First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new oral health education program called MyBRUSH in 176 twelve-year-old children in Sabah, Malaysia. The goal was to see if it improves their knowledge, attitude, and habits about using toothpaste and brushing teeth, and also reduces dental plaque. One group received the MyBRUSH module, while the other group received the standard brushing module. Researchers measured changes using questionnaires and plaque scores over several months.
