Abstract

Recent international studies have shown that saliva has some abilities to neutralize acidic situation in mouth, this ability is called as the saliva buffer capacity. In addition, saliva could influence tooth caries occurrence, which is because of that saliva is able to reduce of plaque accumulation on the tooth surface, and it therefore increases the carbohydrate cleansing from oral cavity. However little has known about salivary characteristics among school children and its relation to tooth decay.The objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between saliva characteristics, which are pH, the buffer capacity and saliva viscosity, and caries prevalence among school children in IJKGS program. The research method was analytical design with cross-sectional method classified as predictor study. The population was 1980 school children from some elementary schools implementing school based dental care programs organized by the Dental Health Department of Bandung Health Polytechnic. The study sample was 220 students chosen using the simple random sampling. The hypothesis testing was the multivariate regression linier analysis. The result has shown that there is a significant relation between pH of saliva and dental caries among school children (r = -0,666, p-value <0,001), while there is also a significant relation between the saliva buffer capacity and caries among school children (r = 0,588 p-value <0,001), however there is no significant relation between saliva viscosity and caries (r = 0,105, p value = 0,119). Simultaneously, there is a significant relation between three saliva characteristics and caries, which has shown by the value of multivariate coefficient correlation (R) that is 0.737. Meanwhile the value of Coefficient Determination (R-square) is 0.544, which explains that 54.4 % of changes in caries have been influenced by saliva characteristics.

Abstract

According to the Indonesia-National Adolescent Mental Health Survey 2022, 15.5 million (34.9 percent) teenagers experience mental problems and 2.45 million (5.5 percent) teenagers experience mental disorders. Youth mental health is considered a concern and the current situation may cause concern and require government action. Mental health has become a concern for the government, but has not yet become a priority. Awareness of the importance of mental health is still very low in Indonesia. Responding to the situation above, it is appropriate for the Indonesian people to educate each other and increase awareness about mental health. So it is necessary to instill awareness about mental health among teenagers. The methods used in community service consist of the preparatory stage of conducting a survey of the perceived mental health of junior high school students and interviews, the implementation stage by providing material for raising awareness about mental health to Muhammadiyah 2 Middle School students, the report and evaluation stage. The results of the mental health survey of students at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 showed symptoms. 12% of students answered always, 16% of students answered often, and 40% of students answered sometimes. Students answered never 62%. This means that the majority of junior high school students experience mental health problems at any time and according to the Likert scale table are included in the moderate category. Judging from the symptoms, this problem can still be overcome. The provision of material about mental health to Muhammadiyah 2 Middle School students was received with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, followed by discussion and questions and answers. Efforts to increase awareness about adolescent mental health by providing education involving all stakeholders: adolescents, parents, families, school principals, teachers and the community. It is hoped that this activity can increase youth productivity, avoid various diseases, improve communication skills and make life more successful.
