ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study was to assess,“the factors affecting dental practice in bauchi state”. The expo-facto research design was used for the study because the information needed was within the respondents and was elicited by the research instrument. Stratified random sampling technique was employed for the study of a population of eighty six thousand and one pupils (86,0001). The 173 public primary schools were stratified into bauchi state and SabonGariLocal Government Areas of Kaduna state. A sample size of 382 was drawn for the study. A self constructed questionnaire was used for the collection of data and the statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) was used for the analysis. The major hypothesis for the study states that “There is no significant relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice of dental health care among primary school pupils in bauchi state”. Descriptive statistics of frequency and percentages were used to analyse the main variables. Means and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The major and sub-hypotheses were tested with PPMCC and paired sample t-test respectively. The result of the major hypothesis showed that there was no significant relationship between Knowledge, Attitude, Practice and factors affecting dental practice among primary school pupils in bauchi state and the hypothesis was therefore retained. Generally, the result of the study revealed that the Knowledge and Attitude of dental health care among Primary school pupils in bauchi state was still below satisfactory level. It also revealed that the practice of oral hygiene among the pupils was majorly the use of finger/water and salt/ash.Only a small proportion used tooth paste and brush. The researcher recommended that there is need for their Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of dental health care to be improved upon through regular oral health education promotion programme, school teachers and parents should intensify on their effort in educating children on the importance of oral hygiene both at home and at school.
