schools at Goksunggun in Chonnam area. Fluoride mouthrinsing was executed with 0.2% neutral sodium fluoride solution once a week. After 1 year's fluoride mouthrinsing project, DMFT index, DMF rate frequencies of toothbruching, simplified oral
hygiene
index, and the responses to fluoride mouthrinsing project of the school children participated were examined.

3. Control group was increased higher than fluoride mouthrinsing group in simplified oral hygiene index.
4. Toothbrushing frequencies increased in both groups.
5. 80.4% of school children participated in fluoride mouthrinsing project was responded to like it. and 78.2% among them was responded the project to be beneficial for their dental health.
