However, the long-term efficacy of these initiatives is yet unknown.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Over the course of a year, 500 children between the ages of 6 and 12 years participated in prospective observational research. Two groups of 250 participants each\u2014the intervention group and the control group\u2014were created. While the control group only got basic oral health information, the intervention group participated in a full program aimed at promoting oral health. Over the course of 2 years, baseline data on the participants\u2019 oral health condition were gathered, and follow-up evaluations were carried out every 6 months.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n At the 12-month follow-up, the intervention group showed a substantial decrease in dental caries prevalence (15.2% vs. 23.6%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001) as compared to the control group. In addition, the intervention group showed better oral hygiene habits than the control group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001), such as decreased plaque index and more frequent brushing. In conclusion, school-based initiatives to promote oral health are successful in enhancing children\u2019s and adolescents\u2019 long-term dental health outcomes. These initiatives are essential in lowering the prevalence of dental caries and encouraging good oral hygiene habits. Ensuring the long-term dental health and well-being of future generations requires sustained investment in school-based oral health promotion efforts.\n <\/jats:p>\n
