Abstract

One-session oral-health workshop was targeted at 770 parents and 60 caregivers of 0-5-year-old low-income children. Lower plaque scores (Silness & Löe-modified index) were observed in test-group-(TG) children after 1 and 6-months (Median=0) than control-group-(CG) (Median=1)(p<0.05), with a significant improvement from baseline among the TG (p<0.05). The questionnaire showed improvement in the TG parents/caregivers' knowledge after 1- 6-months regarding white-spot lesion visual recognition; with respect to the practices, these improved after 1-6 but decreased after 6-months.
