Background Oral and dental health has a significant impact on public health as well as the quality of life among individuals and families. This study aims to design, implement, and evaluate an intervention based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model for oral and dental health among primary school students in Rafsanjan city, Southern Iran. Methods In this exploratory sequential study, predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors related to oral and dental health were identified using 39 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. In the quantitative section, the training program consisted of six sessions for students (250 students) with a brushing session, three sessions for parents, and two sessions for teachers of the target group with lectures, questions and answers, role playing, practical demonstration, and the explaining of related experiences. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 18.0 using Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, and chi-squared tests at the significance level of 0.05. Results In the qualitative section, seven predisposing factors, five enabling factors, and two reinforcing factors were identified. A training program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model was found to be effective in increasing the mean scores of the above constructs and the students' brushing behavior (P < 0.001). Conclusion Based on the results, the use of a PRECEDE-PROCEDE-based planning and participation model is suggested for identifying the factors related to oral and dental health behavior and also for designing, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based interventions.
