Questionnaires were conducted under observation. The first questionnaire (Q1) included socio\u2010demographic characteristics, OH knowledge level, attitudes and behaviours. One month after the OH training was given to the students, the same questions in Q1 were asked again in the second questionnaire (Q2). Dental caries and Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI\u2010S) status were determined by a dentist via a clinical oral examination.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 445 students, 416 (93.5%) participated in the study and completed the Q1 and Q2 questionnaires. A total of 277 (66.6%) students were female and 139 (33.4%) were male, with the age range being 17\u201033\u00a0years (average: 19.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.86\u00a0years). Of the 416 students who answered the Q1 and Q2 questionnaires, 385 received oral examinations. While the Q1 knowledge score was 7.06\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.08, the Q2 was found to be 12.36\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.90 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001). It was seen that 119 (30.9%) students who had poor OHI\u2010S and 120 (31.2%), had a mean number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) value of 6 and above. It was found that the females had better OH values \u200b\u200bthan males (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) and smokers had worse OH values overall
