Abstract

Oral and dental health is often neglected by the public, even though it plays a role as an entry point for germs and bacteria. Awareness of children aged 10–12 years in maintaining oral and dental health is still low, as seen from the habit of being lazy about brushing their teeth and frequently consuming sweet foods. This study aims to determine the description of knowledge about maintaining oral health and permanent tooth decay in fourth-grade students of SDN 18 Sesetan in 2026. The type of research is descriptive analytical with a cross-sectional approach. Primary data are in the form of knowledge test results and student dental examinations, and secondary data are in the form of student attendance. The results of the study on 37 students showed that the highest level of knowledge was in the sufficient category, with 22 students (59.46%). The number of students who experienced caries was 24 students (64.87%). It was concluded that most students have a level of knowledge about maintaining oral and dental health in the sufficient category with an average of sufficient knowledge and dental caries still very high.

Abstract

Oral health is an essential component of overall health. The high prevalence of oral health problems among elementary school children highlights the need for effective health promotion strategies. One educational method suitable for children is storytelling, which delivers health messages through engaging and easy-to-understand stories. This study aimed to determine the effect of oral health education using the storytelling method on the knowledge of oral health maintenance among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri Nomor 3 Sukawati in 2026. This quantitative study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design. The population consisted of all 36 fourth-grade students at SD Negeri Nomor 3 Sukawati, and total sampling was applied. Data were collected using knowledge questionnaires administered before and after the educational intervention. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, paired t-test, and Cohen's d effect size analysis. The results showed that before the intervention, most students had a good level of knowledge (47.2%) with a mean score of 61.67 ± 11.24. After the storytelling-based oral health education, all participants (100%) achieved an excellent level of knowledge, with the mean score increasing to 95.97 ± 4.18. The paired t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (t = 18.72; p < 0.001).

Abstract

Globally, approximately 3.58 billion people suffer from dental health issues. Indonesia ranks second in Southeast Asia for dental healthcare expenditure. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge levels, education, and dental caries among PKK (Family Welfare Empowerment) members in Awan Village. A survey design was employed, targeting the entire PKK population of Awan Village (N=150). A sample of 60 respondents was selected using the Slovin formula and simple random sampling. Data on knowledge were collected through direct assessment using a 20-item questionnaire with four-choice answers regarding oral and dental health maintenance. Data were subsequently analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, specifically the Chi-Square test. The results showed the following respondent characteristics: the largest age group was 25–35 years (45%), and the most common education level was low (47%). Regarding dental status, 88.3% of respondents had caries, while only 11.7% had healthy teeth; the mean caries score was 3.38. The highest incidence of caries was found among those with a secondary education level, and the majority of respondents fell into the "sufficient" category for caries-related knowledge. Chi-square analysis indicated a significant relationship between education level and oral and dental health knowledge. The conclusion of this research that, there is a significant relationship between education level and oral and dental health knowledge.

Abstract

Metatah, the Balinese Hindu tooth-filing rite marking maturity, deliberately abrades six anterior teeth as exposing dentin and raising hypersensitivity risk at the same time as knowledge is lacking. This study tested whether ‘Senyum Bali.” A culturally embedded educational website, could close that gap. In a one-group pretest-posttest quasi experimental study, 150 purposively sampled students in the range of 15-18 years from SMA Negeri 1 Ubud, Bali, completed the knowledge validation and interest through 15 items each questionnaired before and after ne day of self-directed website access (Cronbach Alpha = 0.926/00.988). Wilcoxon signed rank tests (p < 0.001) showing knowledge jumped from 4.77 t0 13.39 and interest from 19.91 to 52.51 (both p = 0.001), a low to high shift on both meausers. Paiting clincal accuracy for post-ritual dental education; controlled, longer term trials should confirm lasting behavior change.

