Abstract
Dental health education only improves oral health for a short period of time. The aim of this two-group quasi-experimental study was to explore the effects of sense of coherence intervention on plaque level and gingival status in the long run. One hundred and ninety one students aged between 11 to 13 years old participated. The test group received a sense of coherence intervention while the control group received normal school programme. Plaque level, gingival status and sense of coherence were recorded. Plaque levels at baseline between the test group and control group were not different (mean 1.34 (SD=0.43), mean 1.35 (SD=0.49) respectively, p=0.87), at 1 week follow up plaque level was statistically lower in the test group (mean 0.73 (SD=0.27), mean 1.08 (SD=0.38) respectively, p<0.001). At 1 month follow up plaque level was statistically lower in the test group (mean 0.93 (SD=0.23), mean 1.07 (SD=0.20) respectively, p<0.001). Gingival status at baseline between the test group and control group were not different (mean 1.42 (SD=0.44), mean 1.44 (SD=0.55) respectively, p=0.76), at 1 week follow up gingival status was statistically better in the test group (mean 0.84 (SD=0.38), mean 1.40 (SD=0.43) respectively, p<0.001). At 1 month follow up gingival status was statistically better in the test group (mean 0.95 (SD=0.35), mean 1.16 (SD=0.33) respectively, p<0.001).Sense of coherence at baseline were not different between the test and control group (mean 57.00 (SD=9.47), mean 56.81 (SD=10.86) respectively, p=0.90) at 1 week follow up the test group had statistically higher sense of coherence (mean 59.96 (SD=10.80), mean 56.47 (SD=11.74) respectively, p=0.03), at 1 month follow up the test group had statistically higher sense of coherence (mean 59.62 (SD=11.26), mean 55.58 (SD=12.37) respectively, p=0.02). The effects of sense of coherence intervention on oral health promotion remained after the intervention completed for at least one month.
