The children were divided into two groups: the research group (received oral health education) and the control group (received no intervention). Data were collected on dental caries prevalence, oral hygiene practices, and caries risk factors at baseline and after six months. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare caries prevalence before and after the intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
