Abstract

Dental and oral health is an integral part of overall health; however, it often receives less attention in school-age children. One of the most common problems is dental caries, which is closely related to poor tooth brushing skills. To address this issue, animated video media was applied as an interactive and enjoyable health education tool. This research aims to analyze the effect of dental and oral health education using animated video media on tooth brushing skills among grade I and II students at SD Negeri 2 Carawali, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test–post-test control group. The research stages included preparation, intervention, and evaluation of tooth brushing skills. The results showed that animated video media was effective in improving children’s tooth brushing skills, with a significant increase in skill scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Thus, dental and oral health education using animated video media is feasible and effective in enhancing proper tooth brushing skills in early elementary school children.

Abstract

A 2020 engineering report from the WHO states that periodontal disease affects almost 10% of the population worldwide. Meanwhile, the latest more specific data on periodontal disease from Riskesdes 2018 shows the prevalence of periodontitis at 74.1% in Indonesia. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition that occurs due to bacterial biofilms on the surface of the teeth, and is one of the main causes of tooth loss due to damage to periodontal tissue that cannot be healed. One of the things that often happens in daily life and has the potential to damage the gingival tissue is the use of toothpicks that are done roughly, too often, or not as recommended. The habit of using toothpicks to clean food residue between teeth is quite common. However, if a toothpick is used in the wrong way, especially one that has a rounded cross-section and does not fit the shape of the gums, it can cause mechanical injury to the gums. The purpose of the study was to determine the frequency of toothpick use affecting gingival health. The type of research uses quantitative descriptive, which is a type of research that uses directly reviewed field data to solve current problems. The research time is from June to July 2025. The research population was 100 people in Siduntung Hamlet. Sampling is known as sampling based on consideration. A sample of 30 respondents was taken, which was adjusted to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of a study in Siduntung Hamlet, Ongkoe Village, Belawa District, Wajo Regency show that the use of toothpicks has an impact on gingival health. The frequency of toothpick use is associated with the level of gingival inflammation, the more often it is used, the higher the risk of inflammation.

Abstract

Based on basic health research data (riskesdas) in 2018 released by the Ministry of Health, it was recorded that 57.6% of the Indonesian population experienced dental and oral health problems. However, only 10.2% of them received treatment from dental medical personnel. Anxiety is a feeling of fear that is not clearly defined which is accompanied by uncertainty, helplessness, isolation, and insecurity In this condition, emotions arise in the absence of a specific object being targeted. Anxiety is generally triggered by the unknown and often accompanies any new experience faced by the individual. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between age and anxiety levels at the time of tooth extraction. The design of this study is a type of analytical observational research that adopts a cross-sectional design. The researcher applied the sampling technique with the accidental sampling method. This research method is based on chance, where anyone who unexpectedly encounters a researcher can be sampled, provided that the individual is considered relevant as a data source. Research Results: The results of the chi-square statistical test of the relationship between age and the patient's anxiety level showed a p value of 0.000 because the p value < 0.05 then h0 was rejected and ha was accepted, which means that there is a significant relationship between age and the patient's anxiety level at the time of tooth extraction at RSU Cahaya Medika Makassar. Conclusion The study found a relationship between age and the level of anxiety of patients at the time of tooth extraction with moderate (low) anxiety levels of 11 respondents of 36%, while the level of severe anxiety of 3 respondents was 10% and the level of high anxiety was 53.3% of 16 respondents

Abstract

One of the most common dental and oral health problems in early childhood is dental caries. This can affect children's comfort, chewing ability, and quality of life. In addition, this situation can have an impact on their growth and development. The purpose of this study was to assess the dental health status and dmft index of children aged between 5 and 6 years at Saraswati III Kindergarten in Denpasar. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach involving 31 children (13 boys and 18 girls) in class B4 at Saraswati III Kindergarten. The examination was conducted directly on the primary teeth using the def-t recording format.The results showed that the average def-t index for boys was 3.46 (moderate category) and for girls was 2.78 (moderate category). In percentage terms, 18.9% of boys had caries in their primary teeth, while only 13.4% of girls did. The results of this study indicate that children at Saraswati III Kindergarten in Denpasar, especially those in class B4, still have a high incidence of dental caries, with a higher average def-t score among boys. These results indicate that better dental health education, proper tooth brushing habits, and regular dental check-ups in the school environment from preschool age are needed to reduce the incidence of caries and improve children's oral health.

Abstract

One of the important components of saliva that plays a role in the development of caries is the acidity level, or pH. Normal salivary pH ranges from 5.6–7.0, with an average of 6.7. If salivary pH is below normal, the oral environment becomes more acidic, supporting the growth of acidogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus, which contribute to caries formation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between salivary acidity (pH) and the number of caries in patients at Siloam Hospital Lippo Village Karawaci Tangerang. This study was an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The study population was all patients at the Dental Clinic of Siloam Hospital Lippo Village Karawaci Tangerang, with a sample of 30 individuals selected using purposive sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through observation (salivary pH and caries counts) and documentation. They were then processed and analyzed using the Kendall's tau-b test with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) using Microsoft Excel 2024 and IBM SPSS version 27. The results showed that patients' salivary pH tended to be alkaline with low caries counts, and there was a significant relationship between salivary pH and caries counts. Patients are advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and oral hygiene, medical personnel to strengthen education and regular check-ups, and researchers to integrate salivary pH testing as part of dental health screening.

Abstract

Oral and dental health is an essential component of overall health, playing a significant role in mastication, speech, and facial aesthetics. Maintaining oral hygiene is particularly important for orthodontic patients, as fixed appliances may increase the risk of plaque accumulation and oral health problems. This study aimed to determine the level of understanding of orthodontic appliance users regarding dental and oral health care among adolescent patients. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 30 adolescents aged 10–24 years a private clinic in Makassar, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through an online questionnaire with open-ended questions and analyzed using coding and thematic analysis. The results showed that most respondents had a good understanding of the risks associated with orthodontic treatment, including dental caries, gingivitis, calculus formation, and halitosis. Respondents also demonstrated appropriate oral hygiene behaviors, such as regular tooth brushing, use of additional cleaning aids (dental floss, interdental brush, mouthwash, and water flosser), and routine dental check-ups. However, several challenges were identified, including mechanical difficulties in cleaning teeth, discomfort or pain, and psychosocial barriers. Overall, the high level of understanding was influenced by effective education and communication provided by dental health professionals. It can be concluded that adolescents using orthodontic appliances have a high level of understanding, which contributes to better oral health care practices.

Abstract

Pulpitis is an inflammation of the dental pulp tissue that often causes pain and is one of the most common dental health problems found in the community. Eugenol is known to have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties that have the potential to be used as an initial therapy to reduce pain in pulpitis patients. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using eugenol as an analgesic in reducing pain in pulpitis patients at the Nuhrintama Outpatient Clinic. This study used a quantitative method with a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 34 respondents selected using an accidental sampling technique. Pain levels were measured using the Faces Pain Rating Scale before, after, and 7 days after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test because the data were not normally distributed. The results showed that before eugenol administration, most respondents experienced moderate pain (85.3%), then after eugenol administration, pain decreased with the majority of respondents in the mild pain category (58.8%) and 23.5% did not feel pain. After 7 days, 64.7% of respondents did not feel pain and only 5.9% still experienced moderate pain. The statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means there was a significant difference between the pain levels before and after eugenol administration. The conclusion of this study is that eugenol is effective as an analgesic in reducing pain in pulpitis patients at the Nuhrintama Pratama Clinic.
