Abstract

The government through the Indonesian Ministry of Health has designed the program of caries-free Indonesia in 2030. To support the program, this community service activity was conducted through the counseling and examination of dental caries among the students of SMP Muhammadiyah 6 Yogyakarta. This program aimed to depict the overview of the students' oral health and encourage them to improve and maintain their oral health. Pre-event oral screening was conducted for participant selection. The counseling was done through presentation, with pre- and post-test. Oral hygiene index simplified (OHI-S) and decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMF-T) assessments were performed following the counseling session. Dental and oral health counseling are considered to be able to increase the understanding of students about the importance of maintaining oral and dental health by 73.3%. The OHI-S examination showed that 80% students had improved dental and oral conditions. Students participating in counseling and examination were assessed to have a prevalence of “moderate” caries, based on DMF-T examination. This community service is expected to increase understanding and motivation to maintain dental and oral health from an early age.

Abstract

Oral health is an integral part of overall well-being that demands attention from every individual. Poor oral hygiene can lead to various oral diseases, including dental caries. This community service program aimed to enhance students' understanding of oral health, encourage regular dental checkups, and promote preventive measures against oral diseases through the utilization of various digital tools, including an early detection screening application. Health education sessions were conducted, incorporating pre- and post-tests to evaluate learning outcomes. Additionally, clinical examinations were carried out to assess students' oral health status. The results were encouraging, counseling and education sessions significantly increased knowledge and awareness in over half the participants (55%). However, clinical examinations revealed that a substantial portion (36 students) had unhealthy oral hygiene, highlighting the need for continuous education and preventive strategies.
