目的：了解巴基斯坦木尔坦尼什塔尔牙科研究所门诊患者口腔健康知识、态度、行为和认知情况。方法：这是一项基于医院的横断面描述性调查，于2010年1月至2010年3月在巴基斯坦木尔坦的尼什塔尔牙科研究所进行。采用非概率便利抽样技术，对221名受试者进行问卷调查。收集的数据采用SPSS17.0统计软件进行统计分析。结果：在研究参与者中，41.7%的人主要从媒体获得关于口腔健康的信息，46.2%的人从社区成员那里获得有关口腔健康的信息。64.3%的调查对象(男性55.6%，女性44.4%)知道吃糖导致龋齿的原因，47.1%的人因为痛觉而害怕检查牙齿。结果显示，46.2%(男51.9%，女48.1%)的人每天刷牙一次，6.9%的人根本不刷牙。结果发现，42.5%(男性：46.8%；女性：53.2%)的研究参与者在过去6个月内去看过牙医，约56.1%的受试者是因为牙齿疼痛而来的。结论：研究对象的口腔健康KAP水平较低，有待提高。这项研究的结果还表明，现有牙科服务的利用主要用于紧急止痛&偶尔用于例行的口腔健康维护。基于这些发现，需要系统的以社区为导向的口腔健康促进计划，以针对不同一般人口群体的生活方式。

Methodology: This was a cross sectional descriptive hospital based survey, conducted in Nishtar Institute of Dentistry, Multan, Pakistan from January 2010 to March 2010. A total of 221 subjects were interviewed on a questionnaire proforma using Non Probability convenient sampling technique. SPSS version 17.0 was used to analyze the collected data. Results: Of the study participants, 41.7%, received information regarding oral health mainly from media and 46.2% from Community members. 64.3% of the study participants (Male 55.6% & Female 44.4%) knew the reason that eating sugars causes tooth decay and 47.1% were afraid of dental check up because of pain perception. Results showed that 46.2% (Male 51.9%: Female: 48.1%) brushed their teeth once a day and 6.9% did not brushed at all. It was found that 42.5% (Male: 46.8%; Female: 53.2%) of study participants visited the dentist during the last 6 months and about 56.1% of the subjects came because of dental pain. Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that oral health KAP among study participants was poor and needs to be improved. Findings of this study also show that utilization of available dental service is mainly for emergency pain relief & very occasionally for routine oral health maintenance. Based upon these findings, systematic community-oriented oral health promotion programs are needed to target the lifestyles in different general population groups.
