Abstract

The objective this research aimd to ascertain the connection between understanding of oral health and actual mouth cleanliness stats of elderly patients at the Periodontics Specialist Clinic of RSGM Universitas Airlangga. An analytical survey with a cross-sectional method was used for this research. Through purposive sampling, a total of 54 individuals were selected to participate. The findings indicated that most of respondents had a middle level of knowledge regarding oral and dental hygiene, while most exhibited poor oral hygiene status. The Chi-Square test was conducted to the gathered data to examine the correlation between participants’ knowledge and their oral hygiene status. Nevertheless, the analysis revealed no significant association between understanding of oral health and actual mouth cleanliness stats among the elderly. This outcome is presumed to be due to the absence of behavioral data related to the respondents' oral hygiene practices. Consequently, it’s recommended that healthcare providers consistently offer education and counseling on oral and dental care to the elderly in order to enhance their oral health status.

Abstract

Smoking remains a major public health concern and is widely recognized as an important behavioral risk factor for poor dental and oral health. Tobacco exposure contributes to plaque accumulation, calculus formation, gingival inflammation, and impaired oral tissue healing. However, evidence regarding the relationship between smoking habits and oral hygiene status in Indonesian primary health care settings is still limited. This study aimed to analyze the association between smoking habits and dental and oral hygiene status among patients attending the Dental Clinic of the Kesamben Community Health Center, Jombang Regency. A quantitative cross-sectional analytical design was employed in March 2025. The study involved 30 male patients aged ≥25 years who were selected using purposive sampling. Smoking habits were assessed using a structured 20-item questionnaire and categorized into low, moderate, and high levels based on cumulative scores. Dental and oral hygiene status was evaluated using the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), which classifies hygiene conditions into good, moderate, and poor categories. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical methods, including the Chi-square test, Spearman correlation analysis, and Phi effect size, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had high smoking intensity (93.4%) and poor oral hygiene status (96.6%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between smoking habits and oral hygiene status (χ² = 7.226; p = 0.007). Spearman correlation analysis indicated a moderate positive relationship between smoking intensity and worsening OHI-S scores (r = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.18–0.74), with a moderate effect size (φ = 0.49). In conclusion, higher smoking intensity is significantly associated with poorer dental and oral hygiene among adult patients at the Kesamben Community Health Center. These findings highlight the importance of integrating smoking cessation counseling with preventive oral health education in primary health care services to improve overall oral health outcomes.

Abstract

Health is essential for overall well-being and productivity, and oral health is closely linked to general health. Issues in the mouth can affect the whole body and human quality of life. At Sanggar Alang-Alang, for the preliminary observation 10 children showed an average OHIS score of 3.2 and a Debris Index of 2.1—both in the poor category. This study aimed to examine the relationship between dental health knowledge and the Debris Index among 48 street children using a cross-sectional correlation design. Data were collected through questionnaires and oral examinations, then analyzed with the Spearman Rank test. Results showed no relationship between dental health knowledge and the Debris Index. Although most adolescents had good knowledge, their debris levels remained high. This indicates that knowledge alone is not enough to ensure good oral hygiene; proper attitudes and behaviors must also support it
