According to the results of oral health care form, individuals that are chosen from bottom 25% of the attitude scale were placed in the experimental (n=40) and control (n=40) groups randomly. The data were collected by four different forms of which are personal information form, multi-dimensional oral health control scale (MOHLCS), oral health care form (ODHB) and oral examination form. Increased mean internal focus control point which was a sub-scale of MOHLCS scale was found in the experimental group compared to control group. The mean score of ODHB after the post test and re-test between the groups, a statistically significant difference was determined in favor of the experimental group.
