The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of e-learning contents of oral health education on the oral hygiene management ability of preschool children. The subjects were under 4-year-old infants. We used e-learning oral health education contents and conducted preliminary questionnaires with subjects’ parents. Patient hygiene performance (PHP) index, learning evaluation, and blogs were also used for the study. The statistical analysis were as follows: general characteristics of the subjects, oral care behaviors of infants, parents’ oral health knowledge behaviors. To evaluate oral health knowledge of infants, frequency and percentage were calculated and a frequency analysis was performed. Also, a paired samples t-test was conducted to test the changes in the oral environment management ability (PHP index) before and after oral health education through the use of e-learning contents. The result of this study was as follows: First, after the e-learning education evaluation, the correctness rate exceeded 70% and the knowledge of oral health knowledge of infants increased. The PHP index before and after oral health education was 2.03 and 1.48, which appears to be a significant difference (p=0.001). Thus, it was confirmed that education through e-learning contents was effective, and the ability of children to manage their oral environment was improved. By using e-learning educational contents, it was determined that children could easily understand contents and through friendly and fun contents improve oral hygiene management ability.
