Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the difference of plaque acidity between chewing sucrose dark chocolate and xylitol dark chocolate in children aged 10-12 years. Methodology: Quantitative research using by a quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group design. Twenty-one children had their plaque acidity measured before and after chewing sucrose dark chocolate and xylitol dark chocolate. Measurement of the plaque acidity before chewing sucrose and xylitol dark chocolate was carried out by taking plaque samples using an excavator on the buccal, palatal, or lingual, and proximal surfaces of the first permanent molars, then dissolving them in a test beaker containing 2.5 ml of deionized water. Measurement of the degree of plaque pH is carried out using a pH meter which is measured three times and the final result is obtained from the average. The same procedure was carried out to measure the degree of plaque acidity after 20 minutes of chewing sucrose and xylitol dark chocolate. The measurement results were analyzed using the independent t-test. Results: Data analysis was carried out using an independent t-test and tabulated using SPSS 22. There was a significant difference in plaque acidity between subjects who chewed sucrose dark chocolate (x̄ = 6.2794 ± 0.11425) and xylitol dark chocolate (x̄ = 6.4079 ± 0.10269). Applications/Originality/Value: The difference between this study and previous research is this study measured differences in the degree of plaque acidity in subjects who chewed sucrose dark chocolate and xylitol dark chocolate the measurement time was used as a variable.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental health in children plays a crucial role in their growth and development. According to the RISKESDAS results in 2018, 54% of children aged 5-9 years experience dental and oral health problems. Parents play a vital role in the oral health care of children and initiate visits to the dentist. Factors influencing parents to take their children to the dentist include motivation. This research aims to provide an overview of parents’ motivation during their child's first visit to the dentist. Methods: This study involved 126 parents with children aged 7-9 years, with ethical approval from Dr. Moewardi Hospital Number 1.981/XI/HREC/2023. Inclusion criteria were parents of Nur Hidayah Elementary School students with children aged 7-9 years, having experience taking their children to the dentist, living with the child, and being willing to participate. Data collection was conducted in October-November 2023, using a Google Form consisting of 11 questions. Results: The research results indicate that the highest percentage of children's dental visits is at the age of >5 - ≤ 7 years, accounting for 37% . The percentage of parental motivation during the child's first visit to the dentist is divided into 57% internal motivation and 43% external motivation. The primary motivation for the visit is dental complaints, accounting for 61.9% , including tooth extraction (37%), restoration (12%), toothache (8%), orthodontic (2%), caries (2%), calculus (1%), and trauma (1%). The results also show that 33% come for routine check-ups, 2% for preventive care, and 2% to introduce the dental profession. Conclusion: Parents have higher external motivation than internal motivation during their child's first visit to the dentist. The most common reason for parents to take their child to the dentist is dental complaints, with the most common complaint is tooth extraction.

Abstract

Introduction: Chocolate is a popular sweet treat among children. The sugar used in chocolate can lead to the development of dental plaque and impact the process of teeth demineralization and remineralization. Until now, there has not been much research on how the acidity of dental plaque differs when children aged 10-12 consume chocolate sweetened with sucrose compared to chocolate sweetened with stevia. This study aims to explore and compare the effects of sucrose chocolate and stevia chocolate on the acidity of dental plaque in children aged 10-12 years. Methods: In this study, the researchers employed quasi-experimental research methods. The research received approval from the Ethical Committee of Health Research at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, indicated by Ethical Clearance Number 1.884/X/HREC/2023. Initially, on the first day, the researchers measured the plaque pH of twenty-one children aged 10-12 years from SD Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta. This measurement was done before any intervention by using an excavator on all surfaces of their back teeth – the outer, inner, and in-between surfaces. The researchers combined the collected plaque with 2.5 ml of deionized water in a properly labelled sterile container. The plaque pH was measured using a pH metre (Hanna, Romania), calibrated beforehand with a pH 7 solution. The subjects then consumed 30% sucrose chocolate for 60 seconds. Twenty minutes after this intervention, the researchers measured the plaque pH using the same method. On the second day, the same subjects were instructed to consume 1% stevia chocolate, again using the same method. The results, specifically the average difference in plaque pH before and after the interventions on the two days, were analysed using an independent T-test. Results: The findings revealed that the average plaque pH before eating sucrose chocolate was 6.6222 ± 0.13137, and after consumption, it decreased to 6.2794 ± 0.11425. Before consuming stevia chocolate, the average plaque pH was 6.6746 ± 0.13536, and after consumption, it decreased to 6.4794 ± 0.13059. The average difference in plaque pH before and after consuming sucrose chocolate was 0.3429 ± 0.08508, whereas for stevia, it was 0.1952 ± 0.08517. According to the independent t-test, there was a notable difference in plaque pH between children aged 10-12 years who consumed sucrose chocolate and those who consumed stevia chocolate (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the findings from the study comparing the plaque pH in 10-12-year-old children after consuming sucrose chocolate and stevia chocolate, it can be concluded that there is indeed a disparity in plaque pH between the two types of chocolate. Specifically, the plaque pH in children who consumed sucrose chocolate was lower than that in those who consumed stevia chocolate.

