Abstract
This quasi-experimental research was designed to study the effectiveness of an oral health care program in secondary school students with dental braces. Health belief model and Self efficacy theory were applied in this program. Two schools with similar features were selected by a random sampling as the studied groups. The experimental group was 41 students with dental braces from one school. The comparison group consisted of 41 students with dental braces from the other. The experimental group received oral health care program while the comparison group did not receive this program. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaires, plague record, tooth brushing technique assessment form, self-oral health and braces check-up assessment form and the oral care behavioral assessment form. Data analysis was done by computing percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, Paired sample t-test, independent t-test. The results showed that the experimental group had a significantly higher level of knowledge about oral disease and oral health, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits and barriers, perceived cues of actions, perceived self efficacy, tooth brushing technique, self-oral braces checking, food consumption behavior for oral health and dental plague reduction level than before receiving the program and better than the comparison group (p<0.05). From the research results, it was shown that this program was effective in changing the oral health care behavior and lowering the dental plague level in the students with dental braces. Thus, this type of program should be applied for promoting oral health care of other groups of students with dental braces
