The increase in the number of clinical cases with varying levels of damage to dental structures among young adults due to caries and excessive consumption of sweets and acidic beverages leads to questions about why there is an increase of cases despite all means of information. Is there a lack of interest in oral health among young adults? The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and skills level of the students regarding oral health in order to conceive and implement an oral health educational program adapted to their needs and interests. The survey method using a questionnaire was administered to students in the first, second, and third academic year at the "Ferdinand I" Military Technical Academy (Bucharest, Romania) in March 2019 and included general data and specific information about oral health. We noted a relatively high participation in this study (73.91% agreed), although 71% have not participated in campaigns and training programs about oral health. The participants showed a high degree of interest in dental aesthetics, although 59% consider dental caries to be the main problem affecting their oral-dental health. It is imperative to introduce an educational module regarding oral health for military students, and not only, in order to materialize knowledge by adopting healthy attitudes and behaviors, avoiding high financial and biological costs for both the patient and the healthcare system.
由于龋齿和过量食用甜食和酸性饮料，年轻人中牙齿结构受损程度不同的临床病例数量增加，这引发了一个问题，即尽管有各种信息手段，为什么病例还在增加。年轻人对口腔健康的关注是否有所减少？本研究旨在评估学生对口腔健康的知识和技能水平，以便根据他们的需求和兴趣制定和实施口腔健康教育计划。该调查方法于 2019 年 3 月在罗马尼亚布加勒斯特的“费迪南德一世”军事技术学院（"Ferdinand I" Military Technical Academy）对一年级、二年级和三年级的学生进行了问卷调查，问卷包括一般数据和口腔健康的具体信息。我们注意到，尽管有 71%的人没有参加过口腔健康宣传和培训活动，但这项研究的参与度相对较高（73.91%的人表示同意）。参与者对牙齿美学表现出高度的兴趣，尽管 59%的人认为龋齿是影响他们口腔健康的主要问题。为了让军事学生以及其他学生掌握知识，采取健康的态度和行为，避免患者和医疗系统承担高昂的经济和生物成本，引入口腔健康教育模块是当务之急。
