| description | Introduction: the implementation of educational interventions in the prison context contributes to forming positive behaviors in oral health. Objective: to evaluate the usefulness of an educational strategy on oral health in a Cuban prison context. Methods: an educational strategy in oral health was implemented at the primary level, of a quasi-experimental type with a before and after design, without a control group, in 60 inmates of a Camagüey penitentiary unit, in the period from June 2017 to January 2018; with a weekly frequency of 30 minutes, the group was divided into four subgroups. Results: good oral hygiene was found in 94.5%, with an information level evaluated as Good in 91.7%; the number of risk factors decreased by more than half of what was found at the beginning. It was significant that satisfactory self-assessment and favorable perception were found to be above 90%. Conclusions: The implemented strategy was considered useful, as favorable modifications were produced according to the parameters established by the authors, with marked differences when comparing the results at the beginning with those obtained at six months, the above is endorsed as a strength of the Cuban Revolution in a Cuban prison context. The contributions of the educational strategy had an impact on the stomatology service from the perspective of the humanist, the ethical, the organizational and the social point of view. |
