Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth brushing and to investigate oral health status among Albanian children. Materials and Methods: The mean age of all children (n=159) was 12.9±2.0. Self-reported questionnaire were registered about oral health education level and oral health behavior. Oral examination was evaluated with decayed teeth, missing teeth and filled teeth. Plaque index was examined with disclosing agent for baseline, 1 week and 2 week respectively. Tooth brushing instruction was done individually by dentist. All collected data were analyzed using SPSS 12.0 program. Results: DMFT index (the number of decayed, missing and filled teeth) of 159 children was 4.8±4.4. Dt rate (100×the number of decayed teeth/DMFT index) (%) was 82.0 ±27.9. Mt rate (100×the number of missing teeth/DMFT index) (%) was 6.3±14.7. 15.1% children knew the role of teeth, 67.9% children knew the cause of dental caries and 14.5% children knew the effect of Fluoride against dental caries. Plaque index was reduced after individual tooth brushing instruction (p<0.01). Conclusion: In conclusion, this study suggests that oral health education and tooth brushing instruction are needed to improve oral health in Albania.