Abstract

Introduction: Children enjoy eating sweet treats like chocolate, which often contains sugar as a sweetener. This can influence the pH of saliva and affect the processes of demineralization and remineralization in teeth. Up until now, there has not been any research on the variation in saliva pH when consuming regular chocolate (with sucrose) compared to chocolate sweetened with stevia in children aged 10-12 years. This study aims to explore the differences in saliva pH between children in this age group who consume sucrose chocolate and those who consume stevia chocolate. Methods: In this study, a Quasi-Experimental design was employed, and approval was granted by the Ethical Committee of Health Research at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital under Ethical Clearance Number 2.045/XI/HREC/2023. Initially, twenty-one children aged 10-12 years from SD Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta had their saliva measured before any intervention. They were then given chocolate containing 30% sucrose for 60 seconds. Ten minutes after this intervention, the children were asked to collect saliva in their mouths and spit out 2ml into a sterile container. The collected saliva was then tested for pH using a pH metre (Hanna brand, Romania). On the following day, the subjects were instructed to consume chocolate sweetened with 1% stevia using the same method. The average difference in saliva pH before and two days after the intervention was analysed using an independent T-Test on the saliva pH difference. Results: The research discovered that the average change in saliva pH before and after eating sucrose chocolate was 0.3413 ± 0.12557, while for stevia chocolate, it was 0.1444 ± 0.07698. Tests for normal distribution (Shapiro-wilk test) and data homogeneity (Levene’s homogeneity test) both indicated acceptable conditions (p>0.05). The independent T-Test revealed significant differences in saliva pH between children aged 10-12 years when consuming sucrose chocolate compared to stevia chocolate (p<0.05). Conclusion: In summary, the study on saliva pH differences in 10-12-year-old children after eating sucrose chocolate compared to stevia chocolate indicates that there is indeed a distinction in saliva pH between the two. Children who consumed sucrose chocolate showed a lower saliva pH compared to those who consumed stevia chocolate.

Abstract

Introduction: Chocolate is a widely consumed food, particularly by children. It is often considered a contributing factor to the development of dental caries due to its high sugar content, which can lead to the formation of dental caries. Aim: This study aimed to determine whether consuming dark chocolate sweetened with sucrose, xylitol, and stevia would reduce saliva acidity in children aged 10-12 years. Methods: Twenty-one children aged 10-12 years were given dark chocolate with three sweeteners: 30% sucrose, 30% xylitol, and 1% stevia. The subjects' saliva was collected 10 minutes after chewing chocolate with sucrose on day 1, chocolate with xylitol on day 2, and chocolate with stevia on day 3 for 30 seconds and then measured by a pH meter. The measurement was repeated thrice. Result: The difference in mean saliva pH before and after treatment with the three types of chocolate were analysed using the One-way ANOVA test.  A decline in pH was observed in all treatment groups; however, the most significant decrease was observed in the sucrose chocolate group (0.34 ± 0.12), followed by the stevia chocolate group (0.26 ± 0.09), and the least significant decrease was observed in the xylitol chocolate group (0.14 ± 0.07). Conclusion: A statistically significant difference was observed in the decrease in saliva acidity among children aged 10-12 years who consumed dark chocolate containing sucrose, xylitol, and stevia

Abstract

Introduction: The results of the 2018 Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) survey stated that the prevalence of children's tooth persistence in the mandibula was 66.23%, and in the maxilla it was 33.77%.  The primary factor influencing the process of tooth eruption in children is their attention to dental health. Health promotion using educational game media can improve knowledge about tooth eruption and make it less boring. Educational games for children aged 7–10 years include puzzles and flash cards. The objective is to evaluate the impact of educational media puzzles and flashcards on children's understanding of tooth eruption. Method: This type of research is quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design. The study was conducted on 97 children aged 7-10 years at SD Muhammadiyah 16 Karangasem, Laweyan, Surakarta. The study began with a pretest. Small groups of 5-7 children and 1 researcher played the game. Each small group was given puzzle or flashcard media. The game was played every morning for 7 days; on the seventh day, a posttest was conducted. Results: Flashcard pretest scores, flashcard posttest scores, puzzle pretest scores, puzzle posttest scores. Each group's dependent t-test yielded a p-value of 0.000, while the independent t-test yielded p-values of 0.099 and 0.115. Conclusion: Flashcard and puzzle educational media are each effective in increasing children's knowledge about tooth eruption, but there is no significant difference when the two are compared.
