Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The plaque index score in the study of the effect of education through brochures, educational film and lecture. Timepoint: Measuring plaque index at baseline (before the study), one day after training and two weeks after training. Method of measurement: The measurement of the state of oral hygiene by Silness-Löe plaque index is based on recording both soft debris and mineralized deposits on the following teeth.Each of the four surfaces of the teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial and distal) is given a score from 0-3. The scores from the four areas of the tooth are added and divided by four in order to give the plaque index for the tooth with the following scores and criteria:0_No plaque, 1_A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be seen in situ only after application of disclosing solution or by using the probe on the tooth surface, 2_Moderate accumulation of soft deposit s within the gingival pocket, or the tooth and gingival margin which can be seen with the naked eye, 3_Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the tooth and gingival margin.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The Effect of Health Education on Oral Health of Children. Timepoint: Measuring the plaque index before health education (first session), one day after training (second session), two weeks after training (third session). Method of measurement: Silness and loe index.
