Abstract

Gingivitis is one of the most common oral health problems encountered during pregnancy, largely influenced by hormonal changes that heighten gingival vascularization and inflammatory responses. Preliminary findings from the Berbek Public Health Center, Nganjuk, indicated a high prevalence of gingivitis among pregnant women, reflecting inadequate oral hygiene practices and limited awareness. This situation underscores the need to understand behavioral determinants, particularly motivation, that may influence oral health status during pregnancy. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the association between pregnant women’s motivation to maintain oral health and the occurrence of gingivitis in the working area of Berbek Public Health Center in 2025. A descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 30 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Motivation levels were assessed using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire, while gingival status was examined using the Loe and Silness Gingival Index. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test to determine the relationship between motivation and gingival condition. The results revealed that 56.7% of respondents had moderate motivation and 43.3% had strong motivation for maintaining oral hygiene. Gingivitis assessment showed that 60% of participants exhibited mild gingivitis, while 40% had moderate gingivitis. Spearman’s test demonstrated a strong and statistically significant correlation between motivation and gingivitis (ρ = 0.714; p = 0.001), indicating that higher motivation was associated with better gingival health. In conclusion, motivation plays a crucial role in shaping oral health behaviors during pregnancy and is significantly related to the incidence of gingivitis. Strengthening maternal motivation through targeted health education and integrated maternal–dental health programs is essential to reduce gingivitis risk and support optimal pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition that affects various aspects of health, including dental and oral health. Diabetes and periodontitis are the most prevalent human diseases. Diabetes worsens the periodontal condition, but periodontitis also hampers glycemic control in diabetic patients. The study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge of oral health maintenance and the incidence of periodontitis among elderly patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) at the Tanah Kalikedinding Health Center, Surabaya. The cross-sectional study involved 46 elderly participants diagnosed with T2DM. Data were collected using a dental and oral health maintenance knowledge questionnaire and the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN). The majority of respondents were women (73.9%) aged 60-70 years (91.3%), with most having only a junior high school education (47.8%). Knowledge levels were generally low, with 54.35% of respondents classified as having poor knowledge. Most respondents (80.4%) had severe periodontitis, as indicated by CPITN scores. The Pearson correlation test revealed no significant relationship between knowledge levels and CPITN scores (r = -0.134, p = 0.374), suggesting that knowledge about dental and oral health maintenance does not significantly influence the incidence of periodontitis in this sample. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive interventions to improve dental and oral health among elderly T2DM patients, focusing not only on increasing knowledge but also improving access to dental care and promoting healthy lifestyle practices. These efforts are essential to reducing the prevalence of severe periodontitis in this vulnerable population.

Abstract

Smoking remains a major public health concern and is widely recognized as an important behavioral risk factor for poor dental and oral health. Tobacco exposure contributes to plaque accumulation, calculus formation, gingival inflammation, and impaired oral tissue healing. However, evidence regarding the relationship between smoking habits and oral hygiene status in Indonesian primary health care settings is still limited. This study aimed to analyze the association between smoking habits and dental and oral hygiene status among patients attending the Dental Clinic of the Kesamben Community Health Center, Jombang Regency. A quantitative cross-sectional analytical design was employed in March 2025. The study involved 30 male patients aged ≥25 years who were selected using purposive sampling. Smoking habits were assessed using a structured 20-item questionnaire and categorized into low, moderate, and high levels based on cumulative scores. Dental and oral hygiene status was evaluated using the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), which classifies hygiene conditions into good, moderate, and poor categories. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical methods, including the Chi-square test, Spearman correlation analysis, and Phi effect size, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had high smoking intensity (93.4%) and poor oral hygiene status (96.6%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between smoking habits and oral hygiene status (χ² = 7.226; p = 0.007). Spearman correlation analysis indicated a moderate positive relationship between smoking intensity and worsening OHI-S scores (r = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.18–0.74), with a moderate effect size (φ = 0.49). In conclusion, higher smoking intensity is significantly associated with poorer dental and oral hygiene among adult patients at the Kesamben Community Health Center. These findings highlight the importance of integrating smoking cessation counseling with preventive oral health education in primary health care services to improve overall oral health outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between oral health knowledge and the number of functional teeth among older adults at the Tangguh Senior Citizens’ School in Mojo Village, Surabaya. The study employed a quantitative analytical design using a cross-sectional survey approach, with a population of 70 older adults aged 60 years and older and a sample of 60 respondents selected using the Slovin formula and simple random sampling. Data were collected through a dental and oral health knowledge questionnaire—which had been validated for validity and reliability—and intraoral examinations to count the number of functional teeth. The data were then analyzed using SPSS, including descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had “poor” knowledge (58.3%) and fewer than 20 functional teeth (78.3%), with a significant positive correlation (r = 0.707, p < 0.05) between better knowledge and a higher number of functional teeth. In conclusion, good oral health knowledge is closely associated with a higher number of functional teeth among older adults in the study location.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Adolescents with intellectual disabilities have limitations in maintaining oral hygiene, placing them at a greater risk of oral health problems than their peers. This condition highlights the essential role of mothers as primary caregivers in fostering positive oral health maintenance behaviors through continuous motivation. This study aimed to analyze the effect of maternal motivation on the oral hygiene of adolescents with intellectual disabilities at SLB Alpa Kumara Wardhana II Surabaya. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 39 mothers and 39 adolescents selected using purposive sampling. Maternal motivation was assessed using a structured questionnaire, while the adolescents' oral hygiene status was measured using the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S). Data were analyzed using Spearman's rho correlation test. The findings indicated that most mothers had a moderate level of motivation, and the adolescents generally demonstrated a moderate level of oral hygiene. Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between maternal motivation and the oral hygiene status of adolescents with intellectual disabilities (p = 0.02; r = 0.485), indicating that higher maternal motivation was associated with better oral hygiene. The study concludes that maternal motivation plays an important role in supporting oral health maintenance behaviors among adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, strengthening parental education and empowerment should become an integral part of promotive and preventive oral health programs for children with special needs.

Abstract

Tooth loss is a common oral health issue among the elderly that can affect chewing function, speech ability, nutritional status, and quality of life. Motivation regarding oral health maintenance is considered a potential factor in preventing tooth loss. This study aimed to analyze the influence of oral health maintenance motivation on tooth loss among the elderly at the Sekar Arum Elderly Integrated Health Post (Posyandu Lansia) in Kertajaya Village, Gubeng District, Surabaya City. A quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study sample consisted of 54 respondents, determined using Slovin's formula and selected via simple random sampling. Oral health maintenance motivation was measured using a questionnaire, while tooth loss was assessed through intraoral examinations using an observation sheet. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods, specifically the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 60–74 years (77.7%) and female (79.6%). Most respondents fell into the low category for oral health maintenance motivation (48.15%). Among respondents with a loss of ≥20 teeth, the majority were elderly individuals with low motivation (95.2%). The Chi-square test results indicated a significant influence of oral health maintenance motivation on tooth loss among the elderly (p=0.000). In conclusion, oral health maintenance motivation influences tooth loss in the elderly. Efforts to increase motivation through health education and oral health promotion are necessary to encourage oral health maintenance behaviors, thereby reducing the risk of tooth loss among the elderly.
