Abstract

Every year, the fields of medicine and dentistry in Indonesia require more dental skills to provide excellent service and improve the quality of care. Oral health in children often shows suboptimal conditions, with a lot of plaque and other deposits on their teeth. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), half of the population over 3 years old complains about dental problems, with South Sulawesi having the second-highest rate at 68.4%. Of the 56.9% of people experiencing dental problems, only 11.2% visit a dentist. Between the ages of 8 and 12, dental changes require more intensive care, with a child’s motivation and support from their environment influencing their oral hygiene. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the frequency of dental visits and the oral health status of elementary school children in the working area of Mamajang Health Center, Makassar City. It was an analytical observational study with a sample of 120 elementary school students in the Mamajang Health Center area. Data were collected through questionnaires and intraoral examinations using the OHI-S index. Of the students, 69.2% had low dental visit frequency, and 31.7% had good oral hygiene status. No significant relationship was found between the frequency of dental visits and oral hygiene status (P-Value > 0.05). The frequency of dental visits does not significantly affect the oral hygiene status of elementary school students.

Abstract

Introduction: Every human being, including prisoners, has the right to general health and dental health. Prisoners have the right to receive treatment, both spiritual and physical, namely health services. Dental and oral health status is a health problem in Indonesia that has received little attention. In West Sulawesi Province, 68.4% had dental problems, 78.3% received treatment, and 93.0% never sought treatment. Based on research results, dental and oral health care facilities in prisons are still very limited, making it difficult for prisoners to get treatment. Therefore, researchers want to know the behavior and dental health status of prisoners at the research location. Materials and Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional research design. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling, where the samples that met the inclusion criteria were 109. Results and Discussion: Oral health maintenance behavior in the sufficient category is 47 prisoners (37.06%), dental caries status in the Decay Missing Filled-Teeth (DMF-T) score category is very high, namely 41 prisoners (37.06%), oral hygiene status and Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S) category is moderate, 79 prisoners (72.48%). The results of the correlation or relationship test using Spearman, p-value <0.001, which means that there is a relationship between oral health behavior with DMF-T and OHI-S scores. Conclusion: From the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between oral health maintenance behavior and DMFT and OHI-S caries scores in prisoners at Class IIB Polewali Mandar Prison, West Sulawesi.
