Abstract

Dental and oral health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, as untreated dental and gum issues can lead to pain, impaired chewing ability, and potentially disrupt overall health. This is particularly important for school-aged children, who are especially vulnerable to dental health problems. Notably, the prevalence of tooth decay, cavities, and oral diseases is highest among children aged 5-9 years, with an incidence rate of approximately 54.0%. This research aims to compare the effectiveness of scrapbooks and flipcharts as educational media for enhancing dental and oral health knowledge among students at SDN 133 Pewa, Pasui Village, Buntu Batu District, Enrekang.This study employs a quantitative experimental design with a quasi-experimental approach, utilizing a two-group pre-test and post-test format. The sampling technique used was quota sampling, encompassing a total of 30 students—15 assigned to the scrapbook group and 15 to the flipchart group. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test to evaluate the outcomes.The findings indicate a significant improvement in dental and oral health knowledge post-intervention in both groups. The Mann-Whitney test result revealed a p-value of 0.004, indicating a significant difference in effectiveness between the scrapbook and flipchart educational interventions. Both scrapbook and flipchart media were effective in increasing students' knowledge of dental and oral health, with a notable difference in their impact. The study underscores the importance of selecting appropriate educational tools to enhance health knowledge among school-aged children.

This media is not only effective in conveying information directly, but can also be used as an outreach tool that can be disseminated widely. The use of this technology can increase the audience's absorption and understanding, especially children who tend to be more responsive to visual media. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of using educational videos on brushing teeth on the knowledge and skills of Berbt Elementary School students. Muhammadiyah Berua, Makassar City.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems in Indonesia have increased based on the results of the 2007 Basic Health Research by 43.4% to 53.3% in 2013 and by 57.6% in 2018. The prevalence of caries in South Sulawesi is 55.54%, in Makassar City by 52.09%, and in the 5-9 year age group by 65.51%. Dental caries often occurs in children because they tend to like sweet foods and drinks and do not clean them. Caries in children can be influenced by factors such as poor eating habits, tooth brushing habits, and rarely checking with a dentist. School-age children usually like sweet foods, such as candy, chocolate, and cakes. These sweet foods are high in carbohydrates which are prone to causing caries. Caries if left untreated can have a negative impact on the quality of life of children both physically and psychologically, from adolescence to adulthood. The effects of caries can cause periodontal disease, which is a severe infection of the gums and bones that support the teeth. The purpose of this study was to determine the analysis of the risk of dental caries based on the consumption of cariogenic foods in elementary school children. This research method uses a survey with a cross-sectional approach, starting from measuring caries using direct examination with a status card and children's consumption habits using a questionnaire. Data were tested using anova and chi-square. The results showed that the incidence of dental caries based on the consumption of cariogenic foods was most commonly found, namely moderate caries rates and moderate cariogenic food consumption of 14 people (28%). The conclusion is that there is a relationship between cariogenic food consumption and the risk of dental caries. Keywords: Risk of dental caries; cariogenic foods

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems in Indonesia have increased based on the results of riskesdas in 2007 by 43.4% to 53.3% in 2013 and by 57.6% in 2018. The prevalence of caries in South Sulawesi is 55.54%, in the city Makassar as much as 52.09%, and in the 5-9 year age group as much as 65.51%. The source of dental health problems is generally closely related to oral hygiene maintenance behavior. To change bad behavior, one way is to intervene through education. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of dental and oral health education using booklets, flipcharts, and animated videos to increase children's dental and oral health knowledge. This type of research has a pre-post test research design by providing three different intervention groups. Data analysis used the Friedman-Paired Test because the data was normally distributed. The research results showed that the p value m for the booklet and animated video media intervention group was 0.000 (p<0.05), which means that the booklet and animated video media were effective in increasing dental and oral health knowledge, while the p value for the flipchart intervention group was 0.115 (p>0.05), ) means that flipchart media is not effective in increasing knowledge of dental and oral health.

Abstract

Pangkajene and Islands Regency is one of the regions in South Sulawesi with the highest prevalence rate of dental caries, reaching 55.83%. Dental caries is the most common dental and oral health problem in Indonesia, caused by a lack of knowledge about dental hygiene, which also affects people's skills in maintaining dental and oral hygiene. One of the vulnerable social groups that needs attention is children living in orphanages. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between knowledge level and skill level on the prevalence of permanent dental caries in children at the Mattoanging Orphanage, Pangkajene District, Pangkep Regency. This research method is classified as a quantitative research type using a cross sectional approach design. The sampling technique used was total sampling where all members of the population totaling 45 people were sampled. The statistical test scale used is Chi-square with a significance limit of 5% (α = 0.05). The results show a significant relationship between the incidence of permanent dental caries and the level of knowledge (p-value 0.019) and the level of skill in maintaining oral hygiene (p-value 0.001). The conclusion is that there is an inverse relationship between the level of knowledge and the level of skill on the incidence of dental caries. The lower a person’s knowledge and skills in maintaining oral hygiene, the higher the chance of them experiencing dental caries.

Abstract

Mothers' oral health literacy is one of the key factors that can influence children's dental health. In communities with low education levels and health awareness, the risk of dental caries in children tends to be higher. This study aims to examine the relationship between mothers' oral health literacy and children's dental caries status in the slum areas of Makassar. This research is a cross-sectional study involving 101 mother-child pairs in Makassar. Data were collected through an oral health literacy questionnaire filled out by the mothers, and a dental caries index (def-t) examination for the children. Statistical analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between the mothers' oral health literacy and the children's dental caries index, as well as the influence of sociodemographic factors. The study found that the mothers' oral health literacy was divided into three categories: low (34.7%), medium (34.7%), and high (30.7%). The analysis showed no significant relationship between mothers' oral health literacy and children's dental caries status (p=0.113). However, there was a trend indicating a decrease in children's dental caries index as the mothers' oral health literacy increased. In addition, a comparative analysis revealed a significant relationship between the mothers' education level and oral health literacy (p=0.003). The conclusion of this study is that, although the direct relationship between mothers' oral health literacy and children's dental caries status was not statistically significant, improving oral health literacy remains crucial in the effort to prevent dental caries in children. Interventions focusing on enhancing mothers' oral health literacy, particularly among lower-educated communities, are expected to reduce the incidence of dental caries in children
