Abstract: Objective: To compare two oral health management methods in improving the postoperative effect for children received DGA, and to study the possible influencing factors. Methods: A total of 130 children who received DGA treatment were selected and divided into two groups. The caries activity, the number of caries, and the oral hygiene habits were recorded before DGA, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after DGA. Results: Compared with preoperative, the caries risk and caries rate of re-examination in 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months were decreased, but the decrease was more obvious in the experimental group (P<0.05). During the 6-month follow-up, the risk of caries state was correlated with the number of caries (P<0.05). Risk factors showed that only eating sweets and beverages before going to bed and using dental floss were significantly associated with the recurrence of caries after DGA (P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with traditional oral education, motivational interviewing technology has obvious advantages in reducing caries risk and caries rate after DGA, and it is worthy of further promotion in clinical practice.
