Abstract

The WHO states that tooth decay is the most common chronic disease experienced by people around the world. The result of the 2023 SKI shows that, on average, people aged ≥ 3 years in the last year complained of having dental and oral problems. One of the teachings of Islam regarding health is the Islamic recommendation on dental and oral health, and one of the things recommended by the Prophet Muhammad is to use a miswak. Islamic boarding schools are expected to educate their student in all aspects in accordance with Islamic values and norms, including aspects of dental and oral health. This study aims to analyze the differences in education with the addition of an Islamic approach in the diffusion of innovation in oral health maintenance using siwak. This approach is examined through five characteristics of innovation according to the theory of innovation diffusion, namely relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, triability, and observability. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with two treatment groups: education without the addition of an Islamic approach and education with the addition of an Islamic approach. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, and the total number of respondents in this study was 60 students. The result shows that education with the addition of an Islamic approach showed a significant increase in the characteristics of triability and observability, and generally yielded higher scores compared to education without the addition of an Islamic approach. The Islamic approach was proven to be more effective in increasing respondents' decisions to use siwak and had a strong influence on the persuasion stage in the innovation adoption process. The conclusion is that the integration of religious values into health education can strengthen public acceptance and intention toward innovations in dental care based on the Sunnah.

Abstract

Dental caries remains a major public health problem among preschool children and is strongly influenced by behavioral risk factors, particularly frequent sugar consumption and inadequate toothbrushing. Outdoor activity and dietary vitamin D intake may contribute to oral health through their potential roles in vitamin D status and dental mineralization. This study examined whether outdoor activity and dietary vitamin D intake moderate the association between caries risk factors and dental caries status among preschool children. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among children aged 5–6 years in the Kedungdoro Community Health Center area, Surabaya. From a target population of 393 children, 200 participants were selected using simple random sampling. Data on sugary food and beverage consumption, toothbrushing habits, outdoor activity, and dietary vitamin D intake were collected using parent-administered questionnaires, while dental caries status was clinically assessed using the dmf-t index. Spearman’s rank correlation and hierarchical moderated regression analyses were performed. Among the 200 children, sugary food and beverage consumption (r = 0.737, p < 0.001) and poor toothbrushing habits (r = 0.744, p < 0.001) were strongly and positively associated with dental caries status. Outdoor activity was inversely associated with caries status (r = −0.355, p < 0.001), whereas dietary vitamin D intake was not significantly associated with caries status (r = −0.069, p = 0.333). In the final regression model, sugary food and beverage consumption (β = 0.401, p < 0.001) and poor toothbrushing habits (β = 0.350, p < 0.001) remained significant predictors, while outdoor activity showed an inverse association (β = −0.147, p = 0.009). Neither outdoor activity nor dietary vitamin D intake significantly moderated the associations between caries risk factors and dental caries. These findings highlight the importance of behavioral factors in preventing dental caries among preschool children.
