The family income of students entering the University suggests that they should be aware of basic rules of oral hygiene. Thus, oral hygiene was evaluated in a study conducted on 336 1st-year students enrolled in the Pharmacy and Dentistry Course of Ribeirão Preto, USP. The results showed that 42% of the students consult a dentist twice a year; the frequency of tooth brushing was four times a day, with no difference between the use of soft (48%) and medium (49%) brushes, and brushing time was 1 to 5 min. The students use dental floss (87%) and rinse their mouth with Cepacol (37%), and females brush their tongue at higher frequency (70%). Fifty-two percent of the students reported the occurrence of gingival bleeding when they brush their teeth.
进入大学的学生家庭收入表明他们应该了解口腔卫生的基本规则。因此，在一项针对336名就读于圣保罗大学皮拉西卡巴分校药学与牙科学课程的一年级学生的研究中对口腔卫生进行了评估。结果显示，42%的学生每年看两次牙医；刷牙频率为每天四次，使用软毛牙刷（48%）和中毛牙刷（49%）之间没有差异，刷牙时间为1至5分钟。学生使用牙线的比例为87%，用西吡氯铵漱口的比例为37%，女性刷牙时刷舌头的频率更高（70%）。52%的学生报告刷牙时出现牙龈出血。
