Abstract

Gingivitis is one of the most common oral health problems encountered during pregnancy, largely influenced by hormonal changes that heighten gingival vascularization and inflammatory responses. Preliminary findings from the Berbek Public Health Center, Nganjuk, indicated a high prevalence of gingivitis among pregnant women, reflecting inadequate oral hygiene practices and limited awareness. This situation underscores the need to understand behavioral determinants, particularly motivation, that may influence oral health status during pregnancy. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the association between pregnant women’s motivation to maintain oral health and the occurrence of gingivitis in the working area of Berbek Public Health Center in 2025. A descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 30 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Motivation levels were assessed using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire, while gingival status was examined using the Loe and Silness Gingival Index. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test to determine the relationship between motivation and gingival condition. The results revealed that 56.7% of respondents had moderate motivation and 43.3% had strong motivation for maintaining oral hygiene. Gingivitis assessment showed that 60% of participants exhibited mild gingivitis, while 40% had moderate gingivitis. Spearman’s test demonstrated a strong and statistically significant correlation between motivation and gingivitis (ρ = 0.714; p = 0.001), indicating that higher motivation was associated with better gingival health. In conclusion, motivation plays a crucial role in shaping oral health behaviors during pregnancy and is significantly related to the incidence of gingivitis. Strengthening maternal motivation through targeted health education and integrated maternal–dental health programs is essential to reduce gingivitis risk and support optimal pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition that affects various aspects of health, including dental and oral health. Diabetes and periodontitis are the most prevalent human diseases. Diabetes worsens the periodontal condition, but periodontitis also hampers glycemic control in diabetic patients. The study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge of oral health maintenance and the incidence of periodontitis among elderly patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) at the Tanah Kalikedinding Health Center, Surabaya. The cross-sectional study involved 46 elderly participants diagnosed with T2DM. Data were collected using a dental and oral health maintenance knowledge questionnaire and the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN). The majority of respondents were women (73.9%) aged 60-70 years (91.3%), with most having only a junior high school education (47.8%). Knowledge levels were generally low, with 54.35% of respondents classified as having poor knowledge. Most respondents (80.4%) had severe periodontitis, as indicated by CPITN scores. The Pearson correlation test revealed no significant relationship between knowledge levels and CPITN scores (r = -0.134, p = 0.374), suggesting that knowledge about dental and oral health maintenance does not significantly influence the incidence of periodontitis in this sample. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive interventions to improve dental and oral health among elderly T2DM patients, focusing not only on increasing knowledge but also improving access to dental care and promoting healthy lifestyle practices. These efforts are essential to reducing the prevalence of severe periodontitis in this vulnerable population.

Abstract

Smoking remains a major public health concern and is widely recognized as an important behavioral risk factor for poor dental and oral health. Tobacco exposure contributes to plaque accumulation, calculus formation, gingival inflammation, and impaired oral tissue healing. However, evidence regarding the relationship between smoking habits and oral hygiene status in Indonesian primary health care settings is still limited. This study aimed to analyze the association between smoking habits and dental and oral hygiene status among patients attending the Dental Clinic of the Kesamben Community Health Center, Jombang Regency. A quantitative cross-sectional analytical design was employed in March 2025. The study involved 30 male patients aged ≥25 years who were selected using purposive sampling. Smoking habits were assessed using a structured 20-item questionnaire and categorized into low, moderate, and high levels based on cumulative scores. Dental and oral hygiene status was evaluated using the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), which classifies hygiene conditions into good, moderate, and poor categories. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical methods, including the Chi-square test, Spearman correlation analysis, and Phi effect size, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had high smoking intensity (93.4%) and poor oral hygiene status (96.6%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between smoking habits and oral hygiene status (χ² = 7.226; p = 0.007). Spearman correlation analysis indicated a moderate positive relationship between smoking intensity and worsening OHI-S scores (r = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.18–0.74), with a moderate effect size (φ = 0.49). In conclusion, higher smoking intensity is significantly associated with poorer dental and oral hygiene among adult patients at the Kesamben Community Health Center. These findings highlight the importance of integrating smoking cessation counseling with preventive oral health education in primary health care services to improve overall oral health outcomes.
