Abstract

Oral hygiene in fixed orthodontic patients is a significant challenge because the presence of brackets and archwires easily traps food debris, making it difficult to maintain dental health. A preliminary survey at Deneira Dental Clinic, South Jakarta, found that some patients using fixed orthodontics still have poor dental hygiene, characterized by debris and food residue adhering to the brackets. Interviews also revealed that most patients do not understand proper toothbrushing techniques for maintaining oral health. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between toothbrushing techniques and the oral hygiene status of fixed orthodontic patients at the clinic. Using a cross-sectional design involving 33 respondents through accidental sampling, data were collected using questionnaires and clinical examinations using the OHI-S index, then analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents using the combination toothbrushing technique had moderate oral hygiene, while in the roll technique group, the number of patients with moderate hygiene was also higher. These findings confirm that the toothbrushing technique used does not fully achieve optimal oral hygiene, although most patients still fall within the moderate category. Therefore, interventions in the form of comprehensive education from clinics regarding proper oral care methods, including the use of additional cleaning aids such as dental floss or mouthwash, are needed. Furthermore, patients are expected to be more consistent in maintaining daily oral hygiene. To strengthen these findings, further research is recommended exploring other factors, such as brushing frequency, toothbrush type, and diet, that may influence oral hygiene in orthodontic patients.

Abstract

Tartar is a common oral health problem among adolescents. Tartar forms from hardened plaque due to a lack of proper and regular brushing habits. If not treated early, this condition can lead to serious disorders such as gingivitis (gum inflammation) and periodontitis (damage to the supporting tissue of the teeth), which impact adolescents' quality of life and self-confidence. Therefore, education about the dangers of tartar and the importance of maintaining oral health is essential, especially in schools. This community service activity aims to increase adolescents' knowledge and awareness of the dangers of tartar and equip them with proper toothbrushing skills. The activity was held on July 5, 2025, at SMP Negeri 1 Manuju, Bilalang Village, Gowa Regency, and was attended by seventh and eighth grade students. The methods used included interactive education, simulations of toothbrushing techniques according to health standards, and the distribution of leaflets as additional information that students can access again. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests to measure knowledge gains, as well as direct observation of toothbrushing practices. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in students' knowledge scores, namely 31.3 points (from an average of 53.4 to 84.7). Furthermore, 92% of students were able to practice correct toothbrushing techniques. These results indicate that an educational approach combined with simulations and visual media is effective in increasing understanding and changing clean and healthy lifestyle behaviors in adolescents. This activity is expected to become a model for sustainable dental health education in schools and be replicated elsewhere.
