To assess the effectiveness of outreach program in the 12 years school going children during a three year follow up period of Lucknow city.
A random sample of 298 school going children of age 12 years was drawn from adopted schools of Lucknow. Three years later the same population was re-examined with a population of 242 children of 15 y age group. The oral health status of these children was accessed by using WHO 1997 profoma.
Significantly (p<0.001) higher proportion of children had healthy gingival, healthy periodontal status after three years. The difference in regard to crowding in the incisal segment in 2010 and 2013 was statistically highly significant (p<0.001).
The findings of the study showed that after providing regular dental check up and treatment camps in the three adopted schools after three year follow up study from 2010-2013 showed positive impact on the children oral hygiene status and has been estimated to be on the more positive aspect in future also.

三年后,有显著更高比例(p<0.001)的儿童牙龈健康、牙周状况良好。2010年和2013年切牙段拥挤情况的差异在统计学上具有高度显著性(p<0.001)。
