Abstract

Gingivitis is one of the most common oral health problems encountered during pregnancy, largely influenced by hormonal changes that heighten gingival vascularization and inflammatory responses. Preliminary findings from the Berbek Public Health Center, Nganjuk, indicated a high prevalence of gingivitis among pregnant women, reflecting inadequate oral hygiene practices and limited awareness. This situation underscores the need to understand behavioral determinants, particularly motivation, that may influence oral health status during pregnancy. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the association between pregnant women’s motivation to maintain oral health and the occurrence of gingivitis in the working area of Berbek Public Health Center in 2025. A descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 30 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Motivation levels were assessed using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire, while gingival status was examined using the Loe and Silness Gingival Index. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test to determine the relationship between motivation and gingival condition. The results revealed that 56.7% of respondents had moderate motivation and 43.3% had strong motivation for maintaining oral hygiene. Gingivitis assessment showed that 60% of participants exhibited mild gingivitis, while 40% had moderate gingivitis. Spearman’s test demonstrated a strong and statistically significant correlation between motivation and gingivitis (ρ = 0.714; p = 0.001), indicating that higher motivation was associated with better gingival health. In conclusion, motivation plays a crucial role in shaping oral health behaviors during pregnancy and is significantly related to the incidence of gingivitis. Strengthening maternal motivation through targeted health education and integrated maternal–dental health programs is essential to reduce gingivitis risk and support optimal pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral health problems among preschool children, largely driven by inadequate knowledge and poor oral hygiene habits. Preliminary assessments at TK B Dharma Wanita Talang II Tulungagung revealed that 42% of students possessed insufficient knowledge regarding dental caries, highlighting the need for engaging and developmentally appropriate educational interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Dental Health Monopoly (MOKEGI) game in improving preschool children’s knowledge of dental caries. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group was employed, involving 46 preschool children who were divided equally into intervention and control groups. Knowledge levels were measured using a validated and reliable questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test. The findings demonstrated substantial improvement in knowledge within the intervention group after exposure to the MOKEGI game, with all children (100%) achieving a “good” knowledge category post-intervention. In contrast, the control group showed only moderate improvement, with 56.5% reaching the “sufficient” category and none attaining the “good” category. Statistical results confirmed significant differences within the intervention group (p < 0.001) and between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.001). These outcomes indicate that MOKEGI is highly effective as an interactive, game-based educational tool for improving preschool children’s understanding of dental caries. In conclusion, the MOKEGI game provides an engaging and effective medium for enhancing oral health knowledge among young children and holds potential for integration into early childhood health education programs. Future research should assess long-term knowledge retention, behavioral changes, and applicability across diverse school settings.

Abstract

Oral and dental hygiene remains a significant public health concern among adolescents, largely due to inadequate knowledge and limited exposure to effective health education. Preliminary findings at SMAN 1 Porong indicated that 50% of students exhibited poor plaque indices, reflecting insufficient awareness of proper oral hygiene practices. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of TikTok-based educational media in improving students’ knowledge of oral and dental hygiene. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. A total of 52 tenth-grade students were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via Google Forms before and after the intervention. The educational intervention consisted of delivering oral health content through TikTok media. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to assess differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in students’ knowledge following the intervention. Prior to education, 96% of respondents were categorized as having low knowledge, whereas after the intervention, 88% achieved a good knowledge level. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p = 0.000; p < 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of TikTok as an educational medium. In conclusion, TikTok-based health education significantly enhances adolescents’ knowledge of oral and dental hygiene. The findings suggest that integrating social media platforms into health promotion strategies can serve as an innovative and engaging approach to improve health literacy among students. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of such interventions and to compare the effectiveness of different digital media platforms.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between oral health knowledge and the number of functional teeth among older adults at the Tangguh Senior Citizens’ School in Mojo Village, Surabaya. The study employed a quantitative analytical design using a cross-sectional survey approach, with a population of 70 older adults aged 60 years and older and a sample of 60 respondents selected using the Slovin formula and simple random sampling. Data were collected through a dental and oral health knowledge questionnaire—which had been validated for validity and reliability—and intraoral examinations to count the number of functional teeth. The data were then analyzed using SPSS, including descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had “poor” knowledge (58.3%) and fewer than 20 functional teeth (78.3%), with a significant positive correlation (r = 0.707, p < 0.05) between better knowledge and a higher number of functional teeth. In conclusion, good oral health knowledge is closely associated with a higher number of functional teeth among older adults in the study location.
