The PLAQUE INDEX of all the patients was measured by an examiner on the base of O’Leary PLAQUE INDEX. After comparing the pre and post oral health questionnaires, changes in the rate of ATTITUDE, AWARENESS and PRACTICE of patients were analyzed with paired t-test.Results: One month after ORAL HYGIENE INSTRUCTION, the patients’ AWARENESS and ATTITUDE increased by 46% (p=0.021) and 123% (p=0.018) respectively. The PLAQUE INDEX decreased by 43.27% (p=0.018). All of the parameters showed a significant difference from baseline (p<0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study showed that repeated ORAL HYGIENE INSTRUCTION makes a significant improvement on the amount of AWARENESS, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE of patients in relation to plaque control.
