Abstract

Few studies have reported the role of motivation in patient adherence to dental-care programmes or dental home care and prevention of oral disease, particularly in Indonesia. Objective: To cross-adapt the Self-Regulation for Dental Home Care Questionnaire (SRDHCQ) to the Indonesian version, and to study self-regulation for dental home care among adolescents. Methods: The SRDHCQ was cross culturally adapted to the Indonesian adolescents aged 12-13 years old to test its reliability and validity. Intraoral examination was conducted by a single examiner to analyse the number of decayed teeth. The SRDHCQ contains 22 questions with a 7-point scale, which comprises of integrated, identified, introjected, external regulation and amotivation domains. Respondents were randomly selected from 11 junior high schools at six districts in Jakarta. Results: Total respondents studied were 317 students, with prevalence of 71% of the students having decayed teeth, and average number decayed teeth was 2.1. The test and test-retest reliability and Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency were 0.838 and 0.929, respectively. No significant difference was observed in total SRDHCQ scores between genders. Construct and discriminant validity analysis showed significant results. Conclusions: Our results support the reliability and validity of the Indonesian SRDHCQ for adolescents in Indonesia.

Abstract

Fluoride and calcium play an important role in the prevention of dental caries, promoting the inhibition of demineralization and the increase of remineralization. Objective: To investigate the effects of milk with/without the combination of tea and 0.2% NaF on enamel demineralization using micro-computed tomography (microCT). Methods: The coronal parts of 40 extracted sound premolars were prepared as tooth blocks. An unvarnished occlusal surface window was created for each tooth by covering the occlusal surface with a 3x5 mm2 sticker and painting all other surfaces with an acid-resistant varnish. These blocks were randomly allocated into four groups that were immersed in remineralizing solutions for 26 minutes: Group A, milk; Group B, milk and tea; Group C, milk and 0.2% NaF; and Group D, deionized water (control). Results: After 3 days of immersion in a buffered demineralization solution at pH 4.4, micro-CT scans were taken. The mean grayscale values and the standard deviations are: 98.1 ± 24.0; 90.8 ± 9.1; 92.6 ± 21.4; 81.1 ± 20.3, respectively. The mean grayscale values were significantly different among the four groups (p

Abstract

Epidemiological study of tooth brushing is essential to evaluate dental health of a country. Objective: To obtain data on tooth brushing frequency, time of day and duration from adults and children in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: Toothbrushes containing data loggers were distributed to 120 random families in Jakarta to record how many times a day, when and for how long subjects brushed their teeth. The families were each composed of a mother, father and two children aged between 6 and 15 years. Results: The mean brushing frequency of the population was 1.27 times per day. The majority of the tooth brushing (46%) was performed in the morning. The mean tooth brushing duration of this population was 57.29 seconds. The mothers’ tooth brushing frequencies tended to be higher than that of the other family members, and the fathers tended to brush their teeth longer. Conclusion: Effective education aimed at increasing both the duration and frequency of tooth brushing from once to twice per day is urgently required in Indonesia.
