本研究探讨内外控人格特质与口腔卫生技能改善及菌斑得分的关系。记录了22名中度牙周炎患者的控制点评分、初始和最终技能和菌斑评分。对每例患者进行为期3个月的口腔卫生指导。虽然患者的口腔卫生技能水平显着增加，菌斑得分显着下降，没有检测到控制人格维度和技能或菌斑得分之间的关系。结论是加强自我指导手册的个人口腔卫生指导是有效的，提高口腔卫生技能和减少菌斑分数，为今后的研究调查控制点维度的其他策略。
This study investigated the relationship between internal and external locus of control classified patients and improvement in oral hygiene skills and plaque scores. Locus of control scores, and initial and final skill and plaque scores were recorded for 22 dental patients with moderate periodontitis. Oral hygiene instruction was given over a 3-month period to each patient. Although patient oral hygiene skill level increased significantly and plaque scores declined significantly, no relationship was detected between the locus of control personality dimension and skill or plaque scores. It was concluded that personal oral hygiene instruction reinforced by self-instructional manual was effective in improving oral hygiene skill and reducing plaque scores; additional strategies for future studies investigating the locus of control dimension were presented.
