Abstract

Dental caries is the most common oral health problem experienced by the public, with plaque being the main cause. Brushing teeth is an effective method for removing plaque, where the brushing technique plays a crucial role in oral hygiene. Elementary Schools (SDN) 06 and 21 Taluak IV Suku regularly receive visits from the local health center every six months for dental check-ups. SDN 06 has never conducted a mass tooth brushing activity, while SDN 21 does it routinely every Wednesday, guided by trained student health officers. Preliminary studies showed that 60% of the children from both schools brush their teeth once a day using a horizontal technique. This study aims to compare the oral hygiene of 12-year-old children who use the combination of Fone’s-horizontal technique and the combination of roll-horizontal technique. The research design is a quasi-experimental study with pretest and posttest. The population consisted of 50 children, with 48 samples taken using the saturated sampling technique. Dental hygiene was measured using the Hygiene Index, and data were analyzed using the independent t-test (α < 0.05). The results showed an average improvement of 16% for the Fone’s-horizontal technique and 36% for the roll-horizontal technique, with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05). In conclusion, the roll-horizontal combination technique is more effective, and children are advised to brush their teeth using this technique twice a day to prevent dental and oral diseases.

Abstract

Women are generally more susceptible to dental and oral diseases, one of which is gum inflammation (gingivitis), caused by bacterial plaque infection. Untreated gingivitis in adolescents can lead to further complications in the periodontal tissues. Gingivitis treatment can be carried out by gargling with traditional ingredients that are safe for adolescents and do not cause harmful side effects. One natural traditional ingredient that can be used is a turmeric solution mouthwash, which contains antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. This study aims to determine the changes in the gingival index of respondents suffering from gingivitis after gargling with turmeric solution at the Department of Dental Health, Poltekkes Kemenkes Padang. The research employed a quasi-experimental method by administering a turmeric solution gargle to respondents with gingivitis, and then examining their gingival index after three days of use. The study population consisted of all students at the Department of Dental Health, Poltekkes Kemenkes Padang. The sample was taken from students in the department using a judgement sampling technique. Data were analysed using a paired t-test. The results showed that before gargling with turmeric solution, the most common gingival index categories among respondents were moderate and severe (each 44.4%), whereas after gargling, the majority fell into the mild category (55.5%). The paired t-test yielded a p-value of 0.001. In conclusion, there is a significant effect of gargling turmeric solution on gingival index in patients with gingivitis. It is recommended for further research to research the optimal formulation and concentration of turmeric solution, as well as the safety of its long-term use for adolescents and other age groups.
