Abstract

Self-medication is an act of self-treatment performed by the community to overcome toothache. Many people who suffer from toothache choose to self-medicate with pain killers or herbal medicines. The phenomenon of self-medication arose because people felt that self-medication was an easier and more practical option than going to the dentist. The aim of the study was to determine the factors that influence the self-medication behaviour of patients with toothache in the community. The research method used was descriptive observational with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was the community of Batudaa district, and the sample was taken through accidental sampling method using questioner by google form. The results showed that majority of the respondents (91.66%) had practiced self-medication, 33.97% of them used chemical drugs while 41.02% combined chemical and herbal drugs. Mefenamic acid was the most commonly purchased analgesic from the pharmacy (33.97%), while saline solution was the most commonly used herbal medicine (42.94%). The main reason for self-medication by respondents was convenience and practicality (33.33%), followed by experience of recovery with the same medicine (30.76%), and several other reasons were given by respondents. This study found that personal knowledge and previous experience by themselves or peers significantly influenced the choice of medication, including easier, quicker and can be done by themselves, save cost, time and can return to activities immediately. The conclusion of this study emphasises that self-medication behaviour is influenced by convenience and practicality factors, with recommendations for the community to increase knowledge about the use of analgesics and to consult medical personnel before initiating any medication regimen and symptoms do not improve.

Abstract

Background: Oral microbiome bacteria can attach to a variety of surfaces including oral diagnostic devices. Oral diagnostic tools that are not properly cleaned and sterilized can be used as a place for bacteria to multiply and cause cross-infection. Objective: This research aims to test the success of sterilization equipment using Ultraviolet light to sterilize dental instruments when used for dental examination activities in the field. Methods:  Randomized Experimental laboratory Pretest Posttest with Control Group Design. The subject of the study was the mouth glasses used after dental examination at UKGS. The intervention of the mouth glass was sterilized using Ultraviolet-c at three different times, namely 20 minutes, 25 minutes, and 30 minutes. Results: The results of Ultraviolet-c with One Way Anova test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05) indicating a significant difference in the number of oral microbiome bacteria between sterilization time and the number of oral microbiome bacterial colonies. Pearson correlation test p-value (p<0.05) it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between sterilization time and the number of oral microbiome colonies with a correlation coefficient of -0.850 which means that the longer the sterilization time, the number of oral microbiome bacteria decreases. Conclusion: Ultraviolet-c for 30 minutes is effective for sterilization of oral microbiome bacteria.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries in Central Java, Indonesia is still important problem, around 43.45% even prevalence of caries in early childhood is still high around 82%. As an effort to control and prevent increasing that case, a risk analysis is needed to determine the risk factors supporting caries. Geographical information system (GIS) as a delivery of information on the spread of disease to support planning efforts. Aim of this study is to determine mapping of distribution dental caries incidence based on GIS concerned to analysis of caries risk factors at Elementary School in Semarang. Methods: Using cross sectional analytic survey with spatial vector map data of 31 public elementary schools at Banyumanik district, Central Java and attribute data on distribution of dental caries. Mapping distribution of caries incidence based on secondary data from City Health Office and Community Health Centre using (Quantum GIS QGIS) and Web GIS software. Results: Elementary schools with caries risk factor environment were good (n=16, 52%) and bad (n=15, 48%), otherwise those with health services were good (n=22, 71%) and bad (n=9, 29%). There was a relationship between caries risk factors and dental caries incidence (p value=0.004) and OR 19.83 (environment) and p value=0.027 and OR 7.917 (health services). Conclusion: Mapping distribution of caries incidence based on GIS was in a very high category influenced by bad environmental factors and poor health services.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems are still a challenge in Indonesia, especially in early childhood. Based on the 2018 Riskesdas, in the city of Semarang, 37.20% of children experienced cavities, while the prevalence of caries in children aged 3-4 years reached 81.5%. The DMF-T value in that age group was 4.9 and increased to 6.7 at the age of 5, which is very high. This condition confirms the importance of the role of parents, especially mothers, in early prevention. This condition emphasizes the importance of the involvement of parents, especially mothers, in early prevention. Posyandu has indeed provided education, but the use of the Card for Healthy Teeth (KMGS) is still limited and has not fully involved the active role of parents.  This study aims to analyze the influence of KMGS as an educational medium for mothers under five in improving knowledge and skills to maintain children's dental health. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest design on 15 mothers under five at the Posyandu of Jabungan Village with data analysis using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant increase in the knowledge (p=0.014) and skills (p=0.007) of mothers after being given the intervention. Thus, the use of KMGS is proven to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers in maintaining children's dental health
