Abstract

Smoking behavior can have a negative effect on health. It not only causes a systemic effect, but can also cause pathological conditions in the oral cavity. The World Health Organization is pursuing a strategy by replacing the use of conventional cigarettes with electric cigarettes, because they do not contain tar and carbon monoxide compounds, although some evidence says that vaping or e-cigarettes have not been proven safe. This study aims to determine the description of dental and oral hygiene and extrinsic dental stain among e-cigarette smokers in the vaper community in Tasikmalaya City. This was a descriptive study which presents a complete description of the problem under study. The study samples involved 43 respondents. The study used the assessment instruments of OHIS Green and Vermillion index and the extrinsic stain index according to Shaw and Murray. 43 respondents were willing to be examined for the mouth condition. The results of the study showed that 58% of respondents had moderate dental and oral hygiene status. 61% of respondents had moderate level of extrinsic dental stain. It can be concluded that the Vaper community in Tasikmalaya City had a moderate status of oral hygiene and extrinsic dental stain. It is recommended that future researchers can observe a comparison of oral and dental hygiene between conventional smokers and e-cigarette smokers so that it is expected to increase public knowledge about the impact of cigarettes and e-cigarettes on dental hygiene and stain.

Abstract

Caries in permanent first molars is the main cause of the high prevalence of extractions since the first molars are the first teeth to erupt. Such eruption is due to poor behavior in maintaining dental health as well as the anatomical shape of the first molars which have pits and fissures as the places for the food waste to stop. This study aims to determine the dental caries status of permanent first molars among children aged 8-9 years at SDN 35 of North Pontianak. This was a descriptive study with a survey method. The results of the study showed that the highest caries incidence rate of 20% was found in the first permanent molars, namely tooth 4.6. Caries incident was mostly found among female respondents by 69% and aged 9 years by 64%. It can be concluded that there were 65 healthy teeth with the highest number for tooth 1.6 by 48%. Furthermore, there were 119 dental caries with the highest number for tooth 4.6 by 78%. The rates of dental caries among female respondents and those aged 9 years were higher by 69% and 64%, respectively. Dental caries rate among respondents aged 9 years were larger, namely 64%. It is recommended to conduct further study regarding the level of understanding in maintaining dental health among children.

Abstract

Dental technicians cannot avoid being exposed to various physical, chemical, and biological agents due to their work environment. Therefore, technicians must control the work environment according to standard procedures to protect themselves from metal exposure in the workplace. Metal exposure can cause a decrease in the wild P53 gene. This study aims to determine the correlation between work environment control and wild P53 level among dental technicians. This was an analytic observational study with a cross sectional approach. There were 40 randomly selected samples. Data were derived through interviews and observation. Wild P53 was examined from saliva by indirect ELISA method. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test with the significance value of p<0.05 (95% confidence level). The results showed that there was a significant correlation between work environment control and wild P53 level with a significance value of p<0.05. It was further obtained a Spearman's correlation value of 0.436. Such finding indicated a positive correlation value, meaning that the higher the score of work environment control performed by dental technicians while working on metal prostheses, the higher the P53wild level. It can be concluded that there was a significant correlation between work environment control and wild P53 level. The better and more correct the implementation of work environment control, the higher the wild P53 level. Future researchers are recommended to observe the effect of variables with other genotoxic markers on the effect of work environment controls among dental technicians.

Abstract

Dental issues in children, impacting proper tooth growth, highlight parental responsibility for a child's oral health. Children depend on their parents for dental care, and unaddressed dental caries can lead to growth disturbances and increased stunting rates. The 2021 SSGI study shows a 37.8% stunting prevalence in East Nusa Tenggara, surpassing the national rate of 24.4%, with 15 districts in NTT exceeding 30%. In 2022, the national stunting rate decreased to 21.6%, but East Nusa Tenggara maintained a dominant 35.3% rate, with Kupang City and Kupang Regency exceeding the national average at 25.1% and 24.1%, respectively. This study aims to explore the relationship between maternal knowledge and attitudes concerning oral health and the occurrence of dental caries in children at risk of stunting at SDN Baumata Timur. Utilizing a cross-sectional approach, 62 students were examined, and their Body Mass Index (BMI-for-age) identified those experiencing malnutrition. Subsequently, students with malnutrition underwent dental examinations, and their mothers completed a questionnaire. Among the 62 students, 25 were identified as malnourished. Data analysis, employing correlation and multiple regression tests with a significance level of p < 0.05, indicates that maternal knowledge is not significantly related to dental caries in children, both in permanent (DMF-T) and deciduous teeth (def-t). Conversely, maternal attitudes significantly correlate with dental caries in children in both types of teeth. Multiple regression analysis reveals no significant relationship between maternal knowledge and attitudes regarding dental health and DMF-T in elementary school children (p > 0.05). However, a more significant relationship exists between maternal attitudes toward dental health and def-t in elementary school children (p=0.010<0.05). This highlights that maternal attitudes toward children's dental health influence their behavior, particularly regarding deciduous teeth. In conclusion, while no significant relationship exists between maternal knowledge and dental caries in children, a significant association is evident between maternal attitudes and dental caries in children with malnutrition at SDN Baumata Timur.

Abstract

The limitations of dental healthcare personnel to reach the entire population necessitate the involvement of health cadres in fostering self-care practices for oral health. Through training using the Dental Care Application, they can effectively convey this knowledge to the community. This research aims to enhance the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of Posyandu cadres related to dental and oral health. The research method employed is a Quasi-Experiment with a Non-Randomized Control Group Pretest-Posttest design. The Wilcoxon test is utilized to assess the impact of the Dental Care Application on these variables. The research results indicate a significant increase in knowledge by 96%, attitudes by 98%, and cadre actions by 86%. It is concluded that cadre training using the Dental Care Application positively influences cadre behavior in the context of dental and oral health, with a significant p-value of 0.000. Recommendations for future research include the development of this application for online accessibility and the addition of more diverse features to enhance training effectiveness.
