This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of strengthened anticipatory guidance (AG) used in MOH Malaysia Infant Oral Healthcare Programme in preventing early childhood caries (ECC) lesions and improving caries risk of infants in Negeri Sembilan and their primary caregiver's knowledge and practice on infant oral healthcare
Detailed Description:
This randomised control trial study will be conducted at six government Maternal and Child Health Clinics (MCHCs) in Negeri Sembilan District, Malaysia. The samples comprised of 220 primary caregivers-infant pairs (110 pairs in the intervention group, and 110 pairs in the control group). A strengthened infant oral health module named the Oral Health Infant Module Anticipatory Guidance (OHIM AG) was designed to provide anticipatory guidance to the intervention group at three-month intervals over 6 months.
