Results: There has been an improvement in the knowledge and practices of primary school students participating in the study, which was evident during the second moment, which followed implementation of the tem. There was a positive change in oral health, with those classified as good going from 10% to 46%, as well as among those classified as middling or deficient, increasing from 44% to 66% and from 10% to 24%, respectively.
