Dentists need to know the proper use of denture adhesive so that they can educate public the indication and contraindication to avoid side effects. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitudes, and implementation toward of denture adhesive among dental students and dentists. Methodology: The questionnaire was made through expert discussion and psychometric test to determine the validity and reliability of the questionnaire was tested on 146 subjects consist of 73 dental students and 73 dentists in Jakarta. Test retest reliability was tested on 30 subjects. Univariate analyze were carried out on knowledge, attitudes, and implementation of each group of respondents. Result: The 29 items of questionnaires were consist of three domains of knowledge (23 items), attitude(3 items) and implementation (3 items). Convergent validity was confirmed by correlation coefficients ranged from 0.327 to 0.355 for knowledge, attitude, and implementation domain. Internal consistency showed Cronbach alpha values from 0,669 to 0,859. The interclass correlations were ranged form 0.821-0.923. Significant differences between dental students and dentists were found for implementation domain toward denture adhesive. In this study, 87.7% dental students and 80.8% dentists were already know about denture adhesive. But 78.1% dental students and 39.7% dentists have never applied this material. Conclusions: Questionnaire knowledge, attitude, and implementation toward denture adhesive in Indonesian has a good validity and reliability value, especially in knowledge and implementation domain.

Abstract

Introduction: Currently, every country in the world is experiencing a growing older adults population, both in number and proportion. The aging process in older adults is parallel to a decline in numerous physiological functions, including oral function. Older adults who encounter decreased oral function are likely to manifest symptoms such as impaired articulation, episodes of choking during eating, and an increase in the amount of food they cannot chew. Recent research reports that decreased oral function may affect brain function and trigger the onset of cognitive decline. This article review aims to explores the connections between oral function and cognitive function in older adults. Review: Today’s view of oral health is more than the number of teeth present and whether or not oral hygiene is sufficient but also includes the ability to perform functions such as mastication, tongue and lip motor skills, salivary secretion and swallowing. Decreased oral function has led to the concept of oral frailty which characterized by a gradual decline in oral functions such as chewing, swallowing, tongue pressure, and oral motor skills. Initially proposed by Tanaka, oral frailty is now recognized not merely as a dental issue but as a potential early marker of broader systemic decline, including cognitive impairment. Conclusion: Decreased oral function could also be causative factor for the onset of cognitive decline in older adults.
