Abstract

Dental caries is one of the most common oral health problems experienced by school-age children, particularly those aged 6–14 years, who are considered a vulnerable and critical age group for the development of dental caries. This study aimed to determine the difference in knowledge about dental caries before and after counseling using a modified snakes and ladders game as an educational media among students of class 3A and 3B at Wachid Hasyim 2 Elementary School, Surabaya. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest–posttest approach. The population consisted of all students in class 3A and 3B at Wachid Hasyim 2 Elementary School, Surabaya. A total of 44 students were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The analysis showed a p-value < 0.05, indicating a significant difference in knowledge about dental caries before and after counseling using the modified snakes and ladders game as educational media. In conclusion, counseling using a modified snakes and ladders game is effective in improving knowledge about dental caries among elementary school students.Keywords: dental caries knowledge; snakes and ladders game media; elementary school students

Abstract

Pulp disease is one of the most common oral health problems among the elderly. In recent years, cases of pulp disease among older adults have shown a consistent increase. This condition indicates the need to explore contributing factors, particularly the level of knowledge regarding oral and dental health, which may influence the occurrence and progression of pulp disease in this population. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge of oral and dental health and the incidence of pulp disease among the elderly at Wonosalam Primary Health Center, Jombang Regency. This study employed a cross-sectional design conducted at Wonosalam Primary Health Center, Jombang Regency. The study population consisted of elderly participants selected as research respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to assess the level of knowledge regarding oral and dental health. The association between knowledge and pulp disease was analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between knowledge of oral and dental health and the occurrence of pulp disease among the elderly (p = 0.03). Participants with lower levels of knowledge were more likely to experience pulp disease compared to those with better knowledge. As conclusion, knowledge of oral and dental health is significantly associated with pulp disease among the elderly. Improving educational and preventive efforts targeting older adults is essential to enhance awareness and reduce the risk of pulp disease.Keywords: knowledge; elderly; pulp disease; oral and dental health
