Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve oral and dental health among the residents of Jorong Gurun Aur, Kenagarian Kubang Putih, Kecamatan Banuhampu, Kabupaten Agam. The main issue addressed was the lack of knowledge regarding proper toothbrushing techniques, which contributed to high cases of dental caries and other oral health problems. The program involved 13 elderly participants, 12 mothers with toddlers, and 52 TPA students. Activities included health education, demonstrations of toothbrushing techniques using the "4 Right 5 Perfect" method, and dental hygiene evaluations (Hygiene Index). Pre- and post-tests were conducted to evaluate knowledge improvement, while dental hygiene was assessed before and after the activities. The results indicated significant improvements. Among TPA students, the percentage of good dental hygiene increased from 22% to 88%, and good knowledge rose from 27% to 96%. For mothers with toddlers, good dental hygiene remained at 67%, but their good knowledge increased from 33% to 92%. The program successfully encouraged new behaviors, such as brushing teeth twice daily using proper techniques. In conclusion, this program effectively improved dental hygiene and oral health through education and practical demonstrations.

This community service program aimed to improve the dental and oral hygiene of school-age children at SDN 12 Puhun Pintu Kabun, Mandiangin Koto Selayan District, Bukittinggi City, through education using poster media. The implementation method consisted of three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The implementation stage included oral health education, demonstrations of proper tooth brushing techniques using the “4 Right 5 Perfect” principle, and hands-on practice with a disclosing solution made from red dragon fruit extract to identify uncleaned tooth areas. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test assessments to measure knowledge improvement and Hygiene Index (HI) examinations before and after the activity. The results showed a significant increase in students’ oral hygiene, with good dental cleanliness rising from 58% to 94%, and good knowledge increasing from 51% to 96%. The program also successfully established new habits of brushing teeth twice daily using the correct technique. In conclusion, this community service program effectively improved children’s oral health knowledge and behavior through interactive education and hands-on learning using poster-based media.

Abstract

Streptococcus mutans naturally occurs in the human oral cavity, is a microorganism that plays an important role in the initiation of dental caries. One of the efforts to prevent dental caries is the use of natural ingredients that contain antibacterial substances that can interfere with the growth or kill bacteria. Nutmeg is a natural ingredient that has antibacterial properties. Bioactive compounds in nutmeg seeds have antibacterial properties. This research aimed to determine the formulation and concentration of nutmeg seed extract which has antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. The type of research used is a laboratory experiment with a post test only group design. The treatment group used purified extract of nutmeg seeds with concentrations of 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 7.5%, 5.0%, 2.5%, 1.25%, the positive control group used mouthwash I, T and L. The test was carried out three repetitions at each concentration, then the inhibition zone was measured using the well diffusion method. Antibacterial activity testing was carried out using the well method, the data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, the Levene test, the one way annova test and the PST hock test. Obtained the average inhibition of nutmeg seeds against Streptococcus mutans at a concentration of 25% (18.33 mm). 20% concentration (17.16 mm), 15% concentration (16.16 mm), 10% concentration (14.66 mm), 7.5% concentration (13.33 mm), 5% concentration (6.66 mm ), the concentration of 2.5% (2.6 mm) and the smallest concentration of 1.25% had no inhibition (0 mm), while in the control group I (4 mm), T (3 mm) and L (2 mm). The higher the concentration of purified extract of nutmeg seeds, the higher the antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. further research on the concentration of nutmeg seed extract preparations was carried out in vivo tests on experimental animals in order to obtain purified extract preparations of nutmeg seeds that are safe and can be an alternative choice in maintaining oral health.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to facilitate the early detection of dental caries and to improve knowledge and skills in maintaining oral health among preschool children. The implementation method applied promotive, preventive, and early detection approaches through audiovisual-based oral health education, demonstrations of proper tooth-brushing techniques using phantom models, supervised group tooth-brushing practice, and dental examinations using the def-t index. The activity involved 242 preschool children in Banuhampu District, Agam Regency. The results showed that 52.89% of children were in the good category (def-t ≤2), while 47.11% were in the poor category (def-t >2), with a mean def-t index of 2.55, indicating a relatively high level of caries experience. The program also produced baseline data on children’s oral health status and successfully implemented educational and practical activities. In conclusion, the integration of early detection, education, and practical training effectively provides an overview of children’s oral health and serves as a foundation for sustainable promotive and preventive efforts
