Abstract

Introduction: Tooth brushing is an act of dental and oral health care that is most performed by the community. 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

Partial tooth loss can lead to impaired chewing function, speech, and aesthetics, which negatively impact quality of life. One commonly recommended solution is the use of removable partial dentures (RPDs) due to their affordability and practicality. However, the use of RPDs remains low in the community, likely due to limited knowledge and low interest among the population. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and interest in the use of RPDs among patients with partial tooth loss at BLUD UPTD Puskesmas Purwaharja 2, Banjar City. This is a descriptive observational study using a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 96 respondents aged 45–59 years, selected through purposive sampling and meeting the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire assessing the level of knowledge and interest in RPDs. The results showed that most respondents had low knowledge (43.2%) but still demonstrated high interest (50.0%). Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between knowledge and interest in the use of RPDs (p=0.000). These findings highlight the importance of dental health education as a strategic measure to improve acceptance and use of removable partial dentures in the community.

Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Oral health is essential to a child’s overall well-being. Poor oral hygiene can result in dental caries, discomfort, and negatively affect daily functions such as eating, speaking, and learning. Traditional education methods like lectures often fail to engage children effectively. This study aims to analyze  the impact of Chomper Chums, a gamified mobile health application, on improving oral hygiene among elementary students at SDK Yahya Bandung. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial involving 175 students from grades I–VI at SDK Yahya Bandung. Samples were obtained using a total sampling technique and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Oral hygiene was assessed using the Personal Hygiene Performance (PHP) index with Triplaque ID gel. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27, employing descriptive and inferential statistical tests, including the Chi-square test, Mann–Whitney test, Spearman correlation, and simple linear regression Results: The study was divided into a control group that received health education (n = 87) and an intervention group that used an application (n = 88), with participants aged 7–12 years. The highest frequency distribution was observed in the 10- and 11-year age groups, each comprising 37 students. The results showed that before the intervention there was no significant difference in the Personal Hygiene Performance (PHP) index between the intervention and control groups (p>0.05). After the intervention, the reduction in PHP index in the Chomper Chums application group was significantly greater than in the counseling group (p<0.001). This indicates that the Chomper Chums application is more effective in improving students’ oral hygiene.Conclusion: Chomper Chums demonstrates strong potential as an effective, child-friendly oral health education tool. Further research is recommended for long-term impact evaluation.KEYWORDS: oral hygiene, dental health education, mobile applications, gamification, dental plaque index, randomized controlled trialPengaruh aplikasi chomper chums terhadap indeks PHP siswa sekolah dasar swasta: Studi eksperimentalABSTRAKPendahuluan: Kesehatan gigi dan mulut berperan penting dalam kesejahteraan anak. Kebersihan gigi yang buruk dapat menyebabkan karies, ketidaknyamanan, serta mengganggu aktivitas seperti makan dan belajar. Edukasi tradisional sering kurang menarik bagi anak-anak, sehingga pendekatan inovatif seperti aplikasi digital mulai dikembangkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh aplikasi edukatif Chomper Chums terhadap kebersihan gigi anak di SDK Yahya Bandung. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan randomized controlled trial pada 175 siswa kelas I–VI SDK Yahya Bandung. Sampel diambil dengan teknik total sampling dan dibagi secara acak menjadi kelompok intervensi dan kontrol. Kebersihan gigi diukur menggunakan indeks Personal Hygiene Performance (PHP) dengan gel Tri Plaque ID.  Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan SPSS 27 dengan uji deskriptif dan inferensial, meliputi uji Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, korelasi Spearman, serta regresi linier sederhana Hasil: Penelitian dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol yang menerima penyuluhan (n=87) dan kelompok intervensi yang menggunakan aplikasi (n=88), dengan rentang usia 7-12 tahun, distribusi frekuensi tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok usia 10 dan 11 tahun (masing-masing 37 siswa). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum intervensi tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna indeks PHP antara kelompok intervensi dan kontrol (p>0,05). Setelah intervensi, penurunan indeks PHP pada kelompok aplikasi Chomper Chums secara signifikan lebih besar dibandingkan kelompok penyuluhan (p<0,001). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi Chomper Chums lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan kebersihan gigi dan mulut siswa. Simpulan: Chomper Chums efektif sebagai media edukasi anak dan diperlukan penelitian lanjutan untuk melihat efek jangka panjangnya.KATA KUNCI: kebersihan mulut, edukasi kesehatan gigi, aplikasi seluler, gamifikasi, indeks plak gigi
