Different educational methods play an important role in oral hygiene education programs. This study aims to evaluate the impact of various educational methods on the oral hygiene knowledge of primary school children.
A total of 490 primary school students participated in this cross-sectional study. The students were assigned to one of three groups: a verbal explanation group, an animation group, or a peer-led reels group. Before and after the intervention, the students completed questionnaires assessing their oral hygiene knowledge.
A significant increase was observed in the post-educational knowledge levels of the children in three educational methods (p < 0.001). The study found that the main effect of educational methods was statistically significant (p < 0.001). However, effects of gender, and tablet/mobile phone use, respectively, were not statistically significant (p = 0.694, p = 0.641). The animation group (6.73) and the verbal expression group (6.57) had the highest post-training knowledge levels, respectively, while the peer-led reels group had the lowest (5.95) (p < 0.001).
All three educational methods are effective in promoting oral hygiene, but due to the accessibility and consumption of information in the current technological era, animation videos may be more useful and suitable for modern education.

不同的教育方法在口腔卫生教育项目中发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在评估各种教育方法对小学生口腔卫生知识的影响。
共有490名小学生参与了这项横断面研究。学生们被分配到三个组中的一组：口头解释组、动画组或同伴主导的短片组。在干预前后，学生们完成了评估他们口腔卫生知识的问卷。
在三种教育方法中，孩子们在教育后的知识水平均有显著提高（p < 0.001）。研究发现教育方法的主要效应具有统计学意义（p < 0.001）。然而，性别和使用平板电脑/手机的影响分别不具有统计学意义（p = 0.694，p = 0.641）。动画组（6.73）和口头表达组（6.57）的培训后知识水平分别最高，而同伴主导的短片组最低（5.95）（p < 0.001）。
所有三种教育方法在促进口腔卫生方面都是有效的，但由于当前技术时代信息的可获取性和消费情况，动画视频可能对现代教育更有用且更合适。
