Abstract

Introduction. Knowledge is a primary factor in behavior establishment. Cognition or knowledge may be obtained naturally or planned through education. Knowledge is influenced by several factors including education level, socio-economic status, environment, and facilities availability of healthcare facilities. A person’s cognition level indicates their capability to obtain and understand health information. It is expected that a higher education level leads to more extensive cognition. A lower education level, however, does not necessarily represent a lower cognition level. Cognition escalation is not entirely gained through formal education, but it may be obtained through informal education as well. The health status of the oral cavity is a major part of general physical health. The health of the oral cavity can be determined through oral hygiene status, as various diseases are initiated by poor dental and oral health. Materials and Methods. The objective of this study was to determine the difference in dental and oral health cognition between undergraduate and professional degree students at the Dental Medicine Faculty of Mahasaraswati University, Denpasar. The study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was performed simultaneously at the same time.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of dental caries in children remains high in Indonesia. Primary teeth are particularly vulnerable to caries, yet parental awareness of children's oral health is often insufficient. As a result, children with caries often do not receive proper treatment. It is unfortunate when caries occur  at an early age. This study aims  to describe the occurrence of dental caries and the need for dental treatment in early childhood. Material and Methods: This study utilized a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional approach, which involved  52 children, aged 3 to 5 years. Dental caries were assessed using the def-t index, while treatment needs were evaluated with the Required Treatment Index (RTI). The data collected were analyzed descriptively and further examined using the Mann-Whitney and Spearman's rank correlation test. Results and Discussions: The prevalence of dental caries in children was 57.69%, with an average def-t score of 2.62. Caries were most commonly found in the upper jaw, particularly affecting the primary first incisors, followed by the primary molars. The treatment needs index (RTI) was 99.26%, indicating that most carious teeth were left untreated, requiring dental treatment. There was no significant caries difference between boys and girls (p > 0.05). However, a significant correlation was found between age and caries frequency (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The average caries rate in primary teeth falls within the low category. However, nearly all affected teeth require treatment. Among children aged 3 to 5 years, caries prevalence tends to increase with age, and no difference between boys and girls.

Abstract

Introduction: The increasing life expectancy in Indonesia, including  Denpasar City, has led to a growing elderly population. Older adults are vulnerable to various health problems, including tooth loss. This condition can impair chewing function, affect facial aesthetics, and ultimately reduce the quality of life. Dentures are a commonly used solution; however, their use among the elderly remains low. Therefore, it is important to explore the factors influencing the interest in using dentures. Material and Methods: This study was a qualitative research including a descriptive exploratory approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 older adults from five community units (banjar) in Denpasar City, selected purposively. Data were analyzed thematically using the Hanlon method, which considers the magnitude of the problem,  seriousness of the impact,  effectiveness of the solution, and feasibility of implementation, to assess and prioritize the factors contributing to the low interest in denture use. Results and Discussions: Six main themes were identified as influencing the low interest in denture use: passive acceptance of tooth loss as a natural part of aging, limited access due to lack of transportation or assistance, (3) low knowledge about the benefits of dentures, discomfort during use, perception of high costs, and ignorance of the Indonesian health insurance coverage. Conclusion: The low interest in denture use among older adults is influenced by psychosocial, structural, and educational factors. Educational interventions, provision of mobile health services, and culturally sensitive, community-based approaches are needed to improve denture utilization among older adults.

Abstract

Introduction: The Kolok (deaf–mute) community in Bengkala Village has limited access to health information due to the use of a local sign language restricted to the community. Consequently, poor knowledge and oral hygiene, as well as many complaints of toothache. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oral health education on caries-preventive behaviors among the Kolok community. Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 34 Kolok individuals aged 20–60 years, selected randomly. The intervention comprised face-to-face oral health education assisted by a local interpreter and the use of a toothbrushing calendar. Changes in oral health knowledge and preventive behaviors were assessed over two months. Knowledge was measured using questionnaires, while behaviors were assessed using questionnaires and the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S). Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, independent sample t-tests, and Mann–Whitney U tests. Results and Discussion: The results indicated significant differences in knowledge and caries preventive behaviors between the intervention and control groups after the intervention (p < 0.05). However, significant improvements were observed in the control group, whereas no significant changes were found in the intervention group. In contrast, oral hygiene status significantly improved in the intervention group. Conclusion: Face-to-face oral health education assisted by a local interpreter was not effective in improving oral health knowledge and caries-preventive behaviors among the Kolok community. Nevertheless, the toothbrushing calendar demonstrated effectiveness in improving oral hygiene to prevent caries.
