Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to identify the efficiency of total dental care(TDC) internship program. Methods : Dental hygiene students participated in the total dental care(TDC) internship program for 4 weeks in dental clinics practice. A self-reported questionnaire was filled out from June to July in 2012. The questionnaire consisted of oral health condition and dental care services by the students, dentists, and dental hygienists after TDC internship program. Results : Satisfaction degree of the students was $3.92{\pm}0.68$ points. The patients satisfied with TDC internship program and it was helpful to their dental health care(4.0 points). There were significant changes in tooth brushing method, frequency and O'Leary plaque index. Satisfaction degree of the dentists was 4.09 points and that of the dental hygienists was 3.80 points. Conclusions : TDC internship program is very helpful for the students not only to play an outstanding role in their dental care activities after employment but also to establish the real identity of the dental hygienist.
