Abstract

Data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health indicate that the majority of the population brushes their teeth daily (94.7%). However, only 2.8% practice toothbrushing at the recommended times, namely after breakfast and before going to bed. The Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) also reports a high prevalence of dental caries among children, reaching 81.1% in those aged 3–4 years, 92.6% in children aged 5–9 years, and 73.4% among those aged 10–14 years. This study aimed to describe toothbrushing knowledge and its relationship with the occurrence of dental caries among scavenger children at the Makassar City landfill site. A descriptive study design was employed, involving a population of 75 scavenger children aged 6–12 years. Total sampling was applied, meaning all eligible children were included as respondents. Data were analyzed using SPSS through descriptive statistical analysis (univariate) and cross-tabulation (bivariate). The results showed that most respondents had a good level of toothbrushing knowledge (53.3%), while 25.3% had moderate knowledge and 21.3% had low knowledge. Furthermore, dental caries were found in the majority of children (94.7%), whereas only 5.3% were free from caries.

Abstract

Dental caries is a dental health problem that generally occurs in children, one of which can be prevented through the use of fluoride. Parental knowledge is essential to form appropriate attitudes and actions in preventing caries in children, especially in terms of safe and effective use of fluoride.This study aimed to understand the relationship between parental knowledge about the use of fluoride and the prevention of dental caries in children aged 5-9 years at RSGMP Unhas. This study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional method. Sampling was carried out by accidental sampling technique on 60 parent respondents who had children aged 5-9 years at RSGMP Unhas. The instrument is in the form of a closed questionnaire that has been tested for validity using the Pearson Product correlation (r calculated > 0.361; p < 0.05) and was declared valid, and the reliability test with Cronbach's Alpha was 0.828 for the knowledge variable and 0.563 for the fluoride use variable. Data analysis was carried out by Chi-Square test at a significance level of 0.05. There was a significant relationship between parental knowledge level and fluoride use (p=0.000). The higher the knowledge, the more likely it is to apply the use of fluoride through toothpaste, mouthwash, or clinic apiation. Parental knowledge plays a crucial role in efforts to prevent dental caries in children. Therefore, it is important to improve structured education to encourage optimal use of fluoride.

The background of this study is based on the high prevalence of dental and oral health problems in children, with 60-90% of school-aged children experiencing tooth decay. Additionally, the active role of parents is crucial in guiding children to maintain good oral health. The objective of this study was to identify the level of parental knowledge in improving the oral health of children aged 6-10 years at the Hasanuddin University Dental and Oral Health Education Hospital. This research method used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 93 parents of children aged 6-10 years undergoing treatment at RSGMP. The results of the study showed that respondents who obtained scores in the range of 26-40 contributed 54.3% of the total respondents, indicating that more than half of the respondents were classified as good. Respondents who scored between 0 and 15 numbered 10 individuals, representing 1.1%, while those who scored between 16 and 26 numbered 40 individuals, accounting for 45.2% of the total 93 respondents, falling into the moderate score category. The study concluded that fathers were more dominant than mothers in actively maintaining their children's dental health. Respondents who obtained a good category contributed 54.3%, respondents in the poor category numbered 10, representing 1.1%, and respondents in the moderate category numbered 40, accounting for 45.2% of the total 93 respondents, who were parents of children at the RSGMP of Hasanuddin University.

Abstract

The high prevalence of malocclusion has led to an increased demand for fixed orthodontic treatment. This phenomenon is exploited by non-professional practitioners, which risks harming patients if the choice of practitioner is inappropriate; therefore, it is necessary to determine the level of knowledge underlying decision-making, taking into account differences in environment and access to information between boarding and non-boarding secondary school students, by comparing the level of knowledge of boarding and non-boarding secondary school students in Makassar regarding the selection of fixed orthodontic treat-ment practitioners. Using a quantitative method and an analytical observational design via a cross-sectional study approach, 150 respondents (75 boarding stu-dents and 75 non-boarding students) were involved in Biringkanaya District, Makassar City. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using an independent samples t-test, which showed that the mean knowledge level of non-boarding students (62.17) fell into the ‘adequate’ category, whilst that of boarding students (52.03) fell into the ‘inadequate’ category. Statistical analysis revealed a significant level of 0.000 (p<0.05), proving a significant difference in knowledge levels between the two groups. It was concluded that non-boarding students possess a higher level of knowledge regarding the selection of fixed orthodontic appliances.