Abstract

Gingivitis is an inflammatory condition of the gingival tissues that is closely associated with dental plaque accumulation and may be influenced by oral hygiene behavior. Adolescents are vulnerable to gingivitis because of hormonal changes and suboptimal oral health practices. Schools provide a strategic setting for oral health promotion and preventive programs.This study aimed to determine the relationship between oral hygiene behavior and gingivitis among eleventh-grade students at Gandhi Usada Bali Vocational High School in 2026.This analytical observational study used a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all 32 eleventh-grade students at Gandhi Usada Bali Vocational High School, and all students were included using the total sampling technique. Gingival status was assessed using the Löe and Silness Gingival Index (GI), while oral hygiene behavior was assessed using a structured questionnaire and categorized as good, moderate, or poor. Univariate analysis was performed using frequency and percentage distributions. Bivariate analysis was conducted to determine the association between oral hygiene behavior and gingivitis. Because some expected cell frequencies were low, Fisher's Exact Test was used. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results Of the 32 students, 27 (84.4%) had gingivitis and 5 (15.6%) had healthy gingiva. The proportion of gingivitis was descriptively higher among male students (88.2%) than female students (80.0%). Most students had moderate oral hygiene behavior (43.8%), followed by poor behavior (31.2%) and good behavior (25.0%). Among students with good oral hygiene behavior, 4 (50.0%) had healthy gingiva and 4 (50.0%) had gingivitis. Among those with moderate behavior, 1 (7.1%) had healthy gingiva and 13 (92.9%) had gingivitis. All students with poor oral hygiene behavior had gingivitis (100%). Fisher's Exact Test indicated a significant association between oral hygiene behavior and gingivitis Conclusion: Oral hygiene behavior was associated with gingivitis among eleventh-grade students at Gandhi Usada Bali Vocational High School in 2026. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening oral health promotion and preventive programs through education, oral hygiene behavior development, and regular dental examinations in school settings.

Abstract

Proper toothbrushing habits among school-aged children remain inadequate, highlighting the need for engaging and effective educational media. TikTok videos have the potential to serve as an audiovisual medium for oral health education. Objective: This study aims to analyze the knowledge level and toothbrushing skills in fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 3 Sukawati using TikTok video media.Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 42 fifth-grade students selected using total sampling. Knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire, while toothbrushing skills were evaluated through an observation checklist. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The Shapiro-Wilk test indicated that the data were not normally distributed (p<0.05); therefore, differences between pretest and posttest scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 74.52 to 95.11, with an improvement of 20.59 points (27.6%). The mean toothbrushing skill score increased from 38.33 to 99.40, representing an improvement of 61.07 points (159.3%). The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed statistically significant differences between pretest and posttest scores for both knowledge (Z≈−5.59; p<0.001) and toothbrushing skills (Z≈−5.66; p<0.001). Cohen's d values of 1.73 for knowledge and 5.24 for skills indicated a very large intervention effect. Conclusion: TikTok video-based oral health education is effective in improving both knowledge and toothbrushing skills among fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 3 Sukawati.

Abstract

Good oral and dental health is one of the supporting factors for achieving optimal overall health. Efforts to maintain oral and dental health should begin early, during elementary school age. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health education on students' knowledge of oral and dental health maintenance by comparing their knowledge before and after the educational intervention among second- and third-grade students at SD N 1 Takmung in 2025. The study employed descriptive methods to determine the mean and percentage, and analytical methods to examine the effect of the educational intervention on students' knowledge. A pre-test and post-test design was used with a total population of 45 respondents. The results showed that before the educational intervention, the highest frequency of knowledge level was in the fair category, with 27 students (60.00%), while the lowest frequency was in the poor category, with six students (13.33%). After the educational intervention, all respondents (45 students, 100%) were classified in the very good category. The average knowledge score before the intervention was 68.67, categorized as fair, while after the intervention it increased to 92.22, categorized as good. The study concluded that the frequency of knowledge levels improved from predominantly fair to all respondents being in the good category, and the average knowledge score increased from the fair category to the good category. The results of the statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a Z value of −5.78 with p < 0.00, indicating a statistically significant difference between the knowledge scores before and after the educational intervention.
