Variant to measure the level of development of preschool children about oral hygiene

Abstract

Pedagogical situations were done to carry out descriptive and evaluative studies as variants to measure the level of development of pre-school children about oral hygiene, in order to make an instrument taking into account the characteristics of this age group, diagnose, oral hygiene habits or evaluate the feasibility of an intervention strategy applied to modify modes and lifestyles. It was also considered that the means that can be applied in research of any branch of the stomatology to the children of these ages are insufficient, and the surveys and interviews that would not allow capturing the reality of the infants in the development that they possess should be ignored. It is new in providing a useful tool to measure with more credibility and with certainty the level of development of oral hygiene in children.
