Abstract
Introduction: maintaining good oral health and avoiding avoidable dental diseases require optimal oral health behaviors. The purpose of this study was to assess how well a digital oral health intervention changed oral healthrelated knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Materials and method: two research involving 200 healthy people were carried out. Before and after the know your oqtm intervention was finished, demographic information and oral health-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (kaps) were gathered. There were 19 multiple-choice questions on the kaps questionnaire. Feedback and comprehension were also gathered. Result: the two investigations were completed by 100 (50%) female participants and 100 (50%) male individuals. Five out of seven knowledge questions and two out of five attitude questions in both studies shown significant changes before and after the intervention, with participants' attitudes and knowledge regarding oral health improving. Four of the seven practice questions in the second study showed substantial changes before and after the intervention, whereas only one practice altered in the first study. In all cases, the intervention received generally positive response and was highly comprehensible. Conclusion: a digital oral health intervention was successful in increasing knowledge, changing attitudes and self-reported practices with regards to oral health in a diverse sample of the urban population.
