Abstract

Caries at an early age is a global problem that affects almost half of preschool children, the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) globally varies widely. One of the causes of caries in children less than 5 years old is the delay in the first visit to the dentist. The purpose of this study is to identify patterns of service utilization and obstacles that cause low visits to dentists so that programs can be planned that are able to increase the number of dental visits. A literature review was conducted using PubMed, ProQuest, SpringerLink, and ScienceDirect databases with keywords such as Dental care, Dental attendance, dental utilization, and Oral health promotion. The data were then thematically analyzed to uncover trends, common challenges, and effective interventions across the literature. The results of this systematic review show a pattern in visiting the dentist, including visiting for routine dental checkups, preventive treatments, acute pain conditions that have been experienced and trauma. The patterns of use of dental and oral health services in children are influenced by the level of parental education, the type of dental health care that is covered by limited health insurance, low socio-economic factors, socio-demographic factors, and lack of adequate insurance. This study aims to offer valuable insights into the patterns of dental care utilization and the obstacles preventing higher visitation rates to dental services. The findings are synthesized to highlight consistencies and gaps, ultimately providing insights to inform the development of programs aimed at improving dental visit rates.

Abstract

Introduction:  Oral health is essential for children's mental and physical well-being. Caries is one of the most common oral diseases worldwide, especially in children. One of the contributing factors to this disease is parental engagement. Parents play a crucial role in children’s oral health, especially their Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP). Teledentistry is one of the innovative ways to improve parental KAP due to technological advancements in leveraging the number of smartphones and the internet. Teledentistry could help parents/caregivers obtain education, consultation, diagnosis, and treatment planning about oral health via remote connection without going to dental offices. This engagement of parents/caregivers through teledentistry could build good oral health in children. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of smartphone applications for teledentistry in parental KAP related to children's oral health. Methods: This review followed PRISMA guidelines. We searched the articles in five databases (PubMed, EBSCOhost via Medline, Embase, ProQuest, and Scopus) using specific keywords and a PICO framework from January 2018 to December 2023. Two reviewers independently selected the articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected articles were extracted and assessed for risk of bias using MMAT tool. Results: Of the 1529 articles initially identified, 14 met the inclusion criteria. All smartphone application reviewed were designed for parents/caregivers and integrated with teledentistry; however, only two applications incorporated with artificial intelligence. All application showed good assessment through application tests using SUS (3 articles), JN’s principles (1 article), Net Promotor Score (1 article), MARS (1 article), TAM (1 articles), and sensitivity and specificity tests (2 articles). Parental/caregiver engagement was assessed through their Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP). This has impacted the children’s oral health by improving both the plaque and gingival index. Conclusion: Smartphone applications for teledentistry effectively increase the engagement and KAP of the parents/caregivers, significantly improving the oral health status of the children.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental caries is one of the most common health problems among school-aged children and can have long-term impacts on their quality of life. Most oral health promotion interventions to date remain conventional and are often unappealing to children. On the other hand, advancements in digital technology offer significant opportunities for developing more interactive and engaging educational approaches. Review: This literature review aims to analyze the relevance and effectiveness of integrating the Health Belief Model (HBM) with gamification in the development of digital interventions for school-aged children in the field of oral health. The literature findings indicate that HBM-based interventions are effective in enhancing children’s perceptions of susceptibility, benefits, and self-efficacy in maintaining oral health. Gamification has been shown to improve engagement and motivation through game elements such as points, challenges, and rewards. Several studies conclude that, although each approach has its own strengths, the strategic integration of HBM and gamification can address their respective limitations—particularly in achieving long-term behavior change. Conclusion: However, most digital interventions have not yet explicitly incorporated all components of the HBM, nor have they adequately addressed local contexts such as culture, technological access, and the role of teachers and parents. Therefore, there is a need for the design of digital intervention applications based on HBM and gamification through a co-design approach. This concept holds potential as a direction for further research in developing sustainable and evidence-based oral health promotion solutions in Indonesia.
