the purpose of this study was to evaluate students' level of knowledge and attitude towards oral hygiene. the evaluation was carried out by a questionnaire, with 30 Q (questions) as follows: demographic data (Q1-Q5), oral hygiene knowledge data (Q6-Q23) and oral hygiene attitude data (Q24-Q30). The study included students from Romanian schools and the selection of the study group was made following selection criteria in accordance with ethical issues. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed and a value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. the study included a number of 718 subjects with a mean age of 14.54 (±2.22), male 250 (34.8%) and female 468 (65.2%), MS (middle school students) 354 (49.4%) and HH (high school students) 364 (50.6%). Most of the subjects 292 (MS = 160; HS = 132) know a toothbrushing technique, = 0.009, r = 0.091 and 587 (MS = 278; HS = 309) know that brushing removes the bacterial plaque = 0.027, r = -0.082 but only 147 (MS = 71; HS = 76) know that (by) brushing can re-mineralize hard dental structures. The duration of the toothbrushing is variable, for 2- or 3-min = 0.058, r = 0.043. Criteria for choosing the toothbrush were based mainly on the indications of the dentist, respectively, for toothpaste on its properties. The frequency of toothbrushing is mainly twice a day 428 (MS = 234; HS = 248), = 0.079, r = 0.037, 73 (MS = 33; HS = 40) after every meal. = 0.099, r = 0.095. Mouthwash is used by 421 (MS = 199; HS = 222) = 0.111, r = -0.048, and 228 (MS = 199; HS = 222) after each brushing. Dental floss is used by 240 (MS = 106; HS = 134), = 0.031, r = -0.073 and only 74 (MS = 41; HS = 33) after each brushing. there are differences in the level of knowledge and attitudes regarding the determinants of oral hygiene depending on the level of education.
本研究旨在评估学生对口腔卫生的知识水平和态度。评估采用问卷形式进行，共有 30 个问题（Q1-Q30）：人口统计学数据（Q1-Q5）、口腔卫生知识数据（Q6-Q23）和口腔卫生态度数据（Q24-Q30）。该研究包括罗马尼亚学校的学生，研究组的选择是根据伦理问题按照选择标准进行的。进行了描述性统计分析，认为 ≤ 0.05 的值具有统计学意义。该研究共纳入 718 名受试者，平均年龄为 14.54（±2.22）岁，男性 250 名（34.8%），女性 468 名（65.2%），中学生（MS）354 名（49.4%）和高中生（HH）364 名（50.6%）。大多数受试者 292 名（MS = 160；HS = 132）知道刷牙技术，= 0.009，r = 0.091，587 名（MS = 278；HS = 309）知道刷牙可以去除细菌斑块，= 0.027，r = -0.082，但只有 147 名（MS = 71；HS = 76）知道刷牙可以再矿化硬牙结构。刷牙时间长短不一，2-3 分钟的比例为 0.058，r = 0.043。选择牙刷的标准主要基于牙医的建议，分别针对牙膏的特性。刷牙频率主要为每天两次 428 次（MS = 234；HS = 248），= 0.079，r = 0.037，73 次（MS = 33；HS = 40）每餐之后。= 0.099，r = 0.095。有 421 名（MS = 199；HS = 222）受试者使用漱口水，= 0.111，r = -0.048，有 228 名（MS = 199；HS = 222）在每次刷牙后使用。有 240 名（MS = 106；HS = 134）受试者使用牙线，= 0.031，r = -0.073，只有 74 名（MS = 41；HS = 33）在每次刷牙后使用。不同教育水平的口腔卫生知识和态度存在差异。
