Abstract

Oral health in Indonesia remains a significant problem, with 57.6% of the population experiencing problems but only 10.2% accessing treatment. Dental calculus is one of the main etiologies of periodontal disease. Therefore, healthcare professionals require a rapid and standardized screening tool to efficiently identify high-risk patients. This study aims to report the development process and trial results of the "Calrisk Dentistry" application, a clinical decision support system for detecting risk levels and identifying the main causative factors of calculus. This study used a cross-sectional design to conduct a trial of the system on 60 respondents. The trial was conducted on 60 patients, where the data collection process was facilitated by dental hygiene students. Data were collected using the "Calrisk Dentistry" application that analyzes 13 risk variables to generate a risk score. The application successfully classified respondents into four risk categories: Low (15%), Moderate (40%), High (31.7%), and Very High (13.3%). The risk factors with the highest impact identified by the system were inappropriate brushing time, one-sided chewing, and the presence of caries. The trial results indicate that the developed "Calrisk Dentistry" application is a functional and effective tool for calculus risk screening. This system has the potential to become a technological tool to increase patient awareness and facilitate early prevention.

Abstract

Dental and oral disease is a disease that affects all age groups, both in children and adults, including the elderly. One of the health problems in the elderly is dental caries and periodontal disease. Dental and oral disease is a problem in Indonesia based on the 2004 Household Health Survey (SKRT), the prevalence rate of dental caries in Indonesia reached 90.05%. In a study, it was stated that periodontal disease can increase the risk of stroke by more than 50% at the age of 25-54 years, this is because bacteria in periodontal disease enter the blood vessels and follow the flow of capillaries to the brain. Other studies show that 95% of people over 65 years old have periodontal disease, and 70% of elderly people need periodontal care [1]. Efforts are made to overcome the problem of dental and oral diseases in the elderly by approaching health workers and dentists about the importance of dental and oral health. This can also be done by the formation of dental and oral health cadres who play a role in monitoring the dental health of the elderly in the activities of the elderly Posyandu [2]. Padangsari Village, Banyumanik District has an Elderly Posyandu which every month routinely carries out Elderly Posyandu activities with activities including routine general health checks, including blood pressure checks, uric acid checks, blood sugar checks, but for dental health, especially periondontal tissue, routinely has not been carried out. Dental examinations need to be done regularly in the elderly because one of the symptoms that arise in degenerative diseases can be monitored through the oral cavity. The general purpose of this study is to detect diseases that can manifest through the oral cavity through examinations, education in improving dental health maintenance and providing care needs to the elderly group in Padangsari Banyumanik Village, Semarang City. The results showed that, based on the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test on calculus scores before and after treatment in the elderly (N = 60), the values of Z = –6,751 and p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) were obtained. These results show that there is a very significant difference between the score before and after treatment. All respondents experienced a decrease in calculus scores after treatment, which indicated a positive effect of the intervention given.
