Abstract

Objective: This clinical trial was to determine the correlation between oral hygiene indicated by the OHIS index, before and after topical fluoride administration. Materials and methods: To determine oral hygiene, the OHIS index was measured and carried out at the Paedodontic Section of RSGM Baiturrahmah with a sample of 20 pediatric patients aged 5-6 years. Results: There was a statistically significant increase in OHIS in the treatment group with the topical application of fluoride. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the level of oral hygiene can be improved if the topical application of fluoride is given to children. Topical fluoride has a positive effect in reducing caries.
