Abstract

Abstract: Around 3.5 billion people worldwide face dental health problems, primarily due to a lack of knowledge about the importance of dental care. Therefore, dental health education, especially for children, is crucial. This study was conducted at GMIM Tateli Elementary School, Pineleng District, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province. The aim of this research was to determine the difference in the effectiveness of dental health education using Snakes and Ladders and Busybook media on children's dental health knowledge. This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest and posttest design involving 32 children aged 6-8 years. The Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests were used for analysis. The Wilcoxon test results for Snakes and Ladders and Busybook media showed a significance value of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating statistical significance. The Mann-Whitney test showed a significance value of p = 0.048 (p < 0.05), also indicating statistical significance. The conclusion of this study is that dental health education using Snakes and Ladders and Busybook media can improve elementary school children's dental health knowledge, with Snakes and Ladders being more effective than Busybook. Keywords: dental health education; snakes and ladders; busybook

Use of chemicals in the process bleaching has a negative effect on teeth. An alternative natural ingredient that has the potential to be utilized is banana peel extract (Musa paradisiaca L.). This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of banana peel extract (Musa paradisiaca L.) in improving the color of discolored teeth. This was a laboratory and experimental study with a pretest-posttest group design. Samples consisted of 30 permanent premolar teeth, divided into three treatment groups, namely the group soaking in banana peel extract for one hour, three hours and five hours. Color measurements were carried out using shade guide (VITAPAN classical). The results of t-paired test showed that were significant changes in tooth color in all groups with p-values ˂0.05 (p=0.002, p=0.000, and p=0.000, consecutively). The largest color change occurred in the group 3 with five hours of soaking. In conclusion, banana peel extract is effective in improving tooth discoloration.

Jenis penelitian ialah eksperimental laboratoris dengan pretest-posttest group design. Sampel berjumlah 30 gigi permanen premolar, yang dibagi ke dalam tiga kelompok perlakuan yaitu kelompok perendaman dalam ekstrak kulit pisang sepatu selama 1 jam, 3 jam, dan 5 jam. Pengukuran warna dilakukan secara visual menggunakan shade guide (VITAPAN classical). Hasil uji t-paired menunjukkan terjadi perubahan warna gigi yang bermakna pada setiap kelompok perendaman dengan nilai p˂0,05, yaitu kelompok 1 dengan nilai p= 0,002; kelompok 2 dengan nilai p=0,000; dan kelompok 3 dengan nilai p=0,000. Perubahan warna terbesar terjadi pada kelompok perendaman selama 5 jam. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah ekstrak kulit pisang sepatu efektif mencerahkan warna gigi yang terdiskolorasi.

Abstract: The low rate of community visits to dental healthcare facilities is a significant public health concern, particularly in areas with high prevalence of dental problems. The gap between the need for treatment and the low utilization of services highlights the existence of problems that must be identified and addressed to ensure optimal access to dental healthcare for the community. This study aimed to identify the factors that hinder community visits to public health centers in accessing dental and oral healthcare services, particularly in areas with low visitation rates such as Desa Maen. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach, involving 88 respondents selected using the stratified proportional random sampling method. Data were collected using a checklist and analyzed descriptively. The factors hindering community visits to dental and oral healthcare facilities in Desa Maen included healthcare service factors (62.5%), economic factors (54.5%), knowledge-related factors (52.3%), geographical factors (47.7%), transportation factors (28.4%), and the lowest factor being other reasons (17.05%). In conclusion, healthcare service, economic, knowledge, geographical, transportation, and time factors are the main hindrances to community visits to dental and oral healthcare facilities at Desa Maen. Among these, the quality and availability of healthcare services represent the most significant hindrance.
