Abstract

This community service activity aims to conduct early detection of oral health problems through simple preliminary examinations using clinical instruments, while improving students’ knowledge through oral health education as an effort to prevent dental and oral diseases. The program involved 110 students from the Indonesian Schools in Jeddah and Mecca. The activity was implemented using a health empowerment approach, with dental and oral examinations conducted using the Oral Health Surveys: Basic Methods issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). The collected data were analyzed based on frequencies and percentages. The screening results showed a high prevalence of dental caries, with 51.8% of students having a DMF-T score > 0. The 10–12-year age group accounted for the highest proportion of caries cases at 73.6%. The most commonly required treatment recommendation was dental fillings, representing 38.2% of cases. The high prevalence of caries among diaspora students highlights the importance of sustainable early detection programs and oral health education. This intervention is expected to foster good oral hygiene habits from an early age in order to prevent more severe dental diseases in the future.

Abstract

This community service program aims to improve youth health cadres' knowledge and practical skills in oral health promotion through gamification-based education while strengthening their capacity as health education agents within the school environment. The program employed a training-based educational intervention using a one-group pre-experimental pre-test–post-test design involving 50 members of the Youth Red Cross (Palang Merah Remaja [PMR]) at a senior high school. The activities integrated interactive lectures, the Smile Guard Quiz gamified educational video, and hands-on simulation sessions using dental phantom models. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants' knowledge, with the mean score increasing from 51.7 to 80.7, representing a 56.1% increase (p < 0.001). Furthermore, 80% of participants achieved good to excellent practical skill levels, 85% demonstrated active participation throughout the program, and the mean satisfaction score reached 3.5 out of 4. These findings suggest that gamification-based oral health education is associated with improved knowledge and the development of strong practical skills among youth health cadres. This interactive educational approach has the potential to support school- and community-based oral health promotion programs.
