Abstract

ABSTRACTProblem statement: The prevalence of dental and oral health problems in Indonesia in adolescents aged 10-14 years is 55.6% and the prevalence of caries in children aged 10-14 years is 73.4%. Adolescents are categorized as quite susceptible to dental caries. One way to prevent dental and oral disease is by chewing xylitol gum and applying Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP – ACP). Xylitol cannot be metabolized by Streptococeus mutans and the application ofCasein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) can inhibit the demineralization process in teeth so as to prevent caries. Purpose: This study aims to determine how the pH of saliva compares after chewing xylitol gum and applying Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) in class VIII students at SMPN 17 Tasikmalaya City. Method: this study used pre-experimental method (quasi experiment, with non-equivalent design one group pre-test and post-test) research design as many as 61 students. The measuring instrument of the study uses universal indicators. Data analysis using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: based on statistical test results before and after chewing xylitol gum intervention, salivary pH was obtained from 6.19 to 6.74, Wilcoxon test results obtained p-value 0.017 and after CPP-ACP smearing intervention, salivary pH results were obtained 6.74 to 7.00 Wilcoxon test results obtained values p value 0.006. The results of the mann-whitney statistical test obtained a p-value of 0.015. Conclusion: There was a difference in salivary pH after chewing xylitol gum and applying Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) in grade VIII students of SMPN 17 Tasikmalaya city.

Abstract

Background: The dental mouth mirror is a primary diagnostic tool used by oral health professionals to examine the condition of the oral cavity. However, conventional mouth mirrors often face obstacles. Around 53% of dental health professionals report difficulties in providing care due to frequent fogging and dirt accumulation on the mirror surface. Field examinations also often encounter problems due to limited lighting. Patient comfort must also be considered during procedures, as it affects the healing process. Therefore, an innovative dental examination instrument with integrated lighting was developed to enhance patient comfort during treatment.Method: This study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach along with a true experimental design, specifically a posttest-only with control group design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, involving 60 dental filling patients who met the inclusion criteria. Product testing data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, and the Mann-Whitney test.Result: Expert validation of the dental examination instrument with integrated lighting yielded an average feasibility score of 83.3% (classified as highly feasible) with a p-value of 0.00. The effectiveness test of the tool showed a significant improvement in patient comfort (p = 0.000).Conclusion: The dental examination instrument with integrated lighting has been validated and proven effective in improving patient comfort during dental filling procedures performed by oral health professionals.
