Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was conducted on 150 subjects, who participated in ‘the comprehensive clinical dental hygiene management program’ for 10 months (Mar-Dec 2015) at the department of dental hygiene of D University. The clinical dental hygiene management consists of dental hygiene assessment, judgment, care plan, and implementation. The study compared the changes in oral hygiene status depending on the motivation of subjects and analyzed the effect of the program on dental hygiene activities. When a subject self-evaluates the dental health status, the degree of motivation increased as the dental health condition evaluation index was lower (p=0.019) and the duration of toothbrushing increased (p=0.039). However, other factors did not have a significant effect on motivation.
