Abstract

Background: Dental and oral health is an important part of general health that plays a role in supporting quality of life. Low levels of knowledge about dental and oral health care are still one of the causes of high rates of dental caries among school-age children in Indonesia. Objective: This study aims to determine and compare the level of knowledge about dental and oral health among elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school students at Sekolah Alam Cikeas (SAC). Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive research design with a cross-sectional approach using a questionnaire instrument. The study sample consisted of 60 students, comprising 20 elementary students, 20  junior high school students, and 20  senior high school students of Sekolah Alam Cikeas. The questionnaire contained 30 questions covering three aspects, namely knowledge about brushing teeth, diet, and dental health check-ups at the dentist. Data analysis was performed descriptively by grouping knowledge categories into good, moderate, and poor. Results: The results showed that the majority of students at all levels of education had a good level of knowledge. Knowledge about brushing teeth showed a good percentage of 90% among elementary school students and 100% among junior high and high school students. Knowledge about diet was in the good category with a percentage of 90% among elementary and junior high school students and 95% among high school students. Knowledge about dental health control showed variation, namely 70% in the good category among elementary school students, 65% among junior high school students, and 90% among high school students. Conclusion: There is a tendency for an increase in the level of dental and oral health knowledge along with increasing levels of education. Knowledge about dental health control still needs to be improved, especially among elementary and junior high school students.

Abstract

Study environment became the factors triggering the anxiety, stress, and depression among students. During the COVID-19 restriction (2020-2022), the teaching and learning activities were shifted from campus to online class affecting the student’s mental state. The objectives of this study are to explore the factors that possibly contributed to anxiety, stress, and depression to pre-clinical and clinical students of YARSI Dentistry Faculty. The research was a cross-sectional study with the Stratified Random Sampling with the total of 425 both pre-clinical and clinical students of YARSI Dentistry Faculty. The total of 266 students (188 pre-clinical and 76 clinical) became the sample in this study with DASS (Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale) questionnaire with Google Form. We utilized the Logistic Regression Binomial for statistical analysis to estimate OR and find the predictors. The marriage status, housing, and length of study were considerably major predictor for anxiety, stress, and depression among students in DASS measurements. In multivariate analysis, renting accommodation was a considerable contributor for anxiety (AOR = 5.34 (3.1-9.41)) than living with family. Similarly, renting accommodation also affected both stress (AOR = 5.34 (3.1-9.41)) and depression (AOR = 6.57 (3.19-9.41)). In addition, length of study was possible a predictor (AOR = 1.79 (1.04-3.1)). The Study environment and social condition were possible contributing to mental state of students during COVID-19 restriction. The psychological assistances are considered important for students during COVID-19 restriction, especially the students with renting accommodation and studying more than 3 years.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental anxiety significantly affects patient comfort, pain perception, and clinical outcomes during dental treatment. Anxiety activates the sympathetic nervous system, lowers pain tolerance, and may increase avoidance behavior, resulting in prolonged treatment time and reduced treatment success. Therefore, painless dentistry has evolved as a patient-centered approach that aims not only to minimize pain through pharmacological techniques but also to reduce anxiety using evidence-based non-pharmacological interventions. Qur'anic recitation, which is a recording of the holy verses of the Al-Qur'an read by a qari (Qur'an reader) with a slow, tartil, and harmonious tempo in accordance with the rules of tajwid, is believed to have calming psychological and physiological effects. Aim: This systematic review examines the effectiveness of Qur’anic recitation in reducing dental anxiety as one of the supporting interventions in painless dentistry. Methods: A systematic search (2011–2025) was conducted using the keywords “Qur’an recitation”, “dental anxiety”, “painless dentistry”, and “spiritual intervention”. Fifty of the 161 studies that were found satisfied the inclusion requirements and were examined for patient satisfaction, physiological effects, and anxiety reduction. Results: Most studies showed significant anxiety reduction following Qur’anic recitation, often accompanied by decreased heart rate and blood pressure. The intervention performed comparably or better than music and other relaxation therapies. Patient satisfaction improved due to its spiritual and cultural relevance. Limitations included small sample sizes and heterogeneous methodologies. Conclusion: Qur’anic recitation is a promising, non-pharmacological adjunct for anxiety management in painless dentistry. Further large-scale randomized trials with standardized protocols are required to validate its effectiveness and clinical integration. Keywords: Anxiety, dentistry, painless dentistry, Quranic recitation, spiritual therapy.
