Abstract

Oral health issues are of high concern in Indonesia, where the majority of the population faces challenges in this aspect. There is a significant prevalence of dental caries in young children, signaling the complexity of this health issue at the population level. This issue is linked to proper brushing behavior, which is practiced by only a small percentage of the Indonesian population. As a result, children should be educated about oral health, particularly proper brushing techniques, from an early age. The Fones technique, which combines horizontal and circular movements, is one effective technique. This technique is effective for cleaning teeth and maintaining gum health. This educational activity aims to provide the students at State Elementary School (SDN) 23 Marapalam Padang with advice on how to use the Fones teeth brushing technique. Educational activity was carried out on January 16, 2023 with a total of 87 students. The stages of implementing this activity are preparation by conducting a preliminary study to the school, the implementation of counseling, namely oral health education with PowerPoint presentation media, posters, dental phantoms and toothbrushes followed by correct tooth brushing practices accompanied by the lecturers and students of the Faculty of Dentistry, Andalas University. There was a significant increase in students' understanding of healthy teeth, the benefits of brushing teeth, brushing time, and increasing children's skills in practicing toothbrushing with good and correct Fones techniques after education was provided. In order to maintain and improve oral health, it is suggested that this activity be repeated on a regular basis with different topics to increase students' knowledge of oral health science.

Abstract

The consumption of chocolate, especially varieties high in sugar, can disrupt the delicate pH balance in the oral cavity, increasing the risk of dental caries. Pineapple, with its rich enzymatic and organic acid profile, presents a potential natural solution to counteract this acidic challenge. This study investigates the efficacy of pineapple consumption in mitigating the pH-lowering effects of chocolate and its impact on saliva volume, a crucial factor in maintaining oral health. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group approach was employed. Participants included children aged 6-9 years (n=40), divided into two groups: a control group (chocolate consumption only) and an intervention group (chocolate consumption followed by pineapple consumption). Saliva volume and pH were measured before and after treatment, and the data were analyzed using paired t-tests. Pineapple consumption significantly increased saliva volume in the intervention group (from 2.01±1.29 mL to 5.3±0.88 mL, p<0.05), exceeding the volume observed in the control group. Furthermore, the decrease in saliva pH in the intervention group (from 7.45±0.13 to 6.25±0.37) was more controlled compared to the control group (from 7.30±0.09 to 5.28±0.25). In conclusion, the consumption of pineapple after chocolate effectively stimulates saliva production and helps maintain a balanced oral pH, mitigating the acidic effects of chocolate and potentially reducing the risk of dental caries. These findings suggest the potential of pineapple as a natural, dietary approach to support oral health.

Abstract

Teledentistry is an examination and consultation of patients to the dentist without going through face-to-face visits, but with the help of an online application. The purpose of the activity is to help and facilitate Co-ass students of the Faculty of Dentistry, Andalas University, to fulfill the requirements for oral diagnosis via online (teledentistry) during the covid 19 pandemic. The activity is carried out in the form of examination/screening of patients carried out by Co-ass students whom Hospital Precept accompanies at the Faculty of Dentistry, Andalas University (Lecturer). Activities to be carried out consist of counseling, coordinator, mentoring, and monitoring of implementation and evaluation. The results of this activity can meet the patient's need for dental and oral examinations and expand access to dental care. Dental and oral health is essential for every individual, especially for carrying out functions such as eating, speaking, aesthetics, and feeling comfortable throughout the day. The Covid-19 pandemic limits the community's social conditions, including their need to get dental and oral services from dentists. In addition, dentistry is one of the jobs most at risk of contracting Covid-19 from patients. Through teledentistry activities, a dentist takes anamnesis to patients, clinical examinations are carried out through consultation through pictures and videos, diagnosis as initial information in planning further treatment, and supportive care such as patient education.

Abstract

Dental and oral health is a part of body health that cannot be separated from one another because it will affect the overall health of the body. Teeth are one part of the body that functions to chew, speak and maintain the shape of the face, so it is important to maintain healthy teeth as early as possible so they can last a long time in the oral cavity. Several epidemiological studies have shown that oral hygiene and gingival status of various degrees of severity are commonly found in children and adolescents. Teenagers often experience health problems, one of which is dental and oral hygiene problems. School students are the right group for health promotion efforts. This educational activity aims to increase knowledge about dental and oral health and to change individual and/or community behavior in the health sector. The method implemented in this educational activity is to use the online method which is carried out with 57 students at the UNP Padang Laboratory Development High School. The results showed an increase in the mean score from the pretest results of 6.13 and the posttest average score of 8.32, so it can be concluded that educational activities through online media can increase the knowledge of SMA Development Laboratory UNP Padang students in maintaining oral health from an early age. Furthermore, counseling activities using this method can be an option for health workers, especially dentists so that they can reach more remote areas.

Abstract

Dental caries is a major health issue commonly affecting children in Indonesia, including those in Lembah Melintang District, West Pasaman. To support the Indonesia Free of Caries 2030 program, preventive efforts are needed through the training and empowerment of school-level dental health agents, known as "young dentists." This preventive approach aims to establish collective behavior in maintaining dental health and to create a sustainable culture of dental health awareness within schools and the community. The purpose of this training initiative is to enhance teachers’ knowledge and skills in teaching the importance of dental and oral health to students. Furthermore, through the empowerment of young dentists, selected students are trained as health agents to contribute to maintaining dental health at school. The methods used in this program include lectures, interactive discussions, and hands-on practice on oral health maintenance. Results showed an increase in teachers’ understanding of dental and oral health, as well as active student involvement as young dentists fulfilling their roles as health agents. Additionally, an improvement in understanding was observed, reflected in increased scores from pretest to posttest. The conclusion of this activity is that the training of teachers and young dentists can strengthen preventive health measures at schools and support the national goal of Indonesia Free of Caries 2030. This training and empowerment model has proven effective in raising awareness and encouraging community participation in early dental caries prevention.
