AIM
To assess the effects of an oral health education strategy targeted at students with disabilities.
METHODS
This quasi-experimental study included students aged 7 to 24 years. The intervention was conducted for 5 weeks and divided into 2 phases: (1) comprising supervised toothbrushing and educational activities to students; (2) verbal oral health instructions and oral hygiene demonstration targeted at the caregivers. A clinical examination was conducted to evaluate the dental debris and gingival bleeding before the intervention, and the Wilcoxon test was performed after phase 1 and 2 for comparisons between paired samples.
RESULTS
A significant decrease in dental debris and gingival indices compared with baseline occurred after phase 1 (p < 0.05). After the meeting with caregivers (phase 2), there was significant decrease in the debris-index (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Providing a simple and short-term educational intervention to students with disabilities had a positive impact on their oral health.
目的
评估针对残疾学生的口腔健康教育策略的效果。
方法
这项准实验研究纳入了7至24岁的学生。干预为期5周，分为两个阶段：（1）包括监督学生刷牙及开展教育活动；（2）针对照顾者进行口头口腔健康指导和口腔卫生示范。在干预前进行临床检查以评估牙菌斑和牙龈出血情况，并在第1阶段和第2阶段后进行Wilcoxon检验以比较配对样本。
结果
第1阶段后，与基线相比，牙菌斑和牙龈指数显著降低（p < 0.05）。与照顾者沟通后（第2阶段），牙菌斑指数显著降低（p < 0.05）。
结论
为残疾学生提供简单的短期教育干预对他们的口腔健康有积极影响。
