The primary outcome of the study is the knowledge of periodontal health.It will be assessed by 10 questions focusing on the basic knowledge of gingival appearance, causes and consequence of periodontal disease, impact of systemic disease on the progression of periodontal conditions, and prevention. Then, periodontal practice will be addressed via several questions that evaluate the self-care practices of tooth brushing, flossing, mouth rinsing in recent one year, scaling in recent five years, and how to alleviate gingival bleeding if there is. Periodontal examination using the community periodontal index (CPI) will be done for all of the participants to assess the status of periodontal condition. The dentition will be divided into sextants and the highest code number corresponding to the worst periodontal condition around each of the 10 indexed teeth being recorded.
