The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term effects of guidance for improving the eating habits by means of the severity of gingivitis. The subjects were infants and school children (0-7 years old) who took part in our trial system for dental health education and guidance established in 1984 and carried out three times a year at 4-month intervals at Ikema and Karimata districts in Hirara City, Okinawa. Since 1986, mothers and children were suggested in a letter to try intensively to changes their unfavourable eating habits for a ten-day period just before each dental examination. The condition of the mesial and buccal gingiva around each tooth was examined and scored according to authers' criteria of Periodontal Index. The mean Periodontal Index score was cal culated by person and group for each examination.<BR>In Karimata, the mean group P.I. score decreased. The number of infants with a high P.I. score decreased, and the number of infants with a low P.I. score increased. In contrast, in Ikema, the mean group P.I. score was relatively low from the initiation of the trial, but increased at latest examination in June, 1987, and the number of the infants with a high P.I. score did not change during the year. The results indicate that the guidance for improving eating habits seemed to be effectively carried out in Karimata, but not in Ikema.<BR>The gingivitis was likely to be controlled by the self-cleaning function of mouth and reflected influence of eating habits. It could, therefore, be considered that the severity of gingivitis works validly as an indicator for the effects of guidance of eating habits.
