Abstract

Dental caries is a pervasive non-communicable disease, affecting approximately 80% of children in Indonesia. Children in the transitional dentition phase (aged 7–8 years) frequently lack awareness regarding oral health. Traditional educational models often fail to instill long-term behavioral changes. This study aims to evaluate the short-term impact of an interactive multimodal educational intervention grounded in the Health Belief Model on the early caries detection knowledge of 7-8-year-old schoolchildren in an urban middle-income setting. A quantitative pre-experimental, one-group pre-test and post-test design was utilized. A convenience sample of 57 grade 2 students from SD IT Cendikia Andalas participated. The intervention deployed tactile dental models, posters, and animated videos. The curriculum detailed anatomical function, caries etiology, early visual detection, and preventive strategies. Knowledge was measured using a validated 5-item questionnaire focusing on pathophysiology and visual cueing. Descriptive statistics included Medians and Interquartile Ranges (IQR). Hypothesis testing utilized the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The cohort demonstrated a statistically significant short-term increase in knowledge. The pre-test Median score was 4.0 (IQR: 3.0–4.0), which increased post-intervention to a Median of 5.0 (IQR: 4.0–5.0) (p < 0.001). Both female (p < 0.001) and male (p < 0.001) subgroups showed significant improvements. Identification of white spot lesions improved from 35.1% to 87.7%. In conclusion, multimodal education is associated with a significant short-term increase in early caries detection knowledge among young schoolchildren. Integrating such interactive modules into longitudinal curricula alongside parental involvement is recommended for sustained public health impact.

Abstract

Background: Accurate dental age (DA) estimation is critical in pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and forensic identification. Radiomorphological and radiometric techniques are widely utilized, yet their accuracy varies across diverse ethnic populations. This study aims to evaluate and compare the accuracy of the Willems (radiomorphological) and Cameriere (radiometric) methods against chronological age (CA) in a pediatric population in Padang, Indonesia. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using 168 digital panoramic radiographs of children (96 males, 72 females) aged 6 to 14 years. Dental maturation was assessed digitally utilizing CorelDraw X7. The Willems method evaluated the developmental stages of seven left mandibular teeth, while the Cameriere method measured open apices. Statistical analysis included paired t-tests, Pearson correlation coefficients, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) to rigorously assess accuracy. Results: The mean CA of the cohort was 9.91 ± 0.28 years. The Cameriere method consistently underestimated DA across all age cohorts, yielding a mean DA of 8.63 ± 0.93 years (p < 0.05). Conversely, the Willems method demonstrated a mean DA of 10.73 ± 1.06 years, showing higher overall concordance with CA without statistically significant broad-scale deviations in the overarching comparative model (p < 0.05), despite minor stage-specific variances. Both methods exhibited a near-perfect positive correlation with CA (r > 0.98). Conclusion: The Willems radiomorphological method significantly outperforms the radiometric Cameriere approach in this specific Southeast Asian pediatric demographic. The Cameriere method requires population-specific formulaic adaptation due to consistent physiological underestimation.
