The modified HU-DBI (Hiroshima University–Dental Behavioral Inventory) questionnaire on oral hygiene behavior and knowledge was applied, which was validated and translated into Spanish. The data were organized into tables and graphs, using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test to establish the relationship between knowledge level and behavior. The study concluded that the level of knowledge and behavior regarding oral hygiene was regular across both genders and all ages. Furthermore, there was a direct relationship between the level of knowledge and behavior regarding oral hygiene among these students.
