Abstract

Background: In the digital age, especially in Indonesia, generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) is expanding quickly and has enormous potential to enhance dental education. Digital technology facilitates personalized learning, case simulation, and clinical comprehension. One example of adaptive learning is online education. This flexibility promotes the application of Gen AI in education. The perceived value of Gen AI is thought to improve students’ academic resilience in the face of stress and learning shifts. But it’s still unclear how they relate, especially to dental students who have demanding coursework. Purpose: To investigate dental medicine students’ academic resilience and their perception of Gen AI’s utility. Methods: A Likert-scale questionnaire was used in this study’s quantitative cross-sectional design, and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS SEM) was used for analysis. Total sampling was used to include all enrolled dentistry students at Universitas Ciputra Surabaya (n = 36). Active students and prior use of Gen artificial intelligence (AI) were prerequisites for inclusion. Students with incomplete responses or those on academic leave were not included. Results: The average academic resilience score was 4.067 ± 0.83, and the average perceived usefulness score was 4.232 ± 0.85. Academic resilience was significantly predicted by perceived usefulness (β = 0.544; t = 2.612; p < 0.01), accounting 29.6% of its variance (R² = 0.296). Conclusion: Dental medicine students’ academic resilience in the digital age was substantially correlated with their perception of Gen AI’s utility. AI integration could improve dental education and help dental medicine students succeed academically.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is among the most prevalent chronic diseases in children worldwide, assessed using the decayed-extracted filled teeth index for primary teeth and the Decayed-Missing-Filled Teeth index for permanent teeth. Nutritional status, measured by body mass index, may share common behavioral risk factors with dental caries. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between body mass index and combined caries experience among 10–12-year-old schoolchildren in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 51 schoolchildren aged 10–12 years at Elementary School (sekolah dasar negeri/SDN) Keputran, Surabaya. Body mass index was calculated from measured body weight and height. Dental caries was assessed according to World Health Organization criteria using the decayed-extracted-filled teeth and Decayed-MissingFilled Teeth indices. The combined caries score was correlated with body mass index using Spearman correlation and negative binomial regression at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean body mass index was 17.70 ± 4.04 kg/m². The mean decayed-extracted-filled teeth, Decayed-Missing-Filled Teeth, and combined scores were 0.78 ± 1.51, 1.35 ± 2.05, and 2.14 ± 2.48, respectively. Spearman correlation showed a significant negative correlation between body mass index and combined caries experience (r = -0.33; p = 0.018). Regression analysis indicated that each one-unit increase in body mass index was associated with a lower combined caries score (incidence rate ratio = 0.87; 95% confidence interval: 0.79–0.96; p = 0.007). Conclusion: Body mass index showed a significant inverse relationship with combined caries experience among 10–12-year-old schoolchildren. Higher body mass index values were associated with lower combined caries scores.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral diseases among school-aged children and continues to be a major public health concern. In Indonesia, Basic Health Research reported that 92.6% of children experience oral health problems, with dental caries being the most common condition. Although oral health knowledge is considered an important factor in caries prevention, its relationship with dental caries status remains inconsistent. Purpose: To analyze the age and oral health knowledge in relation to dental caries status among 11–12-year-old students. Methods: An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 50 students aged 11–12 years. Oral health knowledge was assessed using 10 multiple-choice questions questionnaire and categorized as good, moderate, or poor. Dental caries status was evaluated through clinical examination using the DMF-T index based on the WHO criteria and classified into low and high categories. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Most students demonstrated moderate oral health knowledge (64%) and low caries status (86%). No significant association was found between age and dental caries status (p = 0.86). or between oral health knowledge and dental caries status (p > 0.05). Students with good oral knowledge showed lower odds of high caries status (OR = 0.64), although the association was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Age and oral health knowledge were not significantly associated with dental caries status among students aged 11-12 years. Other factors may contribute to the development of dental caries in school-aged children.
