Objective:To understand the knowledge and behavior of adult patients with oral disease about the toothbrush,toothpaste, solutions of mouth rinsing, interdental embrasure cleaning tool and sugar-free chewing gum. Methods:The adult patients with oral disease from the 2nd level hospital in Anhui province were investigated by a cluster random ampling method. Results:There were 44. 7% of patients knew the health care toothbrush,and 23. 0% of patients randomly chose toothbrush;71. 4% of patients knew the fluoride toothpaste,22. 3% of patients used it for long-term,and 39. 3% of patients randomly chose a toothpaste;41. 5% of patients knew the dental floss, and 11. 7% of patients regularly used it;20. 6% of patients knew the interdental toothbrush, and 3. 1% of patients regularly used it;51. 7% of patients knew the mouth rinsing,and 8. 0% of patients regularly used it;47. 5% of patients knew the sugar-free gum,and 35. 2% of patients frequently chewed it for strengthening oral health. There was not statistically significant difference in gender cognitive behavior of all cases(P>0. 05). The cognitive level of the patients with high education level was high, and the cognitive levels of the patients from city and enterprises were higher than that of rural residents(P0.05),相对较高文化教育程度者具有较高认知水平,城市、企事业工作人员认知水平均高于农村居民(P<0.01)。结论：患者对基本口腔自我保健产品的知识行为普遍不足；应重点加强含氟牙膏、牙线等牙间隙清洁工具以及漱口液的认知宣教；低教育水平、农村居民应是今后口腔自我保健健康教育的重点人群；应建立以刷牙和牙线清洁牙间隙作为最基本的口腔自我保健方式,辅以咀嚼无糖口香糖、漱口液漱口的系统性口腔自我保健模式和平衡发展的口腔护理产品市场体系。
