Abstract

Background: An epidemiology study at Menur Public Health Center revealed that the highest case of hypertension was found in the late elderly (56-65 years) in the period of September-October 2023, most of them have dental and oral problems. Based on data, most elderly (41.82%) don’t seek any treatment when they experience toothache due to limited access and lack of individual awareness. Therefore, an empowerment program of periodic basic oral screening by cadres in Posyandu is needed for early detection to overcome possible obstacles when visiting the dentist experienced by elderly with hypertension. Objectives: To provide training for cadres in Posyandu Werda Asih regarding basic oral screening through the "Srikandi" program to improve oral health-seeking behavior for elderly with hypertension. Method: The program was conducted by providing direct training to cadres through guidebooks and posters. The program was evaluated using post-test related to basic oral screening and checklist sheet for skills. Results: After training, all cadres in Posyandu Werda Asih for the Elderly (100.00%) had a good level of understanding with an average score of 14 (the lowest score was 13 (18.18%), the highest score was 15 (18.18%)). The skills evaluation showed that all cadres (100%) were able to conduct all of the examination. Conclusion: According to post-test and checklist results, the "Srikandi" program can improve cadres' understanding and ability to perform basic oral screening. This will allow cadres to identify early dental and oral health issues and promote oral health-seeking behavior in the elderly with hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Micronutrient elements are vitamins and minerals that are required in small amounts but play important roles in our body. Insufficient micronutrients can affect health including dental health. Objective: Analyzing effectiveness of micronutrients (calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D) in preventing dental caries. Literature study: This literature study was conducted from Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Pubmed (MEDLINE).  The strategy used in literature collection is in the form of writing keywords that are used to find articles to be reviewed with a publication period between 2012 - 2020.  Discussion: Dental caries is a demineralization of an inorganic part of the tooth due to a multifactorial etiology and occurs when demineralization exceeds remineralization. The calcium and phosphorus ions level in the saliva could affect the balance between demineralization and remineralization of enamel and its deficiency can strongly influence morphology of the tooth. It has been found that calcium level significantly influences hard dental tissues defense mechanisms. On the other side, vitamin D also plays an important role to form enamel and dentin in the tooth development process because of its receptor in ameloblasts and odontoblasts. Deficiency of vitamin D can cause enamel hypoplasia which is a significant factor for early childhood caries. Conclusions: Calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D significantly affecting the demineralization and remineralization process. The optimum concentration and level of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D in the body effectively increase the tooth defense mechanism and reduce the dental caries.
