- Abstract
Aim The purpose of this longitudinal study was to investigate whether self-efficacy scale for self-care ( SESS) was related to changes in oral health behaviours and progression of periodontal disease in Japanese university students. Material and Methods Students ( n = 533) who were interested in receiving oral health examinations before entering the university and before graduation were included in the analysis. Self-efficacy was assessed using SESS, which uses three subscales: self-efficacy for brushing of the teeth ( SE- BR), for dentist consultations ( SE- DC) and for dietary habits. The informations about oral health behaviours were also collected. For all participants, oral hygiene instructions was performed at baseline. After 3 years, the oral health behaviours and the periodontal condition were re-assessed. Results The progression of periodontal disease was related to low baseline SE- BR. Logistic regression analysis showed that progression of periodontal disease risk during a 3-year period was associated with low baseline SE- BR ( OR: 1.516; 95% CI: 1.010-2.275; p < 0.05). The increase in the score of SE- DC was related to the increase in regular dental checkups ( p < 0.05). Conclusion Low SESS was associated with progression of periodontal disease and improvement of oral health behaviours in university students who received oral hygiene instructions at baseline.
