Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of awareness regarding dental health and proper toothbrushing techniques among students, leading to high plaque indices. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of vertical, horizontal, and combined toothbrushing techniques in reducing plaque indices among students residing in Dormitory 2 at Hasanuddin University. The study employed a pre-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach. The sample consisted of 73 students divided into three groups based on the brushing technique applied. Data were collected through plaque index measurements before and after the intervention using the Personal Hygiene Performance (PHP) method. The results indicate that all three toothbrushing techniques effectively reduce plaque indices, with the highest average reduction observed in the group using the combination technique. Before treatment, the average score was 2.5, categorized as moderate, which decreased to 0.8 (good category) after treatment. The vertical technique had an average score of 2.7 (moderate) before treatment, decreasing to 1.8 (moderate) afterward. The horizontal technique had an average score of 2.0 (moderate) before treatment, which decreased to 1.6 (good) after treatment.

Abstract

Knowledge is the result of a thought process that plays an important role in shaping attitudes and behaviors. Parental knowledge greatly influences efforts to maintain children’s oral and dental health. Children aged 6–12 years require special attention because this period involves the transition from primary to permanent teeth, including the eruption of the first permanent molar, which plays a crucial role in mastication and dental arch development. Lack of parental knowledge may lead to delayed problem detection and suboptimal dental care. This study aimed to determine the level of parental knowledge regarding children’s first permanent molar teeth and the sources of information that contribute to increasing this knowledge. This research was a quantitative descriptive study conducted at RSGMP Unhas Makassar City from July to August 2025. The study population consisted of 210 parents who had children aged 6–12 years visiting RSGMP Unhas Makassar City, with a sample of 136 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and documentation, then analyzed and presented in frequency distribution tables. The results showed that most parents had a high level of knowledge regarding the first permanent molar teeth. However, good knowledge was not always followed by optimal dental care behavior. Parental education and occupation were found to influence knowledge levels. In conclusion, parental knowledge regarding first permanent molar teeth at RSGMP Unhas Makassar City is relatively high but not consistently aligned with children’s dental care practices. Continuous education is needed to ensure that knowledge can be effectively implemented in daily dental care.

Abstract

The high prevalence of malocclusion has led to an increased demand for fixed orthodontic treatment. This phenomenon is exploited by non-professional practitioners, which risks harming patients if the choice of practitioner is inappropriate; therefore, it is necessary to determine the level of knowledge underlying decision-making, taking into account differences in environment and access to information between boarding and non-boarding secondary school students, by comparing the level of knowledge of boarding and non-boarding secondary school students in Makassar regarding the selection of fixed orthodontic treat-ment practitioners. Using a quantitative method and an analytical observational design via a cross-sectional study approach, 150 respondents (75 boarding stu-dents and 75 non-boarding students) were involved in Biringkanaya District, Makassar City. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using an independent samples t-test, which showed that the mean knowledge level of non-boarding students (62.17) fell into the ‘adequate’ category, whilst that of boarding students (52.03) fell into the ‘inadequate’ category. Statistical analysis revealed a significant level of 0.000 (p<0.05), proving a significant difference in knowledge levels between the two groups. It was concluded that non-boarding students possess a higher level of knowledge regarding the selection of fixed orthodontic appliances.
