Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Dentists play a significant role in preventing the transmission of 2019-nCoV. Recommended infection control measures during dental practice can block the route of person-to-person transmission. Dentists and their personnel are used to assess the risk of cross-infection. This study aimed to obtain dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of licensed dentists using the convenience sampling technique. The minimum sample size was counted using the formula for a descriptive analysis of one group with the expected proportion of 50% and the confidence level of 95%, and obtained 407 respondents from 31 provinces. Data was collected using a questionnaire distributed via a shortened link. 99.75% of respondents knew personal protective equipment, but only 84.28% knew the proper removal procedure. 99.75% of respondents knew about dental devices that cause aerosols, and all respondents knew about social and physical distancing. Result: Dentists’ attitudes regarding personal protective equipment were that they needed and maintained it during the pandemic. All respondents stated that social and physical distancing was critical and must be maintained while providing health services. Regarding their practices, all respondents did social and physical distancing in their daily lives and during dental procedures. Conclusion: Dentists' knowledge is already good in several ways, but with several matters that still need to be improved, their attitudes and practices are good criteria. Keywords: smart Odontogram; medical record; application; usability testing; user’s experience

Introduction: Oral health education aims to enable an individual to maintain oral health, one of which is tooth brushing. Education media can determine its success. As the development of technology, audiovisual media is also developing. Audiovisual media are commonly used nowadays for educational purpose in many fields, and simulation media in many forms are often used for education. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of audiovisual media in the form of animated film and simulation media in the form of a dental model on toothbrushing skills. Methods: Quasi-experimental that tend to comparative analytics was conducted with the sample that was taken by purposive sampling technique. Forty students of Ciganitri 2 State Elementary School (SDN Ciganitri 2) aged 12-year old participated in this study. The students were divided into two groups; the first group received an education with an animated film, and the second group received an education with dental models. Measurement of the students’ toothbrushing skills performed with pre-test and post-test. All data calculated by independent t-test in each group. Results: The film group and the study model group intervention have equal effectiveness. The paired t-test between the two groups resulted in no significant difference between the effectiveness of audiovisual media and simulation media on the students’ toothbrushing skills. Conclusion: Audiovisual media and simulation media group intervention effectively improve toothbrushing skills.Keywords: Audiovisual media, simulation media, toothbrushing skill.
