尽管已做出努力，但龋齿在发达国家仍很普遍；由于饮食变化，龋齿在发展中国家有所增加。本研究的目的是评估教育干预对恰巴哈尔市学生口腔健康的影响。
本准实验研究对从恰巴哈尔市各学校通过系统整群抽样选取的200名学生进行（病例组和对照组各100名学生）。在干预前（即进行口腔健康讲座前）、干预后即刻及3个月后使用问卷收集数据。使用SPSS 11版软件进行数据分析。
参与者的平均年龄为11.3±1.3岁。研究结果表明，干预后病例组的口腔自我护理行为发生率相比对照组显著增加（病例组每天刷牙两次的比例为69%，使用牙线的比例为34%，使用漱口水的比例为69%，定期看牙医的比例为6%；而对照组分别为47%（p<0.002）、14%（p<0.001）、57%（p<0.03）和5%（p<0.007））。
讲座是促进口腔健康预防行为的一种有效且廉价的方法，尤其在恰巴哈尔市这样的贫困地区。
