Abstract

Pregnancy gingivitis remains a prevalent oral health problem among pregnant women, largely driven by hormonal changes and inadequate awareness of proper oral hygiene practices. Despite its high prevalence and potential complications, including heightened risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes, educational resources tailored to improving oral health knowledge during pregnancy are still limited and often ineffective. This study addresses this gap by examining the impact of the Android-based Mom Smile application as an accessible digital learning tool for enhancing pregnant women’s knowledge of pregnancy gingivitis. This research employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 32 pregnant women attending the Gayam Health Center in Sumenep Regency. Participants completed a validated knowledge questionnaire assessing their understanding of pregnancy gingivitis including its definition, symptoms, causes, impacts, and prevention before and after engaging with the Mom Smile application. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test due to non-normal distribution. The findings demonstrated a substantial improvement in knowledge following the intervention. The mean knowledge score increased from 54.68% in the pretest to 83.28% in the posttest. Prior to the intervention, 62% of participants exhibited low knowledge levels, whereas after using the application, 88% achieved high knowledge levels. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the Mom Smile application. In conclusion, the Mom Smile application proved to be an effective digital educational tool for enhancing pregnant women’s knowledge about pregnancy gingivitis. Its motion-graphic–based content offers an engaging and practical alternative to traditional printed materials. Integrating such digital health education into antenatal care services may support better oral hygiene practices, thereby contributing to improved maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral health problems among preschool children, often linked to inadequate parental understanding of proper dental care. This study addresses the research problem of how maternal knowledge influences the occurrence of dental caries in preschool-aged children at PG/RA Muslimah NU Islamiyah Taman Sidoarjo. The aim was to determine whether maternal knowledge significantly correlates with children’s dental caries status. Using an analytical cross-sectional design, data were collected from 36 mother–child pairs selected through total sampling. Maternal knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire, while the children’s dental caries status was examined with a standardized dental health assessment sheet. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test with Fisher’s test as the corrective alternative. The results showed that 47.2% of mothers possessed sufficient knowledge, while 50% of children exhibited low levels of dental caries. A significant relationship was found between maternal knowledge and dental caries prevalence (p = 0.001), indicating that higher maternal knowledge is associated with a lower incidence of caries in preschool children. These findings confirm that mothers play a central role in promoting healthy oral hygiene behaviors and reducing caries risk during early childhood. In conclusion, maternal knowledge exerts a substantial influence on children’s oral health outcomes, highlighting the need for targeted parental education and health promotion programs. Interventions that enhance mothers’ understanding of proper dental hygiene practices may contribute significantly to reducing dental caries prevalence in preschool populations. Strengthening oral health literacy among mothers is therefore recommended as a preventive strategy to support healthier dental development in young children.

Abstract

Dental plaque accumulation is a common oral health problem among pregnant women and is associated with anincreased risk of gingivitis, periodontitis, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. In Bunder Village, Pamekasan, preliminaryobservations showed a high plaque index among pregnant women, highlighting the need for accessible and safe plaque-controlinterventions. Natural mouthwash derived from herbal plants such as betel (Piper betle) and basil (Ocimum basilicum) leaves hasbeen suggested to possess antibacterial and antiplaque properties, yet comparative evidence in pregnant populations remainslimited. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of betel leaf and basil leaf decoctions in reducing dental plaque index amongpregnant women. This quasi-experimental study involved 32 pregnant women selected using Slovin’s formula and randomlyassigned into two equal groups. Each group rinsed with either a boiled betel leaf or basil leaf solution prepared using standardizedprocedures. Plaque index was measured before and after rinsing using the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) Index. Datanormality was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, while within-group and between-group differences were analyzed using pairedand independent t-tests, respectively. Both betel and basil leaf decoctions significantly reduced plaque index (p < 0.05). The betel leaf group showed a greater mean reduction (Δ = 1.23 ± 0.75) compared to the basil leaf group (Δ = 0.85 ± 0.65), with the between-group comparison indicating a significant difference favoring betel leaf (p = 0.003). In conclusion, both herbal decoctions effectively lowered plaque index among pregnant women; however, betel leaf decoction demonstrated superior antiplaque efficacy.These findings support the potential use of betel leaf decoction as a low-cost, safe, and natural alternative mouthwash in prenataloral health programs. Further studies with longer follow-up and standardized phytochemical assessment are recommended.
