Methods : The subjects were 301 middle school students who lived in Gimhae and Jinhae. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS. Results : The group with oral health education experience had higher scores in oral health knowledge(p<.01) than the group without oral health education. The group with oral health education experience has higher scores in oral health behavior (p<.01) than the group without oral health education. The group with oral health education experience has higher scores in self-efficiency (p<.01) than the group without oral health education. The experience of oral health education shows positive correlation with oral health knowledge(r=0.184), oral health behavior(r=0.199) and self-efficiency(r=0.199). There existed a positive correlation between oral health knowledge and self-efficiency(r=0.351). Conclusions : It is necessary to provide oral health promotion program in middle school students.
