Abstract

Halitosis in children is a common problem that can affect their social and psychological well-being. While many interventions exist, there is a growing demand for natural and effective solutions. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of MAGIfresh, a novel herbal mouthwash containing Manalagi apple peel (Malus sylvestris Mill.) extract, in reducing halitosis in children. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted on 63 elementary school students. Halitosis levels were measured using a 0-5 organoleptic scale before and 30 minutes after rinsing with the mouthwash. The collected data were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed a statistically significant reduction in halitosis scores after the intervention (p < 0.001). The mean organoleptic score decreased from 0.74 in the pretest to 0.07 in the posttest. The findings concluded that MAGIfresh mouthwash was highly effective in reducing halitosis in children.

Abstract

Maintaining oral health is a critical component of overall health, particularly among school-aged children who are prone to dental caries and gingivitis. In Semarang, the School-Based Dental Health Program (UKGS) faces challenges such as manual record-keeping, limited monitoring, and insufficient teacher involvement, which hinder program effectiveness. This study aimed to develop and evaluate E-UKGS, a web-based system designed to support teachers and dental health professionals in planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating UKGS activities effectively. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE framework, combined with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design to assess effectiveness, encompassing five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Needs assessment involved interviews and observations with the Health Office, dental professionals, and teachers, complemented by literature review. Expert validation was conducted with UKGS specialists, IT professionals, dental staff, and elementary school teachers. Implementation involved small- and large-scale trials including teachers, students, parents, and health personnel. Participants included 5 dental health professionals, 5 teachers, 56 students, and 22 parents in the implementation phase. All the samples selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using observation checklists, feasibility questionnaires based on ISO 9126, and pretest–posttest instruments. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Paired T-Test, Wilcoxon, and Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). The results showed that E-UKGS significantly improved UKGS management, including planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and accessibility (p < 0.05). Teachers’ roles in promotive and preventive activities also improved significantly (p = 0.04). Feasibility testing indicated that the system was highly suitable for independent use, with average scores of 97.3% for dental health professionals and 96% for teachers (p = 0.000). In conclusion, E-UKGS is an effective and feasible web-based system that enhances program management and strengthens teachers’ roles in school dental health efforts. This platform has the potential to improve the quality and sustainability of UKGS implementation in elementary schools.

Abstract

Background: Pregnant women are vulnerable to decreased salivary pH due to hormonal changes, which can lead to oral health issues such as caries, gingivitis, and halitosis. Excessively acidic salivary pH may also affect maternal nutrition and fetal development. Lemon-infused water contains vitamin C and citric acid, which are known to stimulate saliva production and naturally help neutralize oral acidity. Objective: To examine changes in salivary pH before and after gargling lemon-infused water in pregnant women at the KIA Clinic, Kedaung Health Center, in 2025. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 30 pregnant women were selected using purposive sampling. Salivary pH was measured before and after gargling using a pH meter. Results: Prior to the intervention, 70% of participants had acidic salivary pH. After gargling, the proportion of participants with acidic pH decreased to 56.66%, while those with neutral pH increased to 43.34%. Conclusion: Lemon-infused water shows potential as a natural alternative to help balance salivary pH and support oral health in pregnant women.
