Abstract

Toothbrushing skills in preschool children are crucial for dental health. However, children often struggle to apply the correct techniques. A preliminary study conducted on 5-6-year-old children at Raden Paku Kindergarten in Surabaya revealed that most of them had inadequate skills in performing toothbrushing movements. Educational media serve as an effective tool for conveying messages to enhance toothbrushing skills. Efforts to improve these skills can be implemented using the TURBODENT (Try Using Box Dental) media. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Try Using Box Dental media on the toothbrushing skills of 5-6-year-old children at Raden Paku Kindergarten in Surabaya. This research employs a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The study sample consists of 40 children aged 5-6 years, divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group. Data collection instruments include an observation checklist for toothbrushing skills. Data analysis techniques involve the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: the Wilcoxon test for the intervention group shows a p-value of 0.000, while the control group has a p-value of 1.000. The Mann-Whitney test results in a p-value of 0.000 or < 0.05. The study concludes that the Try Using Box Dental media is effective in enhancing the toothbrushing skills of 5-6-year-old children at Raden Paku Kindergarten in Surabaya.

Abstract

Preschool children represent a critical developmental stage in which foundational health behaviors, includingtoothbrushing, begin to form. Although most Indonesian children aged ≥3 years brush their teeth daily, only a small proportiondo so correctly, resulting in persistently high rates of dental and oral health problems. This study addresses the problem oflow toothbrushing knowledge and inadequate brushing practices among preschool children. The aim of this research was toevaluate the effectiveness of video tutorial–based dental health education in enhancing preschool children’s independence,knowledge, and practical skills in toothbrushing. A pre-experimental study with a pre-test–post-test control group design wasconducted among 38 preschool children enrolled in Putra Harapan Kindergarten and Dewi Sartika Kindergarten, Tuban.Participants were divided into an experimental group receiving video tutorial education and a control group receiving verbaleducation only. Data on knowledge and toothbrushing practices were collected using structured observation sheets, andanalyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test. The results demonstrated a significant improvementin both knowledge and toothbrushing practices in the experimental group after 21 days of intervention (p < 0.001). In contrast,the control group showed no significant changes in either outcome. Between-group comparisons further indicated that videotutorial education was significantly more effective than verbal instruction in increasing correct toothbrushing knowledge andpractices (p < 0.001). In conclusion, video tutorial media is an effective educational tool for enhancing preschool children’sindependence in toothbrushing. Its engaging visual format improves comprehension and encourages children to imitate properbrushing movements, leading to better oral hygiene behaviors. The findings support the integration of video-based learninginto early childhood dental health programs and future studies with longer follow-up periods are recommended to assesslong-term behavioral retention.

Abstract

Down syndrome children are mentally retarded and most of them have poor oral health and are unable to carry out dental hygiene independently due to cognitive and motor limitations. It was found that 83% of dental hygiene (debris index) was in the moderate category in children with Down syndrome. Efforts to improve dental hygiene can be done by using a modified toothbrush. The aim of the research is to determine the difference in the effectiveness of using a conventional toothbrush and a modified toothbrush with a handle (SIGIGA) in reducing the debris index in children with Down syndrome. This type of research is quasi-experimental. The sample size was 30 respondents from children with Down syndrome who were selected using a total sampling technique. The data collection instrument used was the debris index examination sheet. The data analysis techniques used are the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the Wilcoxon test to see the difference in plaque scores before and after treatment obtained significant results ρ (0.001) < 0.05 in the conventional toothbrush group and the modified handled toothbrush group. The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed ρ (0.000) < 0.05. This value shows that H0 is rejected, so there is a difference in the effectiveness of using a conventional toothbrush and a modified toothbrush with a handle (SIGIGA) in reducing the debris index in children with Down syndrome. Conclusions from the research : There is a difference in the effectiveness of using a conventional toothbrush and a modified toothbrush with a handle (SIGIGA) in reducing the debris index in children with Down syndrome.

