Abstract

Karies gigi menjadi masalah karena menurut hasil Survei Kesehatan Dasar Indonesia 2018 rata-rata DT/dt di Indonesia adalah 4,5, angka ini menunjukkan bahwa setiap orang rata-rata memiliki 4-5 gigi berlubang yang perlu ditambal, sedangkan  jumlah gigi berkaries yang telah ditumpat hanya mencapai 0,1%. Program yang bisa dilakukan secara efektif untuk mengurangi resiko karies pada permukaan gigi pit dan fissure adalah melalui perawatan pit dan fisura sealant. Metode Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan dalam tiga tahapan yaitu  edukasi kesehatan gigi, membimbing menyikat gig dan melakukan penumpatan fissure sealant sesuai dengan indikasi. Hasil: tingkat pengetahuan anak tentang cara menyikat gigi meningkat setelah diberi edukasi kesehatan gigi, keterampilan responden setelah dibimbing menyikat gigi adalah sudah menjadi lebih baik karena nilai debris indeks responden telah berubah dari sedang menjadi baik (35.71%) dan dari buruk menjadi sedang (64.29%), Perawatan fissure sealant telah dilakukan pada seluruh anak yang mempunyai fissure dalam (25 anak). Kesimpulan: Edukasi kesehatan gigi tentang cara menyikat gigi yang baik dan benar dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan responden tentang cara menyikat gigi, Kegiatan bimbingan sikat gigi kepada responden dapat meningkat status kebersihan gigi dan mulut terutama debris indeksnya. Tindakan perawatan terhadap fissure dalam dengan melakukan perawatan fissure sealant dapat mengurangi resiko karies oklusal pada responden.

Abstract

In Indonesia, according to the Riskesdas data, only 0.1% of 15-year-old children received fissure sealant treatment. Glass ionomer sealants can prevent caries on newly erupted permanent molars and are a good alternative because they are cheaper, painless, and easy to apply. The study aimed to evaluate the retention of glass ionomer sealants in preventing occlusal caries on permanent molars in children. The research method used an experimental design. The independent variable was the filling of deep fissures with Fuji VII glass ionomer, and the dependent variable was the occlusal status of the left and right lower first permanent molars, which included teeth that had been sealed with glass ionomer (intact sealant, partially lost, completely lost, either caries-free or carious). The population consisted of primary school children in Manefu, East Baumata Village. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling, targeting primary school children aged 7-10 years at SD Manefu who had deep fissures and were willing to participate. Data collection involved clinical trials, including sealing the left and right lower first permanent molars with Fuji VII glass ionomer and evaluating the sealant retention after six months. Data were processed and analyzed using descriptive statistical tests. The results showed that nine molars had good retention (23.68%), five molars had partially lost their sealant (13.15%), 31.57% of molars were caries-free despite losing their entire sealant, and 31.57% of molars developed caries after losing their entire sealant. Overall, 26 molars (68.42%) treated with fissure sealing were protected from caries. Initial enamel caries lesions occurred in 31.58% of sealed molars whose sealants had dislodged. In conclusion, the use of glass ionomer sealants demonstrated a retention effect and prevented occlusal caries on permanent molars in children by up to 68.42%.

Abstract

Background: Dental and oral health is still a problem in society that needs attention. This is indicated by the prevalence of the population with dental and oral problems in Indonesia according to Riskesdas 2018, which has increased sharply from 23.2% in 2007 to 57.6% in 2018. Dental and oral health problems are still a major concern among elementary school children, especially due to the lack of knowledge and proper tooth brushing practices. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of picture book media in improving knowledge and proper tooth brushing practices in grades IV and V at SDN 2 Baumata Timur. Method: the method used is a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design. The sample in this study was 40 students selected by total sampling. Results: Data were collected through a knowledge questionnaire and observation sheets for tooth brushing practices before and after intervention in the form of providing picture books. The results of the study showed an increase in the knowledge score and practice of brushing students' teeth after using picture book media. The average knowledge score increased from 50 to 77.5, and the practice of brushing teeth showed a more appropriate behavioral change according to the recommended brushing standards. The conclusion of this study is that picture book media is effective as an educational tool to improve students' understanding and skills in maintaining dental and oral health.

Abstract

The most susceptible tooth surface to caries in children is the occlusal surface of the first and second permanent molars. A program that can be carried out effectively to reduce the risk of caries on the pit and fissure tooth surface is through pit and fissure sealant treatment. The method of community service activities is: education about dental health accompanied by a demonstration of how to brush teeth and fissure sealant filling according to the indications for children who are willing to undergo dental treatment. Results: after dental health education was carried out, there was a significant increase in the good knowledge category, which increased to 55.9%. The percentage of respondents with sufficient knowledge decreased to 44.1% and there were no more respondents included in the poor knowledge category (0%). Fissure sealant filling has been successfully carried out with a target of 30 children, where 38 teeth with deep fissures have been treated. Conclusion: dental health education can increase respondent knowledge. Fissure sealing is one form of effective preventive intervention on permanent first molars because they are the earliest teeth to erupt and are most susceptible to caries, so they are the main target in prevention programs. The combination of educational interventions and preventive clinical actions such as fissure sealing has proven effective in promoting and preventing dental and oral health.
