April 1 to July 15, 2011. Surveyed data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, χ2-test, t-test and one-way ANOVA using SPSS WIN 12.0 program and its signification level was 0.05. The following shows the results of this study.
Results: In the event of those who didn’t use oral hygiene supplies, the largest group didn’t use the devices since they didn’t know about them well or they didn’t need to use.
