Abstract

Background: The elderly are a population group experiencing physical, psychological, and social changes. In elderly women, these changes tend to be more complex due to biological and hormonal factors. These changes can affect functional ability and overall health, including oral health. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) is an important aspect that needs to be considered to improve the well-being of elderly women. Existing literature on this subject with focus on elderly women is still limited. This study aims to describe the quality of life and oral health status of elderly women in Tajur Village, Purwakarta. Methods: This is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design in the form of a pilot study. There were 12 respondents obtained using total sampling technique. Results: The majority of respondents were in the 60-74 age group (83.3%). The results revealed that 9 (75%) respondents had a low quality of life and 3 (25%) respondents had a moderate quality of life. No respondents were found with a high quality of life. Conclusion: Low GOHAI score indicates limitations in physical, psychological, and functional aspects. These findings indicate that the OHRQoL among elderly women remains low and requires further management.

Abstract

Introduction: Caries is a common oral health problem among Indonesian children and is strongly influenced by poor oral hygiene. RISKESDAS data indicate that caries prevalence remains high, with the DMFT index measuring caries experience and the OHI-S assessing oral hygiene. This study describes oral hygiene status and dental caries among primary school children as a basis for preventive program planning. Method: This research is a cross-sectional study, was conducted during a social service activity by the Faculty of Dentistry, UMEDS, in Bojong Village, Purwakarta. The sample included 5th–6th grade students aged 10–12 years who underwent clinical examinations. Caries was recorded using the DMFT index, and oral hygiene was assessed using the OHI-S. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: OHI-S results showed 8.6% good, 55.7% moderate, and 35.7% poor hygiene. DMFT scores indicated 11.4% very low, 10% low, 32.9% moderate, 22.9% high, and 22.9% very high categories. Conclusion: These findings show that most children have suboptimal oral hygiene and considerable caries experience, reinforcing the association between poor hygiene and higher DMFT and OHI-S values. The results provide essential information for planning oral health promotion and prevention efforts.
