Abstract

Oral and dental health remain important public health issues because they directly affect overall well-being and quality of life. Community-based Puskesmas play a crucial role in promoting preventive oral health habits within the community. This study explored levels of knowledge, attitudes, and daily practices regarding oral health among community members at Pegirian Puskesmas. A descriptive study was conducted with 50 participants who took part in an oral health education activity. The analysis revealed that most participants possessed good knowledge and held very positive attitudes toward oral health; however, these attitudes were not always reflected in their everyday practices. The primary challenge identified was the disparity between what people know and how they apply it in their daily lives. For this reason, health education was delivered with an emphasis on strengthening behaviour and providing practical guidance. The results indicated that attitudes were the strongest aspect, followed by knowledge, while oral health practices remained the weakest. In conclusion, oral health promotion efforts should not only aim to increase knowledge and improve attitudes but also place greater focus on behaviour-based approaches to achieve lasting oral health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Carious lesions remain one of the most prevalent chronic oral diseases and continue to represent a major indication for operative intervention in conservative dentistry. Variability in diagnostic interpretation and treatment thresholds may compromise long-term outcomes when lesion activity and patient-related risk factors are not systematically considered. Contemporary clinical practice increasingly emphasises risk-based management strategies to enhance biological preservation and improve restorative predictability. Purpose: This evidence-informed review aims to examine current concepts and clinical implications of risk-based diagnostic assessment and treatment planning in the management of carious lesions within conservative dentistry. Reviews: The literature indicates that integration of lesion activity evaluation, individualised caries risk profiling, structured diagnostic systems, and adjunct digital technologies contributes to more consistent and minimally invasive treatment decisions. Risk-oriented approaches support preservation of remineralizable tissues, reduce unnecessary operative procedures, and enhance restoration longevity when combined with preventive reinforcement. Contemporary frameworks encourage a shift from procedure-centred intervention toward patient-centred disease control based on susceptibility and biological criteria. Conclusion: Risk-based management provides a rational and biologically grounded foundation for treating carious lesions in conservative dentistry. Incorporation of individualised risk assessment and lesion activity evaluation into routine clinical protocols strengthens treatment predictability, promotes tissue preservation, and supports sustainable restorative outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Social media has become a dominant platform for healthcare communication and promotion, particularly in aesthetic dentistry, where visual treatment outcomes are frequently shared. Patient photographs, procedural videos, and testimonials are widely used to attract public attention. However, traditional informed consent was primarily developed for clinical decision making and may not fully address the ethical implications of digital publication, including permanent online visibility, algorithm-driven dissemination, and potential secondary commercial use. Purpose: This literature review aims to analyze the ethical challenges associated with obtaining informed consent for patient-related social media content and to evaluate whether existing consent practices adequately protect patient autonomy, privacy, and professional integrity in digital environments. Reviews: Conventional informed consent emphasizes disclosure, comprehension, voluntariness, competence, and authorization. In the context of social media, additional concerns arise. Patients may experience subtle pressure to agree due to trust in the practitioner or fear of affecting their care relationship. Risk explanations often overlook long term digital exposure, uncontrolled redistribution, identity recognition despite anonymization, and reuse of content for marketing purposes. These issues create ethical tension between respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, justice and professional responsibility. Current regulatory guidance in many settings does not clearly distinguish between clinical consent and consent for public digital dissemination. Conclusion: Existing informed consent models are insufficient to address the complexities of patient-related content on social media. A digitally adapted and transparent consent framework is essential to ensure voluntary participation, clear risk disclosure, and stronger protection of patient privacy in contemporary healthcare promotion.
