Abstract

Background: The problems encountered in identifying material needs in the Banjarmasin Dental Health Department laboratory are still carried out conventionally, namely by recording in books with the condition of students who increase every year so that the application of conventional systems is no longer effective to be implemented. This study aims to optimize the identification of website-based clinical material needs in the Banjarmasin JKG laboratory. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with a model trial using the pre-experimental design one group prepost test method with purposive sampling. With a total sample of 50 people. The results based on the Willcoxon statistical test with a p-value of material needs identification before and after the application using the website of 0.000 <0.05 this shows that there is a difference in the effectiveness of identifying material needs before by 12.82 and after using the website by 15.44 there is an increase of 2.62. This means that the application of the website is more effective in identifying material needs compared to the previous system. The use of this new system presents data and information that can be utilized by users.

Abstract

The results of the Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) in 2018 showed that 67.8% of the Indonesian population aged more than 15 years experienced periodontal disease such as periodontitis. The incidence of periodontitis disease can occur and become more severe in the presence of systemic factors such as diabetes mellitus. People with diabetes mellitus experience several health complications caused by increased blood sugar levels, blood vessels, and nerves, including the gums. This can weaken the bone surrounding the teeth and gums, and increase the risk of other oral diseases, such as tooth loss and dental caries caused by the weakening of tooth attachment to the gums and a decrease in the rate of saliva in the mouth. Efforts to prevent the occurrence of periodontal disease and other oral and dental disease infections in patients with diabetes mellitus are by conducting health education and monitoring programs for patients. The goal is to increase knowledge, willingness, awareness, compliance and community participation in maintaining and maintaining dental health independently. The methods used in this service are interviews, observations and the implementation of training and health monitoring for respondents. Based on the results of the activities that have been carried out in the service, the respondents gave a positive response and there was an increase in knowledge, awareness and motivation in maintaining their health
