Abstract

One of the effects of a lack of knowledge about how to maintain dental hygiene is having dental health problems such as cavities. Provision of health education can increase health knowledge. In certain circumstances, especially in mentally retarded children, the health of their teeth and mouth is neglected. A study has shown that mentally retarded children have a risk of poor dental and oral health. It is important for mentally retarded children to gain knowledge, so they can take care of and develop themselves. The problem in this study is the lack of knowledge about brushing teeth in mentally retarded children at SLB Paedagogia Surabaya. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the singing method on knowledge about brushing teeth in mentally retarded children at SLB Paedagogia Surabaya. This type of research is a true experiment with a pretest-posttest design with a control group, with research subjects as many as 30 mentally retarded children who were divided into 2 groups. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire. The data analysis technique uses the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. There is the effectiveness of the singing method on knowledge about brushing teeth in mentally retarded children at SLB Paedagogia Surabaya in 2023.

Abstract

Periodontitis remains a major cause of tooth loss among the elderly, significantly affecting masticatory function, aesthetics, and overall quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, limited awareness and misconceptions about oral health among older adults may contribute to delayed prevention and treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between elderly knowledge of oral health and the incidence of periodontitis at the Kemuning Integrated Health Post, Rejosopinggir Village, Jombang Regency. This research employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 32 elderly participants aged ≥60 years were selected using random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire to assess oral health knowledge and clinical examination using the Russell Periodontal Index to determine periodontal status. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents had poor knowledge of oral health (78.1%), and most participants exhibited severe periodontal conditions, with an average Russell Periodontal Index score of 3.55. However, the chi-square test indicated no statistically significant relationship between oral health knowledge and the occurrence of periodontitis (p = 0.396 > 0.05). These results suggest that knowledge alone is insufficient to influence periodontal health outcomes. In conclusion, although poor oral health knowledge is prevalent among the elderly, it does not significantly correlate with the incidence of periodontitis in this population. Other factors, such as behavioral habits, access to healthcare services, systemic conditions, and socioeconomic status, may play a more dominant role. Comprehensive and practical oral health interventions are therefore recommended to improve periodontal health among the elderly.
