Abstract

Abstract. Oral health issues in children are a significant global public health concern. Factors such as dietary habits, socioeconomic status, and level of knowledge affect the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal diseases, and other oral health conditions. In Indonesia, especially in urban areas like Surabaya, growing attention is paid to children's oral health. This study aimed to assess children's dental and oral health status in Kelurahan Simokerto, Surabaya, and identify associated risk factors. The sample is 38 children aged 3-11 years in Kelurahan Simokerto. Data were gathered through clinical exams. Results showed a high prevalence of dental caries and poor oral hygiene practices, such as infrequent brushing and limited flossing. Socioeconomic factors, including parental education and household income, were linked to the children's oral health status. These findings highlight the need for targeted oral health promotion programs in Kelurahan Simokerto, focusing on improving oral hygiene practices, encouraging regular dental check-ups, and addressing socioeconomic determinants of oral health. The study highlights the need for long-term, community-driven interventions to address dental caries and improve oral health outcomes, as short-term efforts showed no significant changes in DEFT and OHIS frequencies in Kelurahan Simokerto.

Abstract

Dental caries remains a prevalent public health issue, particularly in rural areas with limited access to dental care. This study aimed to assess the oral health status of residents in Randegansari Village through dental screening and DMF-T score analysis. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 15 participants aged 13–65 years. The results showed a high DMF-T score, with missing teeth contributing the most. The high prevalence of tooth loss and untreated caries indicated inadequate access to dental care and a lack of awareness regarding oral hygiene. The primary challenges identified were the absence of preventive measures and limited access to restorative treatment. To address this issue, educational programs on oral health, preventive interventions such as fluoride applications, and improved access to dental care are essential. The study concludes that increased community awareness and dental services are necessary to reduce caries prevalence and improve oral health in rural populations.

Abstract

Background: Dental anxiety is a common psychological condition that affects individuals undergoing conservative dental procedures such as root canal therapy and restorative treatments. It influences not only a patient’s decision to seek care but also their perception of treatment outcomes and overall quality of life related to oral health. Purpose: This literature review aims to evaluate the relationship between dental anxiety and oral health, particularly its impact on the quality of life of patients undergoing endodontic and restorative dental treatments. Reviews: Dental anxiety is closely associated with increased pain perception, reduced cooperation, and decreased trust in dental professionals. Patients with high anxiety often experience greater discomfort and dissatisfaction, reflected in difficulties eating, speaking, and socializing. Studies consistently show that anxiety can impair treatment experiences and outcomes, while proper management leads to improved oral health and well-being. Effective strategies such as clear communication, empathetic interaction, and adequate pre-treatment preparation are proven to reduce fear and enhance patient satisfaction.Conclusion: Dental anxiety has a significant effect on many aspects of a patient's well-being before, during, and after conservative dental procedures. By adopting a caring and personalized approach, dental professionals can help alleviate anxiety and support improved treatment experiences and outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Aesthetic treatments in conservative dentistry, such as tooth whitening, veneers, and composite restorations, have become increasingly popular as more patients seek to enhance their appearance. Unlike therapeutic procedures, these treatments are often elective and based on personal preferences, which brings forward important ethical and legal questions. One of the key aspects is how dentists ensure that patients truly understand the benefits, risks, and alternatives before making a decision. Purpose: This review aims to examine the ethical and legal dimensions of informed consent in aesthetic conservative dentistry, with particular reference to Indonesia's Law No. 17/2023 concerning Health. It explores how dental professionals are expected to balance patients' aesthetic desires with ethical responsibilities and legal duties. Reviews: The discussion covers core ethical principles, including autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice as the foundation of a meaningful consent process. It also examines the latest national regulation, which outlines patient rights and dentist responsibilities, particularly Law No. 17/2023 concerning Health. Since aesthetic procedures are not always medically necessary, they require extra care in communication and documentation to ensure proper patient care and treatment. Conclusion: Informed consent in aesthetic dental care should not be treated as a formality. It is a vital ethical practice that ensures patients feel respected and well-informed. For dentists, especially those involved in aesthetic procedures, it is important to apply both ethical reflection and legal awareness in every step of patient care. Following Law No. 17/2023 concerning Health, maintaining open and honest communication fosters trust and supports safe, responsible treatment.

Abstract

Access to dental services is critical in determining public health status, yet significant disparities persist, especially in remote areas. This literature review explores the impact of limited access to dental care on public health. The review methodology involved analyzing recent studies addressing the various factors—economic, geographical, and social determinants—influencing access to dental services in different communities. The results indicate that individuals with restricted access to dental care are more prone to oral diseases, which can lead to a decline in overall health and quality of life. Furthermore, these communities often face higher treatment costs due to the need for more complex procedures when issues are untreated for extended periods. The findings highlight that limited access to dental services increases the burden on healthcare systems and exacerbates inequalities in health outcomes. In conclusion, improving access to dental services, particularly in underserved and rural areas, is essential to mitigate the negative effects of oral diseases, reduce healthcare costs, and improve public health outcomes in the long term. Addressing these disparities is crucial for promoting equitable health opportunities for all.
