Abstract

Dental caries is the most common oral health problem experienced by the public, with plaque being the main cause. Brushing teeth is an effective method for removing plaque, where the brushing technique plays a crucial role in oral hygiene. Elementary Schools (SDN) 06 and 21 Taluak IV Suku regularly receive visits from the local health center every six months for dental check-ups. SDN 06 has never conducted a mass tooth brushing activity, while SDN 21 does it routinely every Wednesday, guided by trained student health officers. Preliminary studies showed that 60% of the children from both schools brush their teeth once a day using a horizontal technique. This study aims to compare the oral hygiene of 12-year-old children who use the combination of Fone’s-horizontal technique and the combination of roll-horizontal technique. The research design is a quasi-experimental study with pretest and posttest. The population consisted of 50 children, with 48 samples taken using the saturated sampling technique. Dental hygiene was measured using the Hygiene Index, and data were analyzed using the independent t-test (α < 0.05). The results showed an average improvement of 16% for the Fone’s-horizontal technique and 36% for the roll-horizontal technique, with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05). In conclusion, the roll-horizontal combination technique is more effective, and children are advised to brush their teeth using this technique twice a day to prevent dental and oral diseases.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems are still a serious concern in Indonesia. Based on SKI data in 2023, 56.9% of the population experienced dental and oral health problems, where dental caries is the most common problem caused by plaque. Vertical, horizontal, roll, and Fone's techniques are recommended techniques for children because they are simple and commonly used in everyday life. The purpose of this study was to prove the differences in dental and oral hygiene of children aged 11-12 years who brush their teeth with a combination of vertical, roll, horizontal and vertical, Fone’s, horizontal combination techniques at SDN 11 Bungo Tanjuang, Tanah Datar Regency. This study used a quasi experiment method with a pretest and posttest design. The population amounted to 42 people. Saturated sampling technique is used in sampling. Dental and oral hygiene is measured using the Hygiene Index. Data analysis was carried out using the Independent T-test statistical test. The results showed an average difference in oral hygiene for the vertical, roll, horizontal combination technique of 34% and for the vertical, Fone’s, horizonta combination technique of 18.95%, with a p-value of 0.000 (≤ 0.05). In conclusion, the combination of vertical, roll, and horizontal techniques is more effective in improving dental and oral hygiene scores. Students are advised to brush their teeth using the combination of vertical, roll, and horizontal techniques taught to them routinely twice daily to maintain dental and oral hygiene.
