“…Results of our study indicated that attitude scores significantly increased in the experimental group after the intervention compared to the control group. Consistent with our findings, the improvement of attitude for the OH was also seen in other studies in similar settings including Bangladesh [57] and India [58]. Previous research indicated an increase or improvement in action planning for OH as key to achieving optimal behavior in the field of OH [59].…”

Background Good oral health (OH) is essential for physical, social, mental health, and overall quality of life. This study assessed the usefulness of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in changing oral health-related behaviors among school children aged 11–13 years in Saveh, Iran. Methods In this descriptive before and after study, participants were sixth-grade students at single sex primary schools in Saveh city, Iran. We recruited 356 school children in 2019. Using simple random sampling, a male and a female school per district were allocated to the experimental group and the remaining schools to the control group. Our planned oral health education consisted of four one-hour training sessions over 1 week. The first session familiarized the participants with important information about OH. In the second session, we applied a brain storming exercise to identify the benefits and barriers to flossing and brushing. In the third session, a short film about correct brushing and dental flossing technique was shown and research team also used role-playing to correct any mistakes. In the final session students were taught about the importance and the application of OH planning and given forms to help plan for brushing. Results Participants for the study included 356 students (180 in the experimental group and 176 in the control group) who completed the post-test questionnaire. The mean age ± standard deviation was 11.55 years ±0.93 in the experimental group and 11.58 years ±1.01 in the control group. After the intervention, the paired t-test indicated a significant difference between the mean and standard deviation of the action plan and coping plan constructs in the experimental group before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). Covariance analysis indicated a significant difference between scores of intervention and control groups under statistical control of post-test in two groups (covariate) after a peer-led education program (post-test) (p < 0.05). Conclusion A shortage of professional health workers in education settings together with the ease, usefulness and low-cost of this peer-led method, suggest further steps should be taken to implement it more widely to improve and enhance primary school aged students’ oral health behavior.

“…Ağız sağlığı eğitiminde öğretmenlerin etkinliklerinin değerlendirildiği bir çalışmada, 6-12 yaş okul çocuklarının bilgi seviyesi ve ağız hijyeni gelişiminde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir artış, plak sevilerinde bir azalma gözlendiği, bununla birlikte bu gelişmenin okula yeni başlayan küçük yaş grubunda çok daha az olduğu bildirilmiştir. 25 Yapılan çalışmada eğitim sonrası kontrol grubunda ağız hijyeninde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmayan bir düzelme gözlenirken, plak seviyesi benzer olarak bulunmuştur. Öğretmenlerin eğitim verdiği çocuklarda da benzer sonuçlar elde edilmesi, eğitimin görsel, işitsel ve uygulamalı olması ve tekrarlanarak yapılması durumunda dahi küçük yaş grubunda yeterli olmadığını düşündürmektedir.…”

Aim: The purpose of the study is to comparison of the effectiveness of teachers and dentists in oral health education for 6-7 year old children affected by their families. Material and Methods: The 160 children who attended to primary school were divided into two groups, in this study. The teacher gave oral dental health education to group A, the dentist gave to group B. Oral hygiene, plaque index, deft index (decayed extracted filled primary tooth), def-s index (decayed extracted filled primary tooth surface), DMF-T index (decayed extracted filled permanent tooth) and DMF-S index (decayed extracted filled permanent tooth surface) were evaluted before and after oral health education. The differences between the educations given by the teacher and the dentists were evaluated. Results: After education oral hygiene improved in both groups, plaque index value did not decrease. The values of deft , def-s, DMF-T and DMF-S index were similar before and after oral health education. There was no difference between the oral health education by the school teacher and the dentist considering these index values. Conclusions: It was concluded that oral health education was provided by school teachers and dentist was similar and that the school teachers were suitable for oral health education. It is believed that there is a need for further work to be carried out at regular intervals, where the teacher and family take part.
