OBJECTIVES
To assess and evaluate the knowledge, awareness, and usage of inter-dental aids among the patients visiting a dental hospital.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among patients using a questionnaire for evaluation of routine oral hygiene regimens.
RESULTS
89% of patients brush their teeth only once a day. 77% of patients do not use any inter-dental aid, while 76% of patients are unaware about inter-dental aids.
CONCLUSION
A very small part of the population is aware about the importance of using inter-dental aids in maintaining proper oral hygiene. Dentists play a key role in educating the society and encouraging them to use other aids apart from toothbrushes to prevent oral diseases.
目的
评估和评价前往牙科医院就诊的患者对牙间清洁辅助工具的知识、认知及使用情况。
材料与方法
采用问卷调查评估常规口腔卫生习惯，对患者开展横断面描述性研究。
结果
89%的患者每天仅刷牙一次。77%的患者未使用任何牙间清洁辅助工具，76%的患者对牙间清洁辅助工具并不了解。
结论
仅有极少部分人群意识到使用牙间清洁辅助工具对保持口腔卫生的重要性。牙医在教育公众并鼓励他们使用除牙刷之外的其他辅助工具预防口腔疾病方面发挥着关键作用。
