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.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental caries remains a major public health problem affecting adolescents and adults, particularly in urban populations. The Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index is widely used to assess caries experience. Understanding the correlation between age and DMFT scores is important for developing targeted preventive strategies. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between age and DMFT score among adolescents and adults in an urban community. Methods: This analytic observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 150 participants aged 15–40 years from Kelurahan Pegirian, Surabaya. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on predefined eligibility criteria. Dental caries experience was assessed using the DMFT index through clinical examination. Age was analyzed as both a continuous variable and categorized into three groups (15–18, 19–30, and 31–40 years). Statistical analysis included the Spearman rank correlation test and the Kruskal–Wallis test, with a p-value <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The overall mean DMFT score was 4.13 ± 3.19. The mean DMFT scores were 5.20 ± 3.90 in the 15–18 years group, 4.90 ± 3.00 in the 19–30 years group, and 2.80 ± 2.60 in the 31–40 years group. A weak negative correlation was observed between age and DMFT scores (r=−0.20, p=0.015). Significant differences in DMFT scores were found between age groups (p=0.021), with lower scores observed in the 31–40 years group compared to the younger age groups. Conclusion: Dental caries experience showed variation across age groups and tended to be higher in adolescents and young adults. The weak negative correlation suggests that factors beyond age may play a more important role in influencing caries experience. Strengthening preventive strategies during early life stages may help reduce the long-term disease burden.

Abstract

Introduction: The mandibular gonial angle is a craniofacial parameter that reflects anatomical adaptation influenced by growth processes, masticatory function, and sexual dimorphism, making it relevant for age and sex estimation. This parameter has been widely applied in dental and craniofacial studies. However, evidence from community based Indonesian populations remains limited. Population specific data are important for improving the accuracy and applicability of craniofacial indicators. This study aimed to evaluate mandibular gonial angle characteristics for age and sex estimation in Semampir District, Surabaya. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 100 adults aged 21–50 years from Semampir District, Surabaya, consisting of 50 males and 50 females. Mandibular gonial angle measurements were obtained from digital panoramic radiographs using standardized anatomical landmarks. Bilateral measurements were averaged for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize gonial angle values, while inferential statistical tests were applied to evaluate differences related to age and sex.  Results: Descriptive analysis showed variation in mandibular gonial angle values across different age groups without a consistent age-related pattern. In contrast, a clear difference in mean gonial angle values was observed between the sexes, with female subjects demonstrating higher mean values than male subjects. Statistical analysis showed a statistically significant difference in gonial angle values according to sex (p<0.001), while no statistically significant association was found between age and gonial angle measurements (p>0.05).  Conclusion: The mandibular gonial angle demonstrates pronounced sexual dimorphism but limited applicability for adult age estimation in the studied population. These findings suggest that the gonial angle may serve as a supportive craniofacial indicator for sex estimation, while its role in age estimation should be interpreted with caution. Population-specific, community-based data are important for strengthening the forensic and dental applications of craniofacial parameters in Indonesian populations.
