Abstract

Background: Bacterial plaque is one of the sources of oral health problems that can cause cavities and periodontal disease. One way to minimize the risk of dental and oral diseases is to carry out good and proper plaque control. Plaque control can be supported by the use of disclosing agents that visualize bacterial plaque well so as to increase motivation and education in the community to evaluate their oral hygiene. Objectives: This article reviews the use of disclosing agents with natural ingredients as one of alternative choices that can be used to prevent harmful side effects from certain synthetic dyes, such as erythrosine. Literature review: One example of a natural ingredient that can be used as a natural dye is the red dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus polyrhizus) through the maceration method to produce a disclosing agent in the form of a gel preparation. Conclusion: After going through a series of preparation tests on the gel formulation, it was concluded that the red dragon fruit peel extract formulation has the potential as a disclosing agent to visualize bacterial plaque in the oral cavity well.

Abstract

Bacterial plaque is a common source of dental and oral health problems such as caries  and periodontal diseases. Tooth brushing, flossing, usage of interdental brush, and rinsing with antiseptic are solutions for removing bacterial plaque. Bacterial plaque on the surface of the teeth cannot be seen directly, so the usage of a supporting tool, namely a disclosing agent is needed to visualize the presence of bacterial plaque. A disclosing agent can be in the form of a gel, solution, or chewable tablet. Production of disclosing agents using synthetic dyes like erythrosine has many drawbacks. An alternative natural ingredient that can be used as a substitute is dye made from rosella flower petals. The petals have a natural red-colored pigment that comes from anthocyanin compounds and can be obtained through extraction using the maceration process. The extract is formulated into a gel to optimize its effectiveness. Gel has more advantages compared to other forms disclosing agents in terms of shelf life. Physical stability test of gel made with rosella flower petals extract is needed to observe its longevity during storage. Through this literature review, it was concluded that natural coloring compounds found in rosella flower petals have potential to be used as a disclosing agent in identifying bacterial plaque.

Abstract

Introduction: Oral health problems among children remain high due to limited knowledge and poor hygiene habits. The 2023 Indonesian Health Survey reported that 50.9% of the population experience oral health problems, while only 3.4% practice proper toothbrushing. Engaging educational media are therefore needed. Artificial intelligence (AI)–based animated videos provide interactive visual and audio content that is easily understood by children. This study evaluated their effectiveness in improving dental and oral health knowledge among elementary students. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 53 fourth-grade students of SDN 146/VIII Rejosari. Dental health education was delivered using AI animated video media. Knowledge was assessed using a 19-item questionnaire before and after the intervention and categorized into good, sufficient, and poor. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test (p < 0.05). Results and Discussions: Before the intervention, most students had poor knowledge (69.81%), followed by sufficient (26.42%) and good (3.77%). After education, the good category increased to 52.83%, sufficient decreased to 39.62%, and poor decreased to 7.55%. Paired t-test results showed a significant improvement (p < 0.001). Conclusion: AI animated videos effectively improve elementary students’ dental and oral health knowledge.
