Abstract

Dental caries screening plays an essential role in identifying high-risk individuals, detecting early caries lesions, and supporting appropriate preventive and therapeutic interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of dental caries screening among patients in the working area of Kluet Timur Community Health Center, South Aceh. Methode is descriptive evaluative study with a quantitative approach was conducted. The study population included all patients receiving dental examinations within the service area of Kluet Timur Community Health Center, with samples selected through purposive sampling. Data were obtained through direct observation, document review, and screening evaluation instruments. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The findings indicated that dental caries screening activities had been carried out in accordance with established procedures, including oral examinations, documentation of clinical findings, and the determination of appropriate follow-up care. However, several obstacles were identified, including limited healthcare resources, insufficient public awareness regarding regular dental examinations, and incomplete documentation of screening outcomes. Overall, the implementation of dental caries screening at Kluet Timur Community Health Center was categorized as adequate and supported early detection of dental caries cases. The concludes that although the screening program has been implemented effectively, improvements are still needed, particularly in strengthening documentation systems, enhancing oral health education, and improving patient follow-up monitoring. Continuous evaluation and development of oral health promotion strategies are recommended to optimize the effectiveness of dental caries screening services.

Abstract

Oral hygiene is an essential indicator of health among school-aged children and plays a significant role in preventing dental caries and other oral diseases. Inadequate toothbrushing practices, limited knowledge of oral health, and insufficient access to health education contribute to the high prevalence of dental plaque and poor oral hygiene in this population. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various health education media in improving oral hygiene among school-aged children. The review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, SpringerLink, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar. Articles were selected using the PICO framework, with school-aged children (6–12 years) as the population, health education media as the intervention, conventional education or no intervention as the comparator, and outcomes including oral health knowledge, toothbrushing behavior, plaque scores, oral hygiene indices, and overall oral health status. Only experimental and quasi-experimental studies published in English or Indonesian between 2016 and 2026 were included. The findings demonstrated that interactive educational media, including animated videos, educational games, smartphone-based applications, audiovisual materials, and live demonstrations, produced greater improvements in oral health knowledge, attitudes, toothbrushing skills, and reductions in plaque scores than conventional printed educational materials. Furthermore, multimodal educational approaches combined with hands-on practice achieved more sustained behavioral changes than one-way health education sessions. In conclusion, health education media are effective in improving oral hygiene among school-aged children. These findings support the integration of innovative educational media into school-based oral health promotion programs to enhance children's oral health behaviors and long-term preventive outcomes
