Abstract

Abstrak Karies gigi masih menjadi masalah kesehatan mulut yang paling banyak dialami anak usia dini. Riskesdas 2018 mencatat prevalensi karies sebesar 81,1% pada anak usia 3–4 tahun dan meningkat menjadi 92,6% pada usia 5–9 tahun. Kerentanan ini diperburuk oleh kebiasaan konsumsi makanan manis, teknik menyikat gigi yang kurang tepat, serta rendahnya pengetahuan anak dan orang tua mengenai kesehatan gigi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas penyuluhan kesehatan gigi terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan anak prasekolah di TK Al-Munawaroh Kediri. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 28 Oktober 2025 menggunakan metode ceramah interaktif, demonstrasi teknik menyikat gigi, praktik bersama, ice breaker, serta evaluasi pre-test dan post-test. Sebanyak 24 anak mengikuti kegiatan ini. Pemeriksaan awal menunjukkan nilai rerata DMF-T sebesar 2,08, menandakan tingkat karies kategori sedang pada kelompok usia dini. Hasil pre-test memperlihatkan bahwa pengetahuan awal anak masih rendah pada seluruh indikator penilaian. Setelah intervensi edukasi, terdapat peningkatan skor yang bermakna pada seluruh aspek pengetahuan, di mana rerata skor meningkat dari 2,06 ± 1,19 menjadi 4,31 ± 0,60. Uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan antara skor pre-test dan post-test (p < 0,001) dengan selisih rata-rata 2,25. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa metode edukasi yang melibatkan demonstrasi, praktik langsung, media visual, serta aktivitas interaktif terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan kemampuan anak dalam menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Program edukasi seperti ini direkomendasikan sebagai kegiatan rutin sekolah untuk mendukung upaya pencegahan karies sejak usia dini.

The 2018 National Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) reported caries prevalence of 81.1% among children aged 3–4 years and 92.6% among those aged 5–9 years. This vulnerability is exacerbated by frequent intake of sugary foods, improper toothbrushing techniques, and limited oral health knowledge among children and their parents. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dental health education in improving the knowledge of preschool children at Al-Munawaroh Kindergarten, Kediri. The intervention was conducted on October 28, 2025, using interactive lectures, toothbrushing demonstrations, guided practice, ice-breaker activities, and pre-test and post-test assessments. A total of 24 children participated in the program. Initial examination showed a mean DMF-T score of 2.08, indicating a moderate level of caries in this age group. Pre-test results demonstrated low baseline knowledge across all assessment indicators. Following the educational intervention, children’s knowledge improved significantly, with the mean score increasing from 2.06 ± 1.19 to 4.31 ± 0.60. The Wilcoxon test indicated a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.001), with an average increase of 2.25 points. These findings confirm that educational strategies incorporating demonstrations, hands-on brushing practice, visual media, and interactive activities are effective in enhancing children’s understanding and skills in maintaining oral hygiene. Such programs are recommended as routine school-based interventions to support early prevention of dental caries.

Abstract

Oral health remains a global burden affecting more than 3.5 billion individuals worldwide. Despite the rapid advancement of digital technology, its role as a medium for oral health promotion and education has not been systematically mapped. This study aimed to analyze the role of digital interventions in oral health education and promotion through a bibliometric-based Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Data were collected from the ScienceDirect database using the PRISMA method with the keywords Digital Media AND Oral AND Community and Dental Health Promotion AND Community, yielding 529 selected articles published between 2016 and 2026. Analysis was conducted using VOSviewer 1.6.20 through a term co-occurrence approach, resulting in 34 items grouped into four clusters. Findings revealed that digital interventions effectively improve oral health knowledge and behavior. The four clusters encompassed digital literacy and behavior change, the burden of dental disease in children, web-based program implementation, and family access barriers and perceptions. Temporal trend analysis indicated a paradigm shift from descriptive-epidemiological toward technology-based interventionist approaches. A research gap was identified regarding the role of social mediators in digital dental service adoption. These findings highlight the urgency of developing protocolized, inclusive, and contextually appropriate digital interventions to sustainably improve community oral health.
