Abstrakt		Background: The oral health of children is influenced by their parents' knowledge of dental prevention. Dental health education is important already in the prenatal period. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted in a group of expectant parents with the aims to evaluate the subjects' knowledge about dental health, identify possible factors that might influence this knowledge, and assess the benefit derived from a one-hour lecture on the maintenance of oral health. Subjects and methods: Questionnaire 1, consisting of eight multiple-choice questions on gingival bleeding, dental plaque, oral hygiene in children, infant nutrition, fluorides, first visit to the dentist, oral hygiene devices and cariogenic foods, was administered to 807 expectant parents (553 women and 254 men) who gathered to attend a lecture on the maintenance of oral health, offered as part of a parenting class. Questionnaire 2, containing six questions from Questionnaire 1 and two additional questions about sweet drinks and oral habits, was completed by 575 expectant parents (413 women and 162 men) seven to 14 days after the lecture. Results. In Questionnaire 1, the percentage of correct answers to individual questions ranged between 46.8 and 99.8%, with the exception of the question on periodontal health, which was answered correctly by only 37.8% of respondents. In Questionnaire 2, the rate of correct answers to individual questions was between 62.1 and 96.9%. Besides the lecture, none of the factors evaluated in the study appeared to have a significant influence on the subjects' knowledge of oral health. Conclusion: The study participants displayed a comparatively high, though uneven, level of knowledge about various topics relevant to oral health. Their knowledge increased significantly after dental health education provided in the form of a one-hour lecture. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
Izvleček		Izhodišče: Znanje staršev s področja zobozdravstvene preventive vpliva na ustno zdravje otrok. Zobozdravstvena prosveta je pomembna že v predporodnem obdobju. Želeli smo ugotoviti zobozdravstveno prosvetfjenost udeležencev šole za starše, s tem povezane dejavnike in vpliv enournega predavanja o skrbi za ustno zdravje. Preiskovanci in metode: Vprašalnik 1, na katerega je 807 bodočih staršev (553 žensk in 254 moških) odgovarjalo pred predavanjem o skrbi za ustno zdravje, je vseboval osem vprašanj zaprtega tipa o krvavitvi iz dlesne, zobnih oblogah, čiščenju zob pri otroku, hrani za dojenčke, fluoridih, prvem obisku zobozdravnika, pripomočkih za ustno higieno in o kariogeni hrani. Vprašalnik 2, na katerega je 575 bodočih staršev (413 žensk in 162 moških) odgovarjalo 7 do 14 dni po predavanju, je vseboval šest ponovljenih in dve novi vprašanji: o sladkih pijačah in o razvadah. Izsledki: V najnižjem odstotku (37,8%) so bili pravilni odgovori na vprašanje s področja zdravja obzobnih tkiv. Na ostala vprašanja prvega vprašalnika so preiskovanci odgovarjali pravilno v razponu od 46,8% do 99,8%. Noben preučevani dejavnik ni pokazal splošne povezanosti s pravilnostjo odgovorov na vsa ali na večino vprašanj. Na posamezna vprašanja drugega vprašalnika so bili odgovori pravilni v razponu od 62,1% do 96,9%. Zaključek: Raven znanja bodočih staršev o različnih vsebinah, pomembnih za ustno zdravje, je bila dokaj visoka, a različna. Enourno zobozdravstvenoprosvetno predavanje je raven znanja značilno povečalo. Raziskava je pokazala, da je predporodna zobozdravstvena prosveta smiselna za bodoče starše obeh spolov in vseh stopenj izobrazbe.
