Abstract

Edentulism is the condition of losing all permanent teeth in the upper and lower jaws, which can impair masticatory function. Masticatory performance is influenced by various factors, one of which is the salivary flow rate, which is also affected by age. This study aimed to determine the average salivary flow rate and masticatory performance, as well as their correlation based on age in complete denture (CD) wearers at the Dental and Oral Hospital of Universitas Sumatera Utara. This research is a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design involving 20 respondents, consisting of 10 adults (aged 19–59 years) and 10 elderly individuals (aged ≥60 years). The salivary flow rate was measured using the spitting method with sugar-free chewing gum, and masticatory performance was assessed using the color-changeable chewing gum method and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results showed that the average salivary flow rate in adults was 3.18 ± 0.91 ml/min, and in the elderly was 2.29 ± 1.29 ml/min. The average masticatory performance score in adults was 3.8 ± 1.14, and in the elderly was 3.4 ± 1.17. Spearman correlation test showed a significant correlation between salivary flow rate and masticatory performance in both adults (p=0.014) and the elderly (p=0.049). In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between salivary flow rate and masticatory performance based on age. Adult patients demonstrated better salivary flow rates and masticatory performance than elderly patients.

Abstract

Dental caries is a disease that is mostly found in the oral cavity together with periodontal disease, so it is a major problem of dental and oral health. Based on the results of basic health research (RISKESDAS) in 2007 in 28 Indonesian provinces, it was found that the prevalence of caries in Indonesia was 67.4%, while the prevalence of active caries (untreated caries) was 43.4%. Many children have cavities and residual roots. Children are not able to independently maintain the health of their teeth and mouth. Apart from parents, school teachers have a big role in improving children's oral and dental health. The role of the teacher is meaningful in this case, because the teacher will meet almost every day with the child. However, the reality is that school teachers do not have skills in maintaining oral health, and the level of knowledge about oral health is still low. Therefore, community service for children is needed in the form of dental health education and joint tooth brushes. Besides that, skills training on brushing teeth also needs to be carried out for teachers. The aim of this service is to improve children's dental health by providing dental health education, joint brushing and increasing teacher knowledge and skills in helping to brush teeth in school children. The method of implementing community service is in the form of dental health education for children, and conducting training for school teachers on oral and dental health. It is hoped that with the dedication carried out, there will be an increase in dental and oral health in children and an increase in knowledge and skills of school teachers.
