Abstract

Caries at an early age is a global problem that affects almost half of preschool children, the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) globally varies widely. One of the causes of caries in children less than 5 years old is the delay in the first visit to the dentist. The purpose of this study is to identify patterns of service utilization and obstacles that cause low visits to dentists so that programs can be planned that are able to increase the number of dental visits. A literature review was conducted using PubMed, ProQuest, SpringerLink, and ScienceDirect databases with keywords such as Dental care, Dental attendance, dental utilization, and Oral health promotion. The data were then thematically analyzed to uncover trends, common challenges, and effective interventions across the literature. The results of this systematic review show a pattern in visiting the dentist, including visiting for routine dental checkups, preventive treatments, acute pain conditions that have been experienced and trauma. The patterns of use of dental and oral health services in children are influenced by the level of parental education, the type of dental health care that is covered by limited health insurance, low socio-economic factors, socio-demographic factors, and lack of adequate insurance. This study aims to offer valuable insights into the patterns of dental care utilization and the obstacles preventing higher visitation rates to dental services. The findings are synthesized to highlight consistencies and gaps, ultimately providing insights to inform the development of programs aimed at improving dental visit rates.

Abstract

Introduction:  Oral health is essential for children's mental and physical well-being. Caries is one of the most common oral diseases worldwide, especially in children. One of the contributing factors to this disease is parental engagement. Parents play a crucial role in children’s oral health, especially their Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP). Teledentistry is one of the innovative ways to improve parental KAP due to technological advancements in leveraging the number of smartphones and the internet. Teledentistry could help parents/caregivers obtain education, consultation, diagnosis, and treatment planning about oral health via remote connection without going to dental offices. This engagement of parents/caregivers through teledentistry could build good oral health in children. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of smartphone applications for teledentistry in parental KAP related to children's oral health. Methods: This review followed PRISMA guidelines. We searched the articles in five databases (PubMed, EBSCOhost via Medline, Embase, ProQuest, and Scopus) using specific keywords and a PICO framework from January 2018 to December 2023. Two reviewers independently selected the articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected articles were extracted and assessed for risk of bias using MMAT tool. Results: Of the 1529 articles initially identified, 14 met the inclusion criteria. All smartphone application reviewed were designed for parents/caregivers and integrated with teledentistry; however, only two applications incorporated with artificial intelligence. All application showed good assessment through application tests using SUS (3 articles), JN’s principles (1 article), Net Promotor Score (1 article), MARS (1 article), TAM (1 articles), and sensitivity and specificity tests (2 articles). Parental/caregiver engagement was assessed through their Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP). This has impacted the children’s oral health by improving both the plaque and gingival index. Conclusion: Smartphone applications for teledentistry effectively increase the engagement and KAP of the parents/caregivers, significantly improving the oral health status of the children.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) pose significant challenges in treating patients, including individuals with hearing impairments. Visual aids have been reported to be helpful in modifying hearing-impaired people’s behavior. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of visual strategies in reducing DFA among people with hearing impairments. Method: A literature search was conducted across five research databases, PubMed, ProQuest, EBSCOhost via Medline, Cochrane, and Scopus, within a restricted publication timeframe. The inclusion criteria were as follows: studies published between 1st January 2013 and 31st July 2024, English language, and primary data studies. We used the PICOS concept, with the population referring to people with hearing impairment and the intervention referring to only a visual strategy to manage DFA. Screening involved eliminating studies that did not meet the eligibility criteria, and the quality of the paper was appraised via validated instruments appropriate for study design, including RoB-2 and ROBINS-I. Data extraction was accomplished by identifying important information such as author, year, study design, key findings and conclusions. Thematic content analysis was performed via Atlas.ti software. Results: The search identified 133 studies, and a total of six studies were included after the screening process. There were three main themes regarding visual strategies aimed at managing dental anxiety: visual aids (2D and 3D books, VR eyewear, videos with or without eyewear), sign language, and customized educational demonstrations. Good patient-f communication and the application of visual strategies significantly reduce DFA. The strategies were shown to be effective; however, the heterogeneity in the included studies precluded a meaningful meta-analysis. The quality assessment results revealed that only one study had a low risk of bias. Conclusion: Visual strategy play crucial role in managing DFA in hearing-impaired individuals. Further research, particularly involving different age groups and rigorously designed long-term trials is recommended.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a video-based educational intervention for improving knowledge of dental malocclusion among students at SMAN 39, Jakarta, and to examine the associations between knowledge levels and sociodemographic factors. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design involving 159 students was employed. Data were collected via structured pre-test      and post-test      questionnaires assessing students’ knowledge of dental malocclusion. Statistical analyses included the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Mann–Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation coefficient to examine associations between variables. Results and Discussion: All 159 participants completed both the pre-test and post-test. A statistically significant improvement in knowledge was observed following the intervention (p = 0.001). While sex, age, and socioeconomic status were not significantly associated with baseline knowledge, the post-intervention results indicated that female students, older age groups, and students from higher-income households demonstrated significantly greater knowledge retention (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: Video-based interventions effectively enhanced student’s knowledge of dental malocclusion; however, the extent of improvement varied across sociodemographic groups. These findings suggest that sex, age, and socioeconomic status may influence educational outcomes. Future oral health education initiatives should consider these factors to increase the effectiveness and inclusivity of digital learning interventions.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Stunting adalah malnutrisi kronis pada anak yang masih menjadi tantangan kesehatan masyarakat. Stunting tidak hanya dapat menyebabkan gangguan pertumbuhan fisik dan kognitif, namun juga lebih rentan mengalami karies gigi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan antara stunting dan kejadian karies gigi pada anak stunting usia 0-3 tahun di kabupaten Klaten, Jawa Tengah. Bahan dan Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang dengan data primer dari program JUWITA 1000 HARTA oleh Puskesmas Juwiring. Sebanyak 264 anak yang mengalami stunting menjadi subjek dengan teknik purposive sampling. Status karies gigi diperiksa menggunakan kamera intraoral. Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil dan Pembahasan: Dari 248 anak yang memenuhi kriteria, proporsi karies gigi 75% pada anak dengan kondisi sangat pendek (severely stunted), dan 53,9% pada pendek (stunted). Hubungan antara status stunting dan kejadian karies gigi adalah signifikan (p 0,01) dengan OR= 1,39 (95% CI; 1,11–1,74). Selain itu, faktor-faktor status ekonomi keluarga, tingkat pendidikan orang tua, dan pola makan anak juga menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan terhadap kejadian karies gigi (p 0,05). Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara stunting dengan kejadian karies pada anak penderita stunting usia 0-3 tahun di Kabupaten Klaten, Jawa Tengah. Diperlukan program pencegahan stunting untuk mencegah terjadinya kejadian karies gigi pada anak secara tidak langsung.

