Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term effect of school-based oral health program on decrease of dental caries among elementary school children. The subjects of this study were total 727 students of one elementary school in Deagu, Korea. They had received school-based oral health programs for more than one year since 2004. This school-based oral health program included regular oral examination, fluoride mouth-rinsing, pit-and-fissure sealing, APF gel application, tooth brushing instruction and take the xylitol tablet after lunch during school days. The subjects' oral health status were examined by two calibrated dentists every year from 2004 to 2009. The DMFS index of $1^{st}$ grade to $6^{th}$ grade experimental and control group was 0.07, 0.39, 0.55, 0.67, 0.81, 1.79 and 0.31, 0.86, 1.07, 1.04, 2.71, 3.08 respectively. It's significantly different in $5^{th}$ grade(p<0.001) and $6^{th}$ grade(p=0.018) when it compare with control group. This study partially showed effect of school-based oral health programs on decrements of dental caries. This program should be expanded widely among elementary school in Korea.
