Objectives:The objectives of the study were to describe oral health status of 12-year old schoolchildren, to evaluate the pattern of oral health behaviour and oral care attitude.Methods:The children aged 12 years old were clinically examined according to the WHO basic methods and responded to standardized questionnaires on oral health behaviour, knowledge, and attitudes.Results:In 12 years old children, the prevalence rate of dental caries was 22% with the mean DMFT being 0.40 for permanent teeth.Only 31 per cent children brushed their teeth at least twice a day and 17 per cent had seen a dentist within the past year.The children living in the central city and with a high education level among their mothers showed higher percentages of positive attitudes to dental care,use of fluoridated toothpaste, toothbrushing at least twice a day and dental visiting habits than those living in periurban areas and with a relatively low education level among their mothers.Conclusions:Oral health education and oral health care programmes should be established in primary and secondary schools.
