Abstract

Background: Dental ergonomics plays a crucial role in preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among dental professionals, including dental students who are beginning clinical practice. Studies from 2020–2025 indicate that although students possess basic ergonomic knowledge, its practical application remains low and MSD complaints are still prevalent, highlighting the need to examine differences in knowledge across educational stages. Objective: To assess and compare dental ergonomics knowledge between second-year and final-year dental students.Methods: This comparative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from January to April 2025 using a validated and reliable ergonomics knowledge questionnaire. Samples were selected through stratified random sampling from eligible second-year and final-year students. Data were analysed using the Mann-Whitney test.Results: A total of 158 students participated. The instrument demonstrated strong validity and reliability. As the data were not normally distributed, non-parametric analysis was applied. A significant difference in knowledge levels was found between the two groups (p = 0.035), with final-year students scoring higher.Conclusion: Dental ergonomics knowledge differed significantly by academic level, suggesting that longer academic exposure and preclinical experience contribute to improved understanding of ergonomics.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to conduct early detection of oral health problems through simple preliminary examinations using clinical instruments, while improving students’ knowledge through oral health education as an effort to prevent dental and oral diseases. The program involved 110 students from the Indonesian Schools in Jeddah and Mecca. The activity was implemented using a health empowerment approach, with dental and oral examinations conducted using the Oral Health Surveys: Basic Methods issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). The collected data were analyzed based on frequencies and percentages. The screening results showed a high prevalence of dental caries, with 51.8% of students having a DMF-T score > 0. The 10–12-year age group accounted for the highest proportion of caries cases at 73.6%. The most commonly required treatment recommendation was dental fillings, representing 38.2% of cases. The high prevalence of caries among diaspora students highlights the importance of sustainable early detection programs and oral health education. This intervention is expected to foster good oral hygiene habits from an early age in order to prevent more severe dental diseases in the future.
