PERSONAL FACTORS IN DENTAL DISEASE PREVENTION: I. A TEST TO MEASURE DENTAL HEALTH KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

A dental health knowledge test was devised and was evaluated in 106 Submarine School students. Criteria of evaluation consisted of response distribution spreads, and objectively evaluated gingivitis and oral hygiene. A test score, derived from selected questions, was found to be significantly correlated with the objectively assessed health factors. It is concluded that the dental health knowledge test can be used in the Navy preventive dentistry studies.
