简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of gamified oral health education using jigsaw puzzles and flash cards in improving oral health knowledge, attitude, and practices among school children. The mixed dentition period is a crucial stage for establishing lifelong oral hygiene habits. Traditional teaching methods may have limited engagement and retention. Incorporating interactive tools such as puzzles and flash cards is expected to enhance learning, motivation, and behavioral outcomes. The study will compare gamified education with conventional teaching to assess improvements in knowledge, attitude, practices, and oral hygiene parameters.
