Abstract

Oral health in elementary school children requires serious attention because improper brushing habits can cause plaque buildup and increase the risk of dental caries. One effort that can be done is through dental health education using interesting media, such as animated videos, because they are easier to understand and can increase children's interest in learning. This media is also considered effective in conveying information visually and audibly so that children can more easily remember the correct steps for brushing their teeth. This research seeks to ascertain the effectiveness of education using animated videos on how to brush teeth on plaque index scores in students at Darul Hikmah Islamic Elementary School in Makassar City. This research employed a one-group pretest-posttest methodology in a quasi-experimental design. The research sample consisted of 45 students in grades I, II, and III. Plaque scores were measured before and after education using the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) method and plaque colour identification with Tri Plaque ID Gel. The findings demonstrated that the average plaque index score before education was 4.42±0.61 and decreased to 2.52±0.46 after education, with a difference decrease  of 1.90. Based on the Tri Plaque ID Gel examination, before the education, blue plaque was found in 22 students, purple in 19 students, and pink in 4 students. After the education, there was a decrease in blue plaque in 12 students and purple to 16 students and an increase in pink plaque in 17 students. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a p value = 0.000, so there was a significant difference. The animated video education was proven to be effective in reducing plaque.

Abstract

Oral and dental health among deaf children deserves particular attention, since their communication limitations often make it difficult for them to grasp proper oral hygiene practices. A pop-up book is one educational medium suitable for this purpose, given its visual, attractive, and easy-to-understand nature. This study examined the extent to which preventive and promotive activities using pop-up media could improve oral and dental health behavior among deaf children at SLB Negeri 1 Makassar. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach was applied. Forty deaf students were involved as the sample through a total sampling technique. Data were gathered using questionnaires, observation, and oral hygiene index examinations (OHI-S). Since the data were not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon test was used for analysis. Findings revealed improvement across all measured aspects following the intervention. The proportion in the good category rose from 15% to 72.5% for knowledge, from 22.5% to 72.5% for attitude, from 17.5% to 87.5% for action, and from 22.5% to 82.5% for OHI-S status. The Wilcoxon test produced a significance value of p=0.000 (<0.05) across all variables, indicating a genuine improvement in oral and dental health behavior following pop-up-based education. It can therefore be concluded that pop-up media serves as an effective preventive and promotive tool for enhancing oral and dental health behavior among deaf children.
