Abstract

Karies gigi merupakan salah satu penyakit gigi dan mulut yang terbanyak terdapat dimasyarakat (Riskesdas, 2018). Di Propinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur, pada anak dengan kelompok umur 12 tahun keadaan gigi rusak, berlubang ataupun sakit menunjukkan angka 43,32%. Terapis gigi dan mulut mempunyai peran yang penting dalam mendeteksi, mengidentifikasi dan manajemen dental karies (Yamamoto dan Fannon, 2015). Berdasarkan data hasil Riskesdas 2018, persentasi jumlah anak yang sudah pernah mendapatkan perawatan fissure sealant hanyalah kelompok anak usia 15 tahun dan cuma 0.1% dari total sampel. Hal ini menunjukkan masih rendahnya ketercapaian program pencegahan penyakit gigi dan mulut dimasyarakat, sedangkan angka karies gigi pada anak cukup tinggi (DMF-T anak usia 12 tahun adalah 1.9) dan semakin meningkat dengan bertambahnya usia anak (Riskesdas 2018). Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui distribusi kasus fissure sealants di Kabupaten Kupang. Kasus gigi yang membutuhkan perawatan fissure sealant berdasarkan jenis kelamin, pada perempuan sebanyak 35.40%, laki-laki sebanyak 34.16%. Berdasarkan kelompok usia yang mempunyai indikasi perawatan fissure sealant maka anak pada usia 7 tahun yang mempunyai indikasi perawatan fissure sealant yang terbanyak yaitu 31.68%, diikuti oleh anak usia 8 tahun 24.22%, 6 tahun sebanyak 9.32% dan anak usia 9 tahun 4.35%. Dari keempat gigi molar pertama permanen yang dinilai, gigi molar pertama bawah kanan mempunyai jumlah indikasi kebutuhan perawatan fissure sealant yang lebih tinggi yaitu 92 (14.29%) gigi dan diikuti dengan gigi molar pertama kiri bawah dengan jumlah 89 (13.82%) gigi, gigi molar pertama kiri atas dengan jumlah 58 (9.01%) gigi dan gigi molar pertama kanan atas dengan jumlah 53 (8.23%) gigi yang terindikasi memerlukan perawatan fissure sealant

Abstract

Standard precautions play a crucial role in preventing infections among patients, healthcare workers, and practicing students. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, masks, protective glasses, and protective clothing, helps prevent risks associated with needle-stick injuries, aerosol splashes, and water sprays. A preliminary study revealed that 70% of students do not comply with PPE usage, and 50% have inadequate knowledge regarding PPE. This study aims to analyze the relationship between students' knowledge levels and their compliance with PPE usage. Using an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, the study involved 97 fifth-semester students undergoing practical training in the dental and oral healthcare laboratory from February to June 2024. The sample was selected using a total sampling technique, while data were collected through questionnaires, checklists, and interviews. Data analysis was performed using the Kendall Tau-b correlation test.  The results showed that 52.6% of students had good knowledge of PPE, while 70.1% were categorized as compliant in its use. The Kendall Tau-b correlation test indicated a significant relationship between knowledge level and compliance with PPE usage (p = 0.027 < 0.05).  In conclusion, higher knowledge levels about PPE are associated with greater compliance among students. Therefore, more intensive training and socialization efforts are needed to enhance students' adherence to PPE implementation.

Abstract

Promotive and preventive actions in maintaining dental and oral health start from an early age. The indicator for maintaining dental and oral health is the time to brush your teeth because brushing your teeth is the main primary preventive measure. The effectiveness of brushing your teeth not only depends on the shape and method of brushing your teeth, but also depends on the frequency and duration of brushing your teeth. The aim of this community service is to provide information in the form of counseling on how to brush teeth properly and correctly to each individual so that they can maintain the health of their teeth and mouth and provide early preventive measures against caries in PPA IO-641 Agape Sikumana children through toothbrushing. The method used is in the form of counseling using a dental panthom model and practicing how to brush teeth properly and correctly, as well as supervision so that children can understand and get used to brushing their teeth correctly. The success of implementing this activity is marked by the child's ability to brush their teeth independently in the correct way so that tooth decay can be prevented. Result: counseling on how to brush teeth properly and correctly using a direct demonstration method using a dental panthom model to teach PPA children how to brush teeth correctly. This shows that it is important to provide dental health information in PPA so that children can understand the technique and how to brush their teeth properly and correctly. Conclusion: children aged 6-8 years have received promotive efforts in the form of education on how to brush their teeth properly and correctly as well as received preventive efforts in the form of brushing their teeth. Suggestion: It is hoped that PPA IO-641 Agape Sikumana can collaborate in dental health care services with the Dental Health Department to obtain routine promotive and preventive efforts so that newly erupted young permanent teeth are protected from caries

Abstract

Stunting is a condition where a child under 5 months of age or is often considered a toddler and has a shorter height or length than a normal child of the same age. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines stunting as a height that is two standard deviations lower than the child's growth and development target. Stunting toddlers are also commonly referred to as short toddlers, this can be seen by measuring the length or height of the toddler with results below normal. Based on data from the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Study (SSGI), the prevalence rate of stunting in NTT reached 37.8 percent or the highest of all provinces in the country. This percentage is also still below the national stunting rate, which is 24.4 percent. based on prevalence, the five provinces with the highest stunting rates are East Nusa Tenggara at 35.3 percent. Based on data on the distribution of stunting in Kupang City 25.1 percent Kupang Regency at 24.1 percent, still higher than the national figure. Factors that influence stunted growth (stunting) include maternal factors: maternal nutritional status during pregnancy, maternal education level, maternal knowledge level, breastfeeding, other factors (MP-ASI), infection factors, family economic factors and environmental factors. Parents, especially mothers, must have good knowledge and awareness in maintaining children's dental health. Children whose parents have low knowledge about proper oral hygiene are at higher risk of experiencing dental caries than children whose parents have better knowledge. One approach that can be taken to improve maternal knowledge is to provide information that is easy to understand and apply, one of which is through leaflets

Abstract

The most susceptible tooth surface to caries in children is the occlusal surface of the first and second permanent molars. A program that can be carried out effectively to reduce the risk of caries on the pit and fissure tooth surface is through pit and fissure sealant treatment. The method of community service activities is: education about dental health accompanied by a demonstration of how to brush teeth and fissure sealant filling according to the indications for children who are willing to undergo dental treatment. Results: after dental health education was carried out, there was a significant increase in the good knowledge category, which increased to 55.9%. The percentage of respondents with sufficient knowledge decreased to 44.1% and there were no more respondents included in the poor knowledge category (0%). Fissure sealant filling has been successfully carried out with a target of 30 children, where 38 teeth with deep fissures have been treated. Conclusion: dental health education can increase respondent knowledge. Fissure sealing is one form of effective preventive intervention on permanent first molars because they are the earliest teeth to erupt and are most susceptible to caries, so they are the main target in prevention programs. The combination of educational interventions and preventive clinical actions such as fissure sealing has proven effective in promoting and preventing dental and oral health.
