Abstract
With adequate oral health knowledge, dental medicine students can act as role models for
their patients in improving the oral health condition for the general population. We know that
except using dental brush and tooth paste there are a lot of other additional supplements. The
aim of this research was to assess the usage of these additional supplements among the
students of dental medicine. For realizing the aim a questionnaire with adequate questions
was made. The questionnaire was answered by total number of 137 dental medicine students
at our university. Results showed that 74.25 % from the students use additional supplements.
Most of them, 66.26% use dental floss, 16.12% of them use interdental brushes, and just 8.2
% use both of them. 67.64 % from the students are using mouthwash solutions. Most of the
students that use mouthwash solution also use interdental brushes or dental floss. We can
conclude that more than a two-third of the students are using additional supplements for
maintaining adequate oral hygiene. This is very important because most of them will be
dental professionals in the future, so they can help educating their patients maintaining their
adequate oral hygiene
