Effective dental and oral health education media can have a significant positive impact, such as print media like flipcharts and video media. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using flipchart and video media in improving elementary school children's knowledge of dental health. This research employs a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design with a pre-experimental method. The research sample consisted of 250 students from Tidung State Elementary School, selected through a random sampling technique using the lottery method, and divided into two groups: one using flipchart media and the other using video media. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that after the intervention, video media had a greater impact than flipchart media, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. This indicates that video media is more effective than flipchart media in increasing knowledge about dental and oral health.

Dental and oral health problems are common in elementary school children, one of which is cavities. This tooth damage occurs because children often consume sweet, soft, and sticky foods whose remains remain in the mouth for a long time and are not cleaned immediately. Most tooth decay in children is not only caused by the habit of consuming sweet foods, but can also be influenced by various factors, including proper and consistent brushing habits. Tooth brushing habits also affect the level of dental and oral hygiene. This study aims to determine the relationship between tooth brushing habits and the level of dental and oral hygiene of students at SD 196 Mangasa, Bulupoddo District, Sinjai Regency. This type of research is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The data will be analyzed using univariate analysis to see the distribution of research variables and bivariate analysis with the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test to analyze the relationship between tooth brushing habits and the level of dental and oral hygiene. The results of the study showed that the description of good student tooth brushing habits was (31%) and less good was (69%) and the description of good student tooth and oral hygiene was (5%), moderate (90%), and bad was (5%). The results of the mann whitney statistical test p = 0.034 showed a significant relationship between tooth brushing habits and the level of dental and oral hygiene.

Dental health problems are still a challenge in society, including children with mental retardation who have limitations in intellectual, social, behavioral, and motor coordination aspects. This condition impacts low oral hygiene, where around 75% of children are classified as poor. This situation occurs due to the limited ability of children to carry out tooth brushing activities independently and the lack of dental health programs specifically designed for mentally retarded children. Therefore, behavior change therapy can be an alternative strategy to change tooth brushing behavior by meeting the special needs of children with intellectual disabilities through tooth brushing skills taught by teachers at school. The goal is to provide an alternative to changing children's tooth brushing behavior. The method used is Quasi-Experimental Control Group Pretest and Posttest Design. Results The behavior change therapy model as an alternative approach to changing the behavior of children with special disabilities of mentally retarded children has an average expert validation score of 86.67 (very feasible). Teacher skills effectively improve the tooth brushing behavior of children with intellectual disabilities through a behavior change treatment model approach, with a p-value of 0.040 (p <0.05) meaning that the behavior change therapy treatment model for brushing teeth of mentally retarded children is effective in improving the tooth brushing behavior of mentally retarded children through teacher skills.

Oral health problems in children are still a significant problem in Indonesia. Based on Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data in 2018, it shows that the percentage of cavities is 88.8% while only 2.8% of children apply the right way to brush their teeth. The 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (IHS) also showed a dental caries rate of 43.6% in Semarang City. One of the efforts made to reduce caries rates through a promotive and preventive approach by utilizing media as a means of increasing dental health knowledge is ROPITA (Round Spin Table) media. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ROPITA (Round Spin Table) media on increasing dental health knowledge of elementary school students. The research method used is true experimental design which includes pre-test and post-test with control group design. This study involved two different groups of subjects, namely the intervention group and the control group which were randomly selected. The results of this study showed that the p-value was 0.000 (p < 0.05), meaning that there was an effectiveness of ROPITA (Round Spin Table) media on increasing the knowledge of elementary school students and the Cohen's D value of 0.86, which showed a large effect of the intervention group.

