Abstract

Inappropriate toothbrushing behavior remains one of the causes of high rates of dental and oral health problems in children. Animated video education is expected to improve tooth-brushing behavior because it is more engaging and easier for children to understand. This study aims to analyze the effect of the GEROGI (Gerakan Gosok Gigi) animated video on tooth-brushing behavior among children aged 6–12 years in the working area of the Cina Community Health Center (UPT), Bone Regency. This study is quantitative, with a quasi-experimental design and a one-group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 38 children was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that 35 respondents (92.1%) experienced an increase in tooth-brushing behavior scores after receiving the GEROGI animated video intervention. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed a significant difference in tooth-brushing behavior scores before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). It was concluded that dental and oral health education through the GEROGI animated video was effective in increasing toothbrushing behavior among children aged 6–12 years in the working area of the Cina Community Health Center UPT, Bone Regency.

Abstract

One of the important components of saliva that plays a role in the development of caries is the acidity level, or pH. Normal salivary pH ranges from 5.6–7.0, with an average of 6.7. If salivary pH is below normal, the oral environment becomes more acidic, supporting the growth of acidogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus, which contribute to caries formation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between salivary acidity (pH) and the number of caries in patients at Siloam Hospital Lippo Village Karawaci Tangerang. This study was an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The study population was all patients at the Dental Clinic of Siloam Hospital Lippo Village Karawaci Tangerang, with a sample of 30 individuals selected using purposive sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through observation (salivary pH and caries counts) and documentation. They were then processed and analyzed using the Kendall's tau-b test with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) using Microsoft Excel 2024 and IBM SPSS version 27. The results showed that patients' salivary pH tended to be alkaline with low caries counts, and there was a significant relationship between salivary pH and caries counts. Patients are advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and oral hygiene, medical personnel to strengthen education and regular check-ups, and researchers to integrate salivary pH testing as part of dental health screening.

Abstract

Oral health is a condition where teeth are free from plaque and food debris. Debris is a soft deposit consisting of food debris that sticks to the teeth. Pineapples have a high water and fiber content, which can clean some of the food debris that sticks to the dentin. This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest group design. The number of samples used was 47 people using the Slovin formula calculation based on the inclusion criteria. The data obtained were tabulated and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test. The results of this study showed that the average before chewing pineapple was 1.4 and after chewing pineapple was 0.7, so the difference in the reduction obtained was 0.7. Based on the analysis using the Wilcoxon test, the p value was obtained = 0.000 (> 0.05). This means that chewing pineapple has an effect on reducing debris.
