The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a dental health education program providing dental health information and toothbrushing instruction on oral cleanliness. Two methods of instruction, individual and group instruction, are presented in this study. The plaque situation was assessed in a group of 175 children, 11-14 years of age, by the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) method at the beginning of the study and at 1, 2, and 12 months. It was found that immediately after instruction the dental health education program resulted in improved oral hygiene home care for the two experimental groups. However, the improvement noted was achieved regardless of the method of toothbrushing instruction (individual versus group). Moreover, it was demonstrated that maintenance of a satisfactory level of oral hygiene home care was dependent upon review of educational programs and toothbrushing instruction and not related to the method of instruction.
本研究的目的是检验一项提供口腔卫生信息和刷牙指导的口腔健康教育项目对口腔清洁的有效性。本研究介绍了两种指导方法，即个体指导和小组指导。在研究开始时以及第1、2和12个月，采用患者卫生表现（PHP）方法对一组175名11至14岁的儿童的牙菌斑情况进行了评估。结果发现，在指导后，口腔健康教育项目立即使两个实验组的家庭口腔卫生护理得到改善。然而，无论刷牙指导方法（个体指导与小组指导）如何，均实现了上述改善。此外，研究表明，维持令人满意的家庭口腔卫生护理水平取决于对教育项目和刷牙指导的复习，而与指导方法无关。
