Abstract

Pregnancy gingivitis remains a prevalent oral health problem among pregnant women, largely driven by hormonal changes and inadequate awareness of proper oral hygiene practices. Despite its high prevalence and potential complications, including heightened risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes, educational resources tailored to improving oral health knowledge during pregnancy are still limited and often ineffective. This study addresses this gap by examining the impact of the Android-based Mom Smile application as an accessible digital learning tool for enhancing pregnant women’s knowledge of pregnancy gingivitis. This research employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 32 pregnant women attending the Gayam Health Center in Sumenep Regency. Participants completed a validated knowledge questionnaire assessing their understanding of pregnancy gingivitis including its definition, symptoms, causes, impacts, and prevention before and after engaging with the Mom Smile application. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test due to non-normal distribution. The findings demonstrated a substantial improvement in knowledge following the intervention. The mean knowledge score increased from 54.68% in the pretest to 83.28% in the posttest. Prior to the intervention, 62% of participants exhibited low knowledge levels, whereas after using the application, 88% achieved high knowledge levels. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the Mom Smile application. In conclusion, the Mom Smile application proved to be an effective digital educational tool for enhancing pregnant women’s knowledge about pregnancy gingivitis. Its motion-graphic–based content offers an engaging and practical alternative to traditional printed materials. Integrating such digital health education into antenatal care services may support better oral hygiene practices, thereby contributing to improved maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral health problems among preschool children, often linked to inadequate parental understanding of proper dental care. This study addresses the research problem of how maternal knowledge influences the occurrence of dental caries in preschool-aged children at PG/RA Muslimah NU Islamiyah Taman Sidoarjo. The aim was to determine whether maternal knowledge significantly correlates with children’s dental caries status. Using an analytical cross-sectional design, data were collected from 36 mother–child pairs selected through total sampling. Maternal knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire, while the children’s dental caries status was examined with a standardized dental health assessment sheet. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test with Fisher’s test as the corrective alternative. The results showed that 47.2% of mothers possessed sufficient knowledge, while 50% of children exhibited low levels of dental caries. A significant relationship was found between maternal knowledge and dental caries prevalence (p = 0.001), indicating that higher maternal knowledge is associated with a lower incidence of caries in preschool children. These findings confirm that mothers play a central role in promoting healthy oral hygiene behaviors and reducing caries risk during early childhood. In conclusion, maternal knowledge exerts a substantial influence on children’s oral health outcomes, highlighting the need for targeted parental education and health promotion programs. Interventions that enhance mothers’ understanding of proper dental hygiene practices may contribute significantly to reducing dental caries prevalence in preschool populations. Strengthening oral health literacy among mothers is therefore recommended as a preventive strategy to support healthier dental development in young children.

Abstract

Dental plaque accumulation is a common oral health problem among pregnant women and is associated with anincreased risk of gingivitis, periodontitis, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. In Bunder Village, Pamekasan, preliminaryobservations showed a high plaque index among pregnant women, highlighting the need for accessible and safe plaque-controlinterventions. Natural mouthwash derived from herbal plants such as betel (Piper betle) and basil (Ocimum basilicum) leaves hasbeen suggested to possess antibacterial and antiplaque properties, yet comparative evidence in pregnant populations remainslimited. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of betel leaf and basil leaf decoctions in reducing dental plaque index amongpregnant women. This quasi-experimental study involved 32 pregnant women selected using Slovin’s formula and randomlyassigned into two equal groups. Each group rinsed with either a boiled betel leaf or basil leaf solution prepared using standardizedprocedures. Plaque index was measured before and after rinsing using the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) Index. Datanormality was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, while within-group and between-group differences were analyzed using pairedand independent t-tests, respectively. Both betel and basil leaf decoctions significantly reduced plaque index (p < 0.05). The betel leaf group showed a greater mean reduction (Δ = 1.23 ± 0.75) compared to the basil leaf group (Δ = 0.85 ± 0.65), with the between-group comparison indicating a significant difference favoring betel leaf (p = 0.003). In conclusion, both herbal decoctions effectively lowered plaque index among pregnant women; however, betel leaf decoction demonstrated superior antiplaque efficacy.These findings support the potential use of betel leaf decoction as a low-cost, safe, and natural alternative mouthwash in prenataloral health programs. Further studies with longer follow-up and standardized phytochemical assessment are recommended.

