Introduction: Oral and dental health problems in Indonesia continue to increase, yet the utilization rate of health services, especially in remote, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions, remains relatively low. Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) play a crucial role in providing promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services, supported by electronic medical record systems to facilitate the analysis of patient visit patterns and morbidity. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of patient visits to the dental and oral health unit at UPTD Puskesmas Selemadeg Timur I, Megati Village, as a basis for improving the quality and effectiveness of health services. Materials and Methods: This study is descriptive quantitative research conducted at UPTD Puskesmas Selemadeg Timur I in April 2025. Data were collected from the medical records of 1,253 patients from January to December 2024 using a total sampling method. The observed variables included visit classification, payment mechanisms, gender, and 5 dominant cases based on gender. The results were analyzed and presented in tables and charts to illustrate the distribution and trends of dominant cases. Results and Discussion: There were 1,253 visits over one year, with the majority being follow-up patients (73.42%), covered by JKN (91.37%), and female patients (61.77%). The peak of visits occurred in December, influenced by the academic calendar and health promotion activities. The most common diagnosis was pulpitis (K04.0) at 43.66%, disturbances of tooth eruption (K00.6) at 22.27%, gingivitis and periodontal diseases (K05.0) at 22.11%, pulp necrosis (K04.1) at 5.91%, and periapical abscess without sinus (K04.7) at 2.39%. Conclusion: The visits were predominantly follow-up cases, involving JKN participants and female patients, with pulpitis (K04.0) being the most frequent diagnosis. The high utilization of JKN highlights the vital role of community health centers in ensuring equitable access and quality of dental healthcare services in their respective service areas.

Introduction: The prevalence of dental caries in children remains high in Indonesia. Primary teeth are particularly vulnerable to caries, yet parental awareness of children's oral health is often insufficient. As a result, children with caries often do not receive proper treatment. It is unfortunate when caries occur at an early age. This study aims to describe the occurrence of dental caries and the need for dental treatment in early childhood. Material and Methods: This study utilized a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional approach, which involved 52 children, aged 3 to 5 years. Dental caries were assessed using the def-t index, while treatment needs were evaluated with the Required Treatment Index (RTI). The data collected were analyzed descriptively and further examined using the Mann-Whitney and Spearman's rank correlation test. Results and Discussions: The prevalence of dental caries in children was 57.69%, with an average def-t score of 2.62. Caries were most commonly found in the upper jaw, particularly affecting the primary first incisors, followed by the primary molars. The treatment needs index (RTI) was 99.26%, indicating that most carious teeth were left untreated, requiring dental treatment. There was no significant caries difference between boys and girls (p > 0.05). However, a significant correlation was found between age and caries frequency (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The average caries rate in primary teeth falls within the low category. However, nearly all affected teeth require treatment. Among children aged 3 to 5 years, caries prevalence tends to increase with age, and no difference between boys and girls.

Introduction: The increasing life expectancy in Indonesia, including Denpasar City, has led to a growing elderly population. Older adults are vulnerable to various health problems, including tooth loss. This condition can impair chewing function, affect facial aesthetics, and ultimately reduce the quality of life. Dentures are a commonly used solution; however, their use among the elderly remains low. Therefore, it is important to explore the factors influencing the interest in using dentures. Material and Methods: This study was a qualitative research including a descriptive exploratory approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 older adults from five community units (banjar) in Denpasar City, selected purposively. Data were analyzed thematically using the Hanlon method, which considers the magnitude of the problem, seriousness of the impact, effectiveness of the solution, and feasibility of implementation, to assess and prioritize the factors contributing to the low interest in denture use. Results and Discussions: Six main themes were identified as influencing the low interest in denture use: passive acceptance of tooth loss as a natural part of aging, limited access due to lack of transportation or assistance, (3) low knowledge about the benefits of dentures, discomfort during use, perception of high costs, and ignorance of the Indonesian health insurance coverage. Conclusion: The low interest in denture use among older adults is influenced by psychosocial, structural, and educational factors. Educational interventions, provision of mobile health services, and culturally sensitive, community-based approaches are needed to improve denture utilization among older adults.

Background: Tooth loss (edentulism) is a common oral health problem among older adults that negatively affects chewing ability, aesthetics, and quality of life. Posterior teeth, particularly molars, are more susceptible to loss due to their functional load and anatomical position. Biological factors such as age and gender may contribute to variations in tooth loss; however, community-level evidence remains limited in specific local settings.Purpose: This study aimed to describe the pattern of tooth loss and explore its potential association with age and gender among elderly individuals in Banjar Kebon Kori, Kelurahan Kesiman, East Denpasar.Methods: A descriptive observational study was conducted involving 17 elderly participants selected through total sampling. Data were collected through direct clinical oral examinations. Statistical analysis was primarily descriptive (frequency and percentage), and bivariate analysis was performed using Fisher’s Exact Test due to the small sample size. Results: Tooth loss was predominantly observed in posterior teeth, particularly the first molars (21.6%). Females showed a slightly higher proportion of tooth loss (53.4%) compared to males (46.6%). A higher proportion of tooth loss was also observed among participants aged ≥70 years compared to those aged 60–69 years. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size (n = 17) and unequal group distribution. Conclusion: This study suggests that tooth loss among elderly individuals tends to be more frequent in posterior teeth and may vary according to age and gender. However, the findings are exploratory and do not establish causal relationships. Further studies with larger and more representative samples are needed to confirm these observations.Keywords: Age, Elderly, Gender, Posterior teeth, Tooth loss.

Introduction: Adolescent smoking contributes to early-onset periodontal disease, while institutional prevention programs often lack reinforcement at home. This study evaluated an 8-week psychosocial intervention integrating school-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a family-engaged Tobacco-Free Home (TFH) campaign to improve smoking behavior, risk attitudes, and social support. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design involved 259 adolescent smokers in Bali, Indonesia. Intact classrooms were clustered into intervention (n = 139) and control (n = 120) groups. Psychosocial variables were measured at baseline and week 8. Data were analyzed using t-tests, Pearson correlation, and ANCOVA adjusted for baseline covariates. Result and Discussion: The intervention group showed significantly greater improvements in all outcomes compared with controls. Smoking behavior improved significantly (Δ = 0.76, p < 0.001), while ANCOVA confirmed strong group effects (F = 62.14). Positive correlations (r > 0.49) indicated that smoke-free home norms reinforced cognitive self-regulation, supporting social support as a key mediator. Conclusion: The CBT–TFH model effectively modified determinants of adolescent smoking behavior, with social support as an important catalyst for change. By extending intervention effects into the home environment, this strategy may help reduce long-term periodontal disease risk.
