Abstract

Background: The elementary school period is a golden age for instilling the values of clean and healthy living behaviour (CHLB) and has the potential as an agent of change to promote CHLB in schools, families and communities so as to create quality human resources in the future. Currently children are very vulnerable to dental and oral health, because at that age there is a transition or change of teeth, namely from deciduous teeth to permanent teeth, for that special attention needs to be given to dental and oral health so that the growth and development of teeth can be maintained properly. Purpose: to enhance knowledge of CHLB and screening of dental malocclusion in an effort to improve the quality of life related to dental and oral health. Methods: 116 participants from grades 3-5 elementary school students. Data was collected by means of intraoral examination and filling out pre-test and post-tests questionnaires. Furthermore, an analysis of the frequency distribution data was carried out by mean of statistical analysis. Results: male students had higher caries (59 people) and those who were not caries (4 people), compared to girls (47 people) and those who were not caries (6 people). CHLB knowledge level is good (86.8%), moderate (8.2) low (5%). Conclusion: caries in boys is higher than in girls and all respondents' knowledge of CHLB is good.

Abstract

Background: When teeth are not positioned correctly, it is referred to as malocclusion, and it frequently happens in the general population. One of the traits of malocclusion that is frequently observed in children beginning in the early mixed dentition phase is crowded teeth. This disorder will become more serious and cause speech, masticatory, and cosmetic issues if therapy is not started right away. Environmental and genetic factors have a significant impact on malocclusion. Therefore, a child's nutrition, bad habits, trauma to the main teeth, and the pattern acquired from both parents will all affect the malocclusion's characteristics. Purpose: Enhance instruction in identifying malocclusion and the stages of permanent and changing tooth growth. Methods: Forty-six students from Madrasah Tsanawiyah's classes 7A and 7B participated. Intraoral examinations and the completion of pretest and posttest questionnaires were used to collect data. Next, Stastical Package Social Science (SPSS) version 23 was used to analyze the frequency distribution data. Results: Male students had more crowded teeth (20) and less crowded teeth (2) than female students (18) and less crowded teeth (6). Class I malocclusion (41), class II malocclusion (3), and class III malocclusion (2) are the highest. Conclusion: Malocclusion class I is characterized by the greatest number of crowded teeth in males aged 8 to 10 years.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries remains one of the primary health problems. Stunting has become a critical health priority in Indonesia, representing a nutritional disorder that results in children having lower height compared to their peers. There was a significant relationship between oral health problems and growth stunting, where dental and oral health issues can contribute to stunting development, and vice versa. Early detection of malocclusion is crucial for preventing complications and can provide both short-term and long-term benefits in maintaining optimal growth and development. Purpose:  to enhance dental and oral health knowledge for malocclusion detection as an effort to prevent stunting among elementary school children during the corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: This analytical observational study was conducted at SDN Medowo III, Kediri Regency, East Java, involving 100 participants from grades 4, 5, and 6. Intervention by video education and presentation education booklet. Data collection was performed through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Frequency distribution analysis was conducted using SPSS version 23. Results: The study showed significant improvement in dental and oral health knowledge across all grade levels. Pre-test scores for dental health knowledge were 58%, 64%, and 60% for grades 4, 5, and 6, respectively, which increased to 80%, 82%, and 85% in post-test evaluations. Similarly, stunting knowledge improved from 59%, 68%, and 70% in the pre-test to 80%, 81%, and 83% in the post-test across the respective grades. Conclusion: The educational intervention effectively enhanced elementary school children's knowledge regarding dental and oral health and stunting prevention during COVID-19.
