dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of “Community Oral and Dental Health”\rcourse on the oral and dental health awareness of nursing students from two different faculties.\rMaterials and Methods: 164 nursing students who took “Community Oral and Dental Health”\rcourse at Kırıkkale University and 230 nursing students from Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University\rwho did not take the same course were subjected to the questionnaire. The questionnaire\rconsisted of multiple choice questions based on oral and dental health awareness. The statistical\ranalysis was performed with Pearson or Fisher’s exact chi square tests.\rResults: Although, there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the\rmouthwash and dental floss use, there was a statistically significant difference between tooth\rbrushing habits of the students (p<0.05). Also, the groups' awareness of the symptoms and\raffective factors of periodontal diseases did not indicate statistically significant differences (p>0.05).\rThe concept “Children who have dental caries in their mothers are more likely to have it” was better\rknown by the students taking the course (p<0.001). There was a statistically significant difference\rbetween two groups in terms of the cause of dental caries (being infected with caries bacteria at an\rearly age, p=0.001).\rConclusions: The oral and dental health awareness increased among nursing students taking the\r“Community Oral and Dental Health” course. Since, the nurses are potential candidates for public\rhealth education and even oral health assessments, inclusion of this course in the nursing\rcurriculum will increase public awareness and improve oral health.
