The educative program elaborated offered solution to these insufficiencies; after its implementation, its effectiveness was corroborated.
Conclusions: it was assessed as pertinent, useful, feasible and of adequate methodological value by the specialists consulted. With its implementation, school children improved their oral hygiene and were motivated by the topics related to Dentistry.