Providing education in health promotion aims to maintain oral health by focusing on efforts to modify or eliminate the factors that cause it (Gavic, et al., 2021). Health education aims not only to increase literacy related to oral health, but to bring about positive behavioral changes if instilled from an early age (Kay, 1996 cited. Deokar, et al., 2021).The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the Snakes and Ladders game on the behavior of fourth grade students after dental health education with PowerPoint media. This study is included in the type of quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest research design involving a control group. This study involved 100 respondents who were divided into two groups. The intervention group consisted of 50 fourth grade students of MIN 3 Bireuen who received education using PowerPoint media accompanied by a Snakes and Ladders game. While the control group consisted of 26 fourth grade students of MIN 9 and 24 students of MIN 19 who were only given education with PowerPoint media. Each study group received health education 4 times, and behavior-related questionnaires were administered at pretest and posttest I (1 month), and posttest II (3 months). Results: there was a significant difference in behavior in the intervention group (0.014) from pretest to posttest II, but the difference in behavior difference from pretest to posttest in both groups did not show a significant value (0.173). Conclusion: snakes and ladders game given after education with PowerPoint media is not better in improving students' dental health behavior.

Dental caries is a multifactorial disease that causes demineralization of the tough tissues of the teeth. One of the factors that contribute to tooth decay is poor behavior. 80% of the students in SD Yapita Surabaya School suffer from dental caries, with an average caries index reaching the "poor" level of 2.2. This problem can be addressed by modifying the turntable teaching model, which can achieve fun and educational learning, thus making the learning process interesting. The aim of this research is to develop a practical and effective modified version of the Turntable teaching model to improve the dental health of students in SD Yapita Surabaya. The research method used is Research and Development with a true experiment research design (pretest-posttest). The sample consisted of 60 respondents including before treatment group and the after treatment group. The data from the model test results used paired t-test. Results: The modified Turntable teaching model was tested by experts for validation, and the inter-class correlation coefficient P value was 0.001. Modification of the Turntable Education Model is feasible and its implementation is effective as an effort to improve actions in maintaining dental health in students at SD Yapita Surabaya in the group after treatment compared to the group before treatment.

Oral and dental health is a vital aspect of general health that must be addressed early, including for children with mild intellectual disabilities. These children face limitations in understanding information, responding to instructions, and controlling fine motor skills, which reduces their ability to maintain personal hygiene, particularly in brushing their teeth independently and properly. One strategy to improve toothbrushing skills in this group is through individualized oral health education tailored to each child’s comprehension and ability. This study aimed to examine the effect of individualized oral health education on toothbrushing skills in children with mild intellectual disabilities. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach. Respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique among children with mild intellectual disabilities attending Special Needs Schools, with 20 children in each group. The study included two groups: the intervention group, which received individualized education, and the control group, which did not receive similar treatment. A structured checklist was used to assess toothbrushing skills before and after the 21 day intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in the intervention group’s toothbrushing skills, from a pre-intervention mean score of 7.34 ± 1.440 to a post-intervention score of 15.81 ± 1.421 (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, the control group showed no significant change (p = 0.505). The difference in skill improvement between the groups was also statistically significant (p < 0.001). In conclusion, individualized oral health education is proven effective in enhancing toothbrushing skills among children with mild intellectual disabilities.

Dental and oral health is an important part of children's health, especially at school age which is the early period of forming healthy living habits. The School Dental Health Business Program (UKGS) was developed as a promotive and preventive effort to instill dental health maintenance behaviors from an early age. However, the effectiveness of its implementation often differs from school to school. This study aims to analyze the effect of the implementation of UKGS on the incidence of caries in students at SD Inpres 5 Birobuli, Palu City, Central Sulawesi Province. The research uses a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. From a total population of 456 students, as many as 103 students in grades I and II were selected as samples. Data were obtained through questionnaires and dental examinations, then analyzed using the Chi-square test (α=0.05). From this study, the results were obtained that the implementation of UKGS in the school is still very low (less than 25%). Of the 103 children, 73 (70.9%) had caries. The statistical test obtained a p-value of 0.477, which indicates that there is no significant influence between the implementation of UKGS and the incidence of caries in students. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of UKGS at SD Inpres 5 Birobuli in order to play a more effective role in reducing dental caries in school children. Increasing educational activities and improving the implementation of dental health business programs is recommended to support better dental and oral health outcomes
