Abstract

Dental and oral health problems in pregnant women are still an important issue in Indonesia. According to RISKESDAS 2018, the prevalence of dental caries reached 45.3% and gingivitis was 14%, with a higher prevalence in women (74%). Hormonal and behavioral changes during pregnancy increase the risk of dental and oral diseases, which can impact premature birth, preeclampsia, low birth weight (LBW), and stunting. The objective of this activity is to enhance the knowledge and skills of the Peruri Posyandu cadres in detecting dental and oral diseases in pregnant women through training that utilizes a pocketbook for dental and oral examination in pregnant women. The implementation method includes socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and evaluation. The educational media used were educational posters, dental models, a pocketbook for oral cavity examination of pregnant women, and dental oral health examination cards for pregnant women. The results showed an 80% increase in cadres' knowledge and an 80% increase in their skill to detect dental cavities and other dental diseases. These findings indicate that the training is effective in equipping cadres with practical skills that can be applied in the field. The expected long-term impact includes increased awareness and improved behaviors of pregnant women regarding oral and dental health, as well as the strengthened role of Posyandu cadres in the early detection of oral diseases. The planned follow-up actions include ongoing mentoring, maintenance of educational media, and periodic evaluations to ensure the sustainability of the program.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of electronic cigarette use is increasing; however, public understanding of their ingredients and associated health risks remains inconsistent. Persistent misconceptions contribute to inaccurate perceptions of product safety, especially regarding oral health. This study aimed to analyze oral health knowledge and associated factors among office workers who use electronic cigarettes. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 office workers who used electronic cigarettes at a state-owned enterprise in Jakarta, Indonesia, between September and October 2025. Participants were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing respondents’ demographic characteristics and knowledge of electronic cigarette contents and their oral health effects. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation, and the chi-square test. Results: Overall, 58% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge of oral health, whereas 42% had poor knowledge. High levels of awareness were observed regarding nicotine content (86%) and the addictive potential of electronic cigarettes (65%), while misconceptions persisted regarding carbon monoxide, tooth discoloration, and halitosis. Knowledge level was significantly associated with gender, with female respondents demonstrating higher knowledge than male respondents (p=0.014). No significant associations were observed between knowledge level and education level, smoking status, motivation for electronic cigarette use, or duration of use (all p>0.05). Conclusion: Although most electronic cigarette users demonstrated good overall oral health knowledge, important misconceptions remained regarding carbon monoxide production, tooth discoloration, and halitosis. These findings highlight the need for targeted oral health education focusing on specific misconceptions related to the oral health effects of electronic cigarettes.
