Effectiveness of an Oral Health Promotion Program in Infant's Tooth Brushing and Bottle-feeding Termination Practices: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Infant oral health promotion package and Infant oral health pamphlet for Infant's Tooth Brushing. Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Governmental initiatives (such as Sure Start in the UK) have integrated an oral health promotion intervention within their maternal and child health program and delivered dental education and enabling resources (a gift bag including a baby toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste and a trainer cup) to infant's mothers. Whilst this approach has minimal financial implications of human resources, no evidence exists regarding its effectiveness in establishing desirable infant's oral health behaviours. In Syria, there is a great need for developing an infant's oral health promotion program to promote oral hygiene practice, provide access to fluoride and terminate bottle-feeding practice. Thus, the current study aimed to test the effectiveness of an integrated infant's oral health promotion intervention within the Syrian national immunization program, which delivered printed dental education materials, a baby tooth brush, fluoride toothpaste (1000 ppm) and a trainer cup, in establishing one-year old infant's oral hygiene and bottle-feeing termination practices.
