CARIES
Our study was conducted to evaluate the long-term impact of an oral health promotion intervention program including supervised toothbrushing and parents’ education on the oral health status of schoolchildren aged 6–7 years old. The children in the intervention group had less caries in deciduous molar teeth and a better oral hygiene status compared to children in the control group. In the intervention group, the changes in the parents’ attitude and the children’s behavior were marginally significant. The oral health related knowledge and self-reported behavior of parents in the intervention group did not improve significantly.
