His experimental community trial investigates the impact of combining Conventional Education and Motivational Interviewing (CE-MI) models on oral health knowledge and indices among elementary school children in Tomohon City. A pretest and posttest control group design involved 106 randomly assigned respondents. The intervention group received the CE-MI model, while the control group had no intervention. Results revealed a significant increase in oral health knowledge in both groups. The control group showed a 5.02±1.01 knowledge score increase (p < 0.05), and the intervention group exhibited a substantial increase of 11.71±3.11 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, both groups experienced a decrease in dental hygiene index (OHI-S), with the control group decreasing by 3.50±1.07 (p < 0.05) and the intervention group by 4.13±2.30 (p < 0.05). Similarly, a reduction in dental caries index (DMF-T) was observed, with the control group decreasing by 2.84±1.21 (p < 0.05) and the intervention group by 4.13±2.30 (p < 0.05). The dental gingival index (GI) also fell in both groups, with the control group showing a reduction of 0.04±0.01 (p < 0.05) and the intervention group a decrease of 0.91±0.06 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the CE-MI model intervention effectively enhances oral health knowledge and reduces dental indices in 5th and 6th-grade elementary school children in Tomohon City.