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 2022 that approximately 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral diseases. Poor oral health not only leads to clinical problems but also results in social disadvantages and reduced quality of life. In health epidemiology, religion is considered a social determinant of health. Higher levels of religiosity are believed to contribute to better oral health through social support and psychological well-being. Religiosity functions as a psychosocial determinant of health that enhances emotional stability and preventive behaviors. Therefore, examining the relationship between religiosity and oral health status, as well as oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), is important as a basis for developing promotive and preventive interventions based on a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach. Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and SpringerLink using the keywords “belief,” “religion,” “religiosity,” “oral health,” “quality of life,” and “oral health-related quality of life”. Manual searching was performed through the reference lists of relevant articles. This study employed a scoping review method based on the framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. Results: Five publications met the inclusion criteria. Three studies demonstrated a positive relationship between religiosity and OHRQoL, indicating better oral health status and lower mean DMFT scores. Two other studies reported negative associations: individuals without religious affiliation had better OHRQoL, and the prevalence of dental diseases among clergy and monastic communities was higher than that of the local population. Conclusion: Religiosity is associated with oral health status and OHRQoL, acting both as a protective and a risk factor. These findings emphasize the importance of considering spiritual aspects in planning community oral health programs. Practical implications include the integration of faith-based oral health education, behavioral counseling, and collaboration between health professionals and religious leaders.KEYWORDS: Religiosity, oral health status, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL)Hubungan antara religiusitas dan status kesehatan oral serta oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL): Scoping reviewABSTRAKPendahuluan: Laporan World Health Organization (WHO) tahun 2022 menyebutkan sekitar 3,5 miliar penduduk dunia mengalami penyakit gigi dan mulut. Kondisi kesehatan rongga mulut yang buruk tidak hanya berdampak klinis, tetapi juga menimbulkan kerugian sosial dan menurunkan kualitas hidup. Dalam epidemiologi kesehatan, agama dipandang sebagai determinan sosial kesehatan. Tingkat religiusitas yang tinggi diduga berkontribusi pada kesehatan oral melalui dukungan sosial dan kesejahteraan psikologis. Religiusitas berperan sebagai penentu kesehatan psiko-sosial yang meningkatkan stabilitas emosional dan perilaku preventif. Kajian hubungan religiusitas pemeluk agama dengan status kesehatan oral dan oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) diperlukan sebagai dasar pengembangan intervensi promotif dan preventif berbasis pendekatan bio-psiko-sosial-spiritual. Metode: Pencarian literatur dilakukan pada PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, dan SpringerLink menggunakan kata kunci belief, religious, religions, oral health, life quality, dan oral health related quality of life. Penelusuran manual dilakukan melalui daftar referensi artikel relevan. Penelitian menggunakan metode scoping review menurut Arksey dan O’Malley. Hasil: Diperoleh lima publikasi yang memenuhi kriteria. Tiga penelitian menunjukkan hubungan positif antara religiusitas dengan OHRQoL, status kesehatan mulut lebih baik, serta rerata DMFT lebih rendah. Dua penelitian lainnya menunjukkan hubungan negatif: individu tanpa afiliasi agama memiliki OHRQoL lebih baik, dan prevalensi penyakit gigi pada komunitas pendeta dan biarawan lebih tinggi dibandingkan penduduk lokal. Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara religiusitas dan status kesehatan oral serta (OHRQoL) sebagai faktor protektif dan faktor resiko. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya mempertimbangkan aspek spiritual dalam perencanaan program kesehatan gigi masyarakat. Implikasi praktis mencakup integrasi edukasi kesehatan mulut berbasis komunitas keagamaan, konseling perilaku, serta kolaborasi antara tenaga kesehatan dan pemuka agama.KATA KUNCI:  religiusitas, status kesehatan oral, kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan oral (OHRQoL)
