Abstract

Background: Oral health surveys conducted on a very large population involve many examiners who must be consistent in scoring different levels of an oral disease. Prior to the oral health survey implementation, a measurement of inter-rater reliability (IRR) is needed to know the level of agreement among examiners or raters. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the IRR using consensus and consistency estimates in large population oral health surveys. Methods: A total of 58 dentists participated as raters. The benchmarker showed the clinical sample for dental caries and community periodontal index (CPI) score, with the raters being trained to carry out a calibration exercise in dental phantom. The consensus estimate was measured by means of a percent agreement and Cohen’s Kappa statistic. The consistency estimate of IRR was measured by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation. Results: The percent agreement is 65.50% for photographic slides of dental caries, 73.13% for photographic slides of CPI and 78.78% for calibration of dental caries using phantom. There were statistically significant differences between dental caries calibration using photographic slides and phantom (p<0.000), while the consistency of IRR between multiple raters is strong (Cronbrach’s Alpha: >0.9). Conclusion: A percent agreement across multiple raters is acceptable for the diagnosis of dental caries. Consistency between multiple raters is reliable when diagnosing dental caries and CPI.

Abstract

Background: The high prevalence of tooth decay is a major oral health problem in Indonesia. We aimed to determine the relationship between tooth decay and quality of life in children living in rural and urban areas in Indonesia. Methods: A pilot survey was carried out with 2550 students in rural, peri-urban and urban sites in 14 provinces in Indonesia. Age groups included 6-7 years old and 11-12 years old, and we used the pathfinder survey technique. Data collected were based on the WHO STEPS-wise framework using a dental examination by the WHO form (Annex 7) and quality of life questionnaire (Annex 8, Q10). Results: Tooth decay prevalence in 6-7 years old was 88.01%, and 70.27% in the 11-12 years old age group. Children aged 6-7 years old was reported that tooth decay affected their appearance (p=0.013), caused them to avoid smiling and laughing (p=0.003), caused other children to make fun of their teeth (p=0.002) and caused them to miss school hours (p=0.005). Among 11-12 years old children, tooth decay reportedly affected their appearance (p=0.001), caused them to avoid smiling and laughing (p=0.041) and caused them to have chewing difficulty chewing (p=0.031). Conclusions: Tooth decay affects children's quality of life, especially with regard to psychological health.

The function of brushing teeth is to control plaque so as not to cause dental and oral diseases, namely caries and gingivitis. People often do practical things, namely by using an electric toothbrush, where the toothbrush is not yet known how effective it is in removing dental plaque. Purpose: to find out the differences in the effectiveness of U-Shape electric toothbrushes and conventional toothbrushes in cleaning dental plaque. Methods: This literature study uses the narrative review method. Journals and references were collected through the BMC Oral Health, PubMed and Google Scholar online databases and websites which were selected selectively and in accordance with this literature study. Conclusion: The use of a U-Shaped toothbrush shows results that are not effective in removing plaque and is equivalent to not brushing your teeth at all and brushing your teeth using a conventional toothbrush is also still better at removing plaque

Abstract

Ignoring work positions that are continuously carried out will cause musculoskeletal disorders in the future. Ergonomic positions have become a part of the dentistry curriculum. However, because the content is not directly related to dentistry, it is often ignored by the dental students. Purpose: to evaluate how much important is ergonomic position for dental students, and how the ergonomic curriculum provided can be applied in treating patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study by conducting a survey of 70 alumni of Undergraduate Study Program on Faculty of Dentistry who are currently undergoing a professional program at the Teaching Dental Hospital, which was obtained by accidental sampling. Respondents were asked to fill the questionnaire. Results: The ergonomic position was considered very important (48.57%), it was often forgotten (38.57%) and difficult to apply in certain cases (21.43%). 62.86% of respondents realized that the position was not appropriate when it is difficult to gain visual access. Respondents hope that ergonomics is given as often as possible in practical training and given as early as possible in dental curriculum. Conclusions: Continuing education on practical training and given as early as possible is necessary to improve the application of ergonomic positions to dental students

Abstract

Dental caries lesions in children can have a significant impact on quality of life. According to WHO, QoL is a perception that comes from individuals consisting of functional abilities, interaction in society, psychological health, physical health, and life satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between dental caries lesion status and quality of life in children aged 10-12 years at SDN 196 Sukarasa, Bandung City. Analytic observational descriptive research, with a cross-sectional study de-sign. Hypothesis testing was carried out using the Spearman Rank test. The results showed a mean DMF-T index value of 0.3 with low caries status (100%). The mean value of the def-t index was 2.1 with low (68%), medium (19%), and high (13%) caries sta-tus. There is a relationship between dental caries lesion status and quality of life in children. Statistically the correlation between the two is significant because it has a probability value of 0.000 (Sig.<0.05). The lower the score of the child's dental caries lesion sta-tus, the better the child's quality of life. It is concluded that dental caries lesion status can affect children's quality of life.
