Abstract

Background: Individuals with both visual and hearing impairments face significant mobility challenges. Traditional aids such as canes and guide dogs provide limited support, necessitating innovative assistive technologies to enhance independent navigation. Purpose: This study aims to develop and evaluate smart glasses integrating ultrasonic sensors and haptic feedback to assist individuals with dual sensory impairments in detecting obstacles and improving mobility. Methods: A single case study assessed the effectiveness of the glasses. The prototype employs ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection and a microcontroller to process data, triggering vibrations for user alerts. Testing in controlled and real-world environments evaluated detection accuracy, usability, and user experience. Results: The glasses effectively detected obstacles and provided real-time haptic feedback, enhancing spatial awareness. Participants reported improved confidence and ease of navigation. The lightweight, ergonomic design ensured comfort and practicality. Conclusion: These smart glasses present a promising assistive technology for individuals with visual and hearing impairments. By providing real-time haptic feedback, they enhance mobility and independence, demonstrating the potential of wearable technology in rehabilitation and assistive care.

Abstract

Background: Data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey shows that over the past year, half of the Indonesian population aged over 3 years old has had oral and dental health issues. Knowledge about good oral health can prevent oral and dental issues. That is why oral and dental health education is very important, especially at the elementary school age. The application of suitable media for learning and methods of counseling might improve students’ knowledge. This study uses the trivial pursuit game as a learning instrument to improve knowledge about how to maintain the oral and dental health. Objective: to analyze the effectiveness of trivial pursuit media as an effort to increase knowledge of dental health maintenance in elementary school children. Method: This study uses a pre-experimental method with a one group pre-test post-test design. Data analysis used a paired sample t-test. Results: This study shows an average of the knowledge score about how to maintain oral and dental health before playing with the trivial pursuit game of 70.53 and after playing of 93.77, with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05) Conclusion: Trivial Pursuit media effectively increases knowledge of dental health maintenance in elementary school children

Abstract

Background: Oral health is a critical aspect of children’s overall health, particularly during school age, with dental caries being a common problem. Knowledge of oral health is essential in shaping behaviors that promote proper dental hygiene. Objective: To assess the oral health knowledge of Grade V students at SDN Ratu Jaya 01 before and after an educational intervention using drama-based learning. Method: A pre-eksperimental study was conducted involving 60 students selected via total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Results: The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge of oral health maintenance after the intervention. Prior to the drama-based educational session, many students demonstrated low levels of knowledge, whereas the majority exhibited good knowledge afterward. Conclusion: Drama-based learning is an effective medium to enhance oral health knowledge among elementary school students

Abstract

Background: Dental and oral health problems remain common among elementary school children and may disrupt their daily activities and overall quality of life. One major contributing factor is the lack of knowledge about proper oral hygiene. Engaging and interactive educational methods, such as the Ludo game, can help improve students' understanding in a fun and enjoyable way. Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of dental health knowledge improvement before and after educational intervention using Ludo game media. Method: his study employed a pre-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 32 students were selected as samples using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires administered before and after the educational intervention, and analyzed using a paired t-test. Results: The average knowledge score before the intervention was 8,97 increasing to 13,91 after the intervention. The Paired t-test showed a p-value < 0.001, indicating a significant improvement. Conclusion: The Ludo game is effective in increasing dental health knowledge.

Abstract

Background: Strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) are a fruit plant in the form of herbs that were first discovered in Chile, America. The benefits of strawberries are used as a natural ingredient to overcome all dental and oral problems. Tooth stains are pigmented layers on the surface of the teeth, one of the aesthetic problems, usually occurring due to the adhesion of food, drink, or cigarette color that leaves a brown to black layer on the teeth, which occurs over a long period of time is difficult to remove by brushing. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of strawberries in cleaning extrinsic stains and saliva pH in the academic community of the Polytechnic Health of Jakarta I. Method: Quasi-experimental research design with a pre-post experiment approach. The sample used was 60 people. Changes in extrinsic stains were measured using the Lobene Stain Index, which measures the intensity and extent of the stain, as well as a combined score of both, then measuring the pH of saliva using litmus paper. Results: The average combined score was 5.03. The extrinsic stain score after strawberry application showed an average combined score of 2.23. After analysis using the Dependent T test (paired test) and a p-value of 0.01. Meanwhile, the results of the saliva pH analysis obtained a p-value of 0.01 (P<0.05). Conclusion: There was a decrease in the extrinsic stain score after treatment and it showed that strawberry extract could affect saliva pH

Abstract

Background: Gingival recession is one of the periodontal health problems that can affect oral health and aesthetics. Improper toothbrushing techniques may contribute to the occurrence of gingival recession. Educational interventions, such as counseling using a toothbrushing demonstration method, are expected to improve students’ knowledge regarding the prevention of gingival recession. Objective: To determine the level of knowledge regarding gingival recession before and after counseling using the toothbrushing demonstration method among Grade X students of SMA Yapan Indonesia, Depok City. Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 65 students selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to measure students’ knowledge before and after the counseling intervention. Results: Before counseling, the level of students’ knowledge regarding gingival recession was categorized as good (27.7%), moderate (53.8%), and poor (18.5%). After counseling using the toothbrushing demonstration method, the level of knowledge increased, with good (90.8%), moderate (7.7%), and poor (1.5%) categories. Conclusion: Counseling using the toothbrushing demonstration method increased students’ knowledge regarding gingival recession, with knowledge levels improving from predominantly moderate to predominantly good
