. The effectiveness of education (two one-to-one sessions) was evaluated by measuring the posteducational changes in the children's oral self-care skills, diet knowledge, and behavior.Results: There were significant improvements in the means (sd) of toothbrushing skill scores (range: 0-18) from 6.2 (4.0) at the baseline to 8.4 (4.1) at the first and to 10.3 (3.0) at the second follow-up. Total tooth-brushing time (in seconds) significantly increased from 76.0 (59.1) at the baseline to 110.7 (74.3) at the first follow-up then decreased to 102.6 (73.1) at the second follow-up. The means (sd) of diet knowledge scores (range: 0-30) improved significantly from 18.5 (5.6) at the baseline to 23.0 (7.3) at the first and to 24.5 (4.0) at the second follow-ups. The means (sd) of weekly sugar intake scores (range: 0-18) significantly decreased from 4.9 (2.1) at the baseline to 3.1 (2.0) at the first follow-up and remained unchanged until the second follow-up. Conclusions: One-to-one dental education improved children's oral self-care skills, diet-related knowledge, and diet behavior. The post-educational improvements were maintained for 6 months in older children but not in the younger children.