Abstract

Particularly during the 5th week of gestation when primary tooth enamel begins forming. Disruptions during this crucial period can lead to suboptimal enamel structure, increasing susceptibility to cavities in toddlers. A study conducted observed dental examinations of 10 stunted toddlers, all of whom exhibited dental caries. This prompted an investigation into whether maternal nutrition during pregnancy correlates with primary tooth caries in stunted toddlers. The research, a retrospective case-control study using purposive sampling of 90 respondents, utilized maternal BMI data and assessed primary tooth caries incidence. Analysis using Spearman's non-parametric correlation test indicated a significant relationship (p=0.001, r=0.351) between maternal nutritional status and primary tooth caries. Findings from the Umbulsari Community Health Center revealed that most mothers had below-normal nutritional status during pregnancy, and stunted toddlers averaged 7.3 dental caries. It was concluded that there was a relationship between maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and primary tooth caries in stunted toddlers at the Umbulsari Community Health Center with a weak correlation coefficient and the direction of correlation between variables was negative or inversely proportional.

Abstract

Dental health problems remain highly prevalent among preschool children, largely due to inadequate knowledge ofproper oral hygiene practices. Preliminary findings at Maryam Islamic Kindergarten, Surabaya, showed that most children exhibitedpoor dental health knowledge and high caries risk, highlighting the need for more engaging and developmentally appropriateeducational media. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Mystery Card media, an interactive learning tool integratingprinted cards with technology, in improving dental health knowledge among preschool children. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was conducted from December 2024 to March 2025, involving 46 preschool children selected throughsimple random sampling. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received educationusing Mystery Card media, while the control group received conventional instruction through PowerPoint presentations.Knowledge data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests with asignificance level of α = 0.05. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in the intervention group, where the proportionof children in the “good” knowledge category increased from 0% at pretest to 95.7% at posttest (p = 0.000). The control group showed improvement only to the “adequate” category, with no children reaching the “good” category (p = 0.037). The Mann-Whitney analysis confirmed a significant posttest difference between the two groups (p = 0.000), indicating the superior effectiveness of the Mystery Card media. In conclusion, Mystery Card media significantly enhances dental health knowledge amongpreschool children, outperforming traditional instructional methods. Its interactive features, combining visual and auditory stimuli,create a more engaging learning experience that supports better comprehension and retention.

Abstract

Children with visual impairments are particularly vulnerable to poor oral hygiene due to limitations in visual perception and motor coordination, which hinder their ability to perform effective self-care. As a result, parental involvement plays a critical role in maintaining their oral and dental health. However, limited parental knowledge regarding appropriate oral health practices may contribute to inadequate hygiene outcomes in this population. This study aimed to examine the relationship between parents’ knowledge of oral and dental health maintenance and the oral hygiene status of visually impaired students at SMPLB-A and SMALB-A YPAB Surabaya. A descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 24 visually impaired students and their parents, selected through total sampling. Parental knowledge was assessed using a structured and validated questionnaire covering tooth-brushing techniques, appropriate brushing times, and dental care practices. The oral hygiene status of the students was evaluated clinically using the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S). Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test to determine the association between parental knowledge and children’s oral hygiene status. The results revealed that the majority of parents had a moderate level of oral health knowledge (58.3%), while only 33.3% demonstrated high knowledge. None of the students achieved a “good” oral hygiene status; 33.3% were categorized as “fair,” and 66.7% as “poor.” The mean OHI-S score was 3.49, exceeding the national target value of ≤1.2. Statistical analysis showed a strong and significant correlation between parental knowledge and oral hygiene status (ρ = 0.848; p < 0.05). In conclusion, higher parental knowledge of oral and dental health maintenance is strongly associated with better oral hygiene outcomes among visually impaired children. These findings highlight the need for targeted oral health education programs for parents to improve preventive care and oral health status in this vulnerable group.
