Abstract

Introduction: Oral health problems remain a major challenge in Indonesia, with a high prevalence of dental caries and poor maintenance behavior, especially among children and adolescents. Technological advancements have encouraged the use of mobile health applications as a potential educational tool to support oral health programs. This study aims to determine the role and effectiveness of mobile health apps in oral health programs. Methods: This study employed a rapid review method to evaluate the role and effectiveness of mobile health apps in promoting oral health. Article searches were conducted across four databases: PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, using Boolean operator strategies. Articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and screened using the PRISMA guidelines. A total of nine articles were selected for descriptive analysis. Results: All articles reported that mobile health apps functioned as interactive educational media used by children, adolescents, and parents. Three articles showed an increase in oral health knowledge, six articles reported changes in toothbrushing behavior, and four articles indicated a clinical reduction in dental plaque. The applications used showed significant effectiveness in influencing users' oral health behavior compared to conventional methods. Conclusion: mobile health apps play an important and proven role in supporting oral health programs. These applications have been shown to improve knowledge, enhance oral care behaviors, and clinically reduce dental plaque. The flexibility and ease of use of mobile health apps make them a viable alternative for promoting oral health, particularly in areas with limited access to healthcare services. These findings contribute scientifically to understanding the effectiveness of mobile health applications in increasing knowledge and changing oral health behaviors. Furthermore, such applications hold significant potential as educational tools for health practitioners to efficiently promote healthy lifestyles to the broader community.

Abstract

Introduction: Professionalism in dentistry, encompassing clinical competence, communication, and ethical practice, critically influences patient satisfaction and quality of care. Despite its importance, patient perceptions of dental students’ professionalism remain understudied in Indonesian teaching hospitals. This research aims to assess patient perceptions of the professionalism of dental co-assistants and dental residents at a university dental hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study administered questionnaires via Google Forms to 226 patients, including patients treated by co-assistants and residents. The questionnaire consisted of four indicators of professionalism in dentistry, namely excellence, humanism, accountability, and altruism; each indicator comprised five questions assessed using a Likert scale. The results were analyzed using univariate analysis. Results: A total of 226 patients participated in this study, including patients treated by co-assistants (n=111) and residents (n=115). Most participants were adults and predominantly female, with the majority having an undergraduate education. Patients received various dental treatments across multiple polyclinics, and most had visited the dental clinic three times or more. Patient perceptions of the professionalism of co-assistants were categorized as good (100%). Meanwhile, patient perceptions of the professionalism of residents showed an average of 1.7% in the deficient category, 1.55% in the sufficient category, and 96.75% in the good category. Conclusion: Patient perceptions of the professionalism of dental co-assistants and dental residents at the university dental hospital showed generally good scores. However, some aspects of the professionalism indicators require attention for further improvement.
