Objective: To compare Colgate's Brilliant Smiles, Brilliant Futures ™ oral health education program with the expository method for bacterial plaque decline in schoolchildren aged 8 to 10 years. Materials and Methods: A prospective, longitudinal, comparative and experimental study was carried out. Two study groups were evaluated, from 31 students each between 8 and 10 years of age, for which a different method was applied to each group. Their evolutions of each of them were examined weekly with the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index of Green and Vermellón. The collected data were processed in an automated way in the statistical program SPSS Statistics 22.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA), and then presented the results in tables and / or graphs showing the results according to the stated objectives. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for the comparison of both programs for plaque reduction due to non-compliance with the normality assumption. A significance level of 5% was considered. Results: They show that in the first week and second week there is no significant difference since the P value of the statistical test is 0.739 and 0.667 respectively. However, from the third week if there is significant difference since the P value of the statistical test is <0.05 and corresponds to 0.002. Similarly in the fourth week the value of P is <0.001. Conclusions: After the third week, there was a significant difference between the two methods in plaque control in schoolchildren aged 8 to 10 years (p <0.002 and p <0.001).