Abstract

Elderly individuals commonly experience physiological, psychological, and social changes that hinder their ability to maintain optimal oral and dental health. Low self-efficacy, combined with insufficient social support, has been identified as a major contributor to poor oral-health behaviors among older adults, particularly in underserved rural communities. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between social support and self-efficacy in maintaining oral and dental health among elderly residents in Sebalong Village, Nguling District, Pasuruan, in 2024. An analytical cross-sectional design was employed, involving 33 elderly participants selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using two standardized instruments: the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ) and the Geriatric Self-Efficacy Scale for Oral Health (GSEOH), both of which demonstrated high reliability. Descriptive statistics were used to categorize social support and self-efficacy levels, while Spearman’s rank correlation test was applied to examine the relationship between the variables. The findings indicated that most respondents received moderate social support (mean = 13.78), whereas their self-efficacy levels were predominantly low (mean = 29.0). The correlation analysis showed a statistically significant positive relationship between social support and self-efficacy (p = 0.028; r = 0.383), suggesting that higher social support is associated with improved confidence in performing oral-health maintenance behaviors. These results highlight the need for community-based interventions that strengthen emotional, instrumental, informational, and esteem support for elderly individuals. Enhancing social support networks may serve as a practical strategy to improve oral-health behaviors and overall well-being among older adults in rural settings. Strengthened collaboration among families, local health workers, and community programs is recommended to ensure sustainable improvements in elderly oral-health maintenance.

Abstract

Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral health problems among preschool children, and inadequate parental knowledge is often identified as a major contributing factor. Despite existing preventive programs, many parents still lack sufficient understanding of proper oral hygiene practices, which may exacerbate caries risk during early childhood. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between parental knowledge of oral health and the incidence of dental caries among preschool children enrolled at PAUD and Kindergarten under the Ar-Rahman Foundation in Jombang. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed involving 39 parents selected through total sampling. Parental knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire, while children’s dental caries status was measured using the deft index following WHO guidelines. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that more than half of the parents (51.3%) possessed low knowledge regarding oral health, while the prevalence of dental caries among preschool children remained high. Although descriptive patterns suggested that children of parents with lower knowledge tended to exhibit higher deft scores, statistical results (p = 0.286) indicated no significant association between parental knowledge and dental caries incidence. These findings highlight that knowledge alone may not sufficiently influence caries outcomes without being accompanied by consistent practice, behavioral reinforcement, and adequate access to oral health services. In conclusion, the high prevalence of dental caries observed in this study underscores the need for improved parental education and comprehensive health promotion strategies. Strengthening school-based oral health programs and enhancing parental involvement in preventive practices are essential to reducing the burden of caries among preschool-aged children.

Abstract

The objective this research aimd to ascertain the connection between understanding of oral health and actual mouth cleanliness stats of elderly patients at the Periodontics Specialist Clinic of RSGM Universitas Airlangga. An analytical survey with a cross-sectional method was used for this research. Through purposive sampling, a total of 54 individuals were selected to participate. The findings indicated that most of respondents had a middle level of knowledge regarding oral and dental hygiene, while most exhibited poor oral hygiene status. The Chi-Square test was conducted to the gathered data to examine the correlation between participants’ knowledge and their oral hygiene status. Nevertheless, the analysis revealed no significant association between understanding of oral health and actual mouth cleanliness stats among the elderly. This outcome is presumed to be due to the absence of behavioral data related to the respondents' oral hygiene practices. Consequently, it’s recommended that healthcare providers consistently offer education and counseling on oral and dental care to the elderly in order to enhance their oral health status.

Abstract

Oral and dental hygiene remains a significant public health concern among adolescents, largely due to inadequate knowledge and limited exposure to effective health education. Preliminary findings at SMAN 1 Porong indicated that 50% of students exhibited poor plaque indices, reflecting insufficient awareness of proper oral hygiene practices. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of TikTok-based educational media in improving students’ knowledge of oral and dental hygiene. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. A total of 52 tenth-grade students were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via Google Forms before and after the intervention. The educational intervention consisted of delivering oral health content through TikTok media. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to assess differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in students’ knowledge following the intervention. Prior to education, 96% of respondents were categorized as having low knowledge, whereas after the intervention, 88% achieved a good knowledge level. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p = 0.000; p < 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of TikTok as an educational medium. In conclusion, TikTok-based health education significantly enhances adolescents’ knowledge of oral and dental hygiene. The findings suggest that integrating social media platforms into health promotion strategies can serve as an innovative and engaging approach to improve health literacy among students. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of such interventions and to compare the effectiveness of different digital media platforms.
