Knowledge is the result of knowing through sensing and knowledge obtained from the teaching and learning process. The method of learning while playing is an interesting thing for children. Through play, children can get information about new things. Games are used to create an atmosphere of learning from passive to active, and from bored to happy, one of which is by using monopoly games. Monopoly is an effective and efficient media which was developed by modifying the game of monopoly according to the available materials and the learning materials to be implemented. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the dental healthy creative monopoly game was effective in increasing oral health knowledge. The research method used was a one group pretest-posttest design. Respondents in this study amounted to 66 students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Insani Tateli Minahasa Regency. From the results of this study, it was stated that the score of knowledge about dental and oral health was more (61%) in the less good criteria, after being given a monopoly game, the knowledge increased to 100% on the good criteria. The results of statistical tests, stated that there was a significant difference before and after being given the dental healthy creative monopoly game (p=0.000). In conclusion, the dental healthy creative monopoly game is effective in increasing the knowledge of dental and oral health for elementary school students.

Dental caries have been a problem in childhood. Poor knowledge causes poor dental hygiene. Health promotion is urged to conduct to give children of school age an understanding of how important is dental hygiene. Tooth brushing is a way to prevent dental caries. We initiated tooth brushing education research with a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-posttest design. The sample was taken with purposive sampling with 66 students in SDN Kalase, SDN Butong, and SDN Tateli located in a working area of Tateli Public Health Service, Minahasa, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. We employed animated video and dental phantom as the media and compare their effectiveness. First, we performed a normality test, the data is found not normally distributed. Hence, the Wilcoxon test was used to analyze whether the difference in the data exists, and the Mann-Whitney test was conducted to know whether the difference is significant. From the mean value of the Mann-Whitney test results, the effective of the methods is obtained. The results show that the Mann-Whitney test obtained Asymp. Sig (2 tailed) value of 0.000, less than a probability value of 0.005. Thus, there is a significant difference in knowledge level increase. The result of Mean value of a group with animated video is 49.26, higher than the dental phantom media group with only 17.74. So, in conclusion, animated video media is more effective than dental phantom media in improving students' knowledge level of tooth brushing.

Penyebab timbulnya penyakit gigi dan mulut terutama karies gigi pada masyarakat  salah satunya yaitu faktor perilaku dan sikap mengabaikan kebersihan gigi dan mulut.. Pendidikan kesehatan gigi melalui pelatihan merupakan salah satu intervensi untuk merubah perilaku ibu dari tidak tahu menjadi tahu dan dari tidak sehat menjadi sehat guna mencapai derajad kesehatan gigi anak setinggi-tingginya. Tujuan : Untuk mengetahui efektifitas pelatihan tentang deteksi dini karies gigi menggunakan booklet dalam  meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu pada siswa SD di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Teling Atas Kota Manado. Metode : yaitu metode analitik true experiment (eksperimen sungguhan) dengan rancangan “One Group Pretest-Posttest”.Teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu Accidental sampling berjumlah 78 orang. Pengumpulan data  menggunakan kuesioner. Analisa data menggunakan uji paired samples T Test.   Hasil penelitian : responden sebelum diberikan pelatihan paling banyak memiliki pengetahuan cukup yaitu sebanyak 55 responden (71%) dan sesudah pelatihan pengetahuan responden meningkat menjadi baik sebanyak 78 responden (100%). Berdasarkan analisis data pengetahuan responden sebelum (Pre Test) pelatihan tentang deteksi dini karies gigi diperoleh nilai mean sebesar 17,47 dengan standar deviasi sebesar 2.577, dan sesudah (Post Test) diperoleh nilai mean sebesar 25,56, dengan standar deviasi sebesar 1.039 dan thitung sebesar -26.532 serta p= 0,000 < 0,05. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan pengetahuan responden sebelum dan sesudah diberikan pelatihan. Kesimpulan : terdapat perbedaan pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah pelatihan deteksi dini menggunakan media booklet yang berarti bahwa pelatihan tentang deteksi dini karies gigi menggunakan booklet sangat efektif dalam  meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu pada siswa SD di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Teling Atas Kota Manado.

Kesehatan gigi dan mulutsangatpentinguntukselaludijaga, salah satu cara mencegah terjadinya masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut dapat dilakukan dengan menyikat gigi. Frekuensidan waktumenyikatgigi yang baikyaitu 3 kali seharipagisetelahmakanpagi, siang setelah makan siang dan malam sebelum tidur. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh frekuensi menyikat gigi terhadap debris indeks pada siswakelas V di SD Kartika XXI-4 Kecamatan Paal Dua Kota Manado.  Jenis penelitian ini bersifat analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional study dengan menggunakan metode total sampling. Frekuensi menyikat gigi diukur menggunakan lembar check-list untuk mengetahui berapa kali responden menyikat gigi dalam sehari, dan debris indeks dilakukan pemeriksaan dengan menggunakan format pemeriksaan debris indeks. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh kemudian diolah menggunakan analisis uji correlations kendall’s tau. Hasil  analisis menggunakan uji correlations kendall’s tau didapatkan nilai sebesar -0,798 dengan kekuatan korelasi kuat dengan nilai psebesar 0,000 lebih kecil dari nilai ? = 0,05 sehingga terdapat nilai korelasi yang bermakna antara variabel frekuensi menyikat gigi dengan variabel debris indeks dengan arah  korelasi negatif (-) yang berarti semakin besar nilai frekuensi menyikat gigi maka semakin kecil nilai debris indeks. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh frekuensi menyikat gigi terhadap debris indeks.

Dental and oral health is very important to always be maintained, one way to prevent dental and oral health problems can be done by brushing teeth. A good frequency and time of brushing teeth is 3 times a day in the morning after breakfast, in the afternoon after lunch and at night before going to bed. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of tooth brushing frequency on the debris index in fifth grade students at SD Kartika XXI-4, Paal Dua District, Manado City. This type of research is analytic with a cross sectional study approach using the total sampling method. The frequency of brushing teeth was measured using a check-list sheet to find out how many times the respondent brushed his teeth in a day, and the debris index was examined using the debris index examination format. The research results obtained were then processed using the analysis of the Kendall's tau correlations test. The results of the analysis using the kendall's tau correlation test obtained a value of -0.798 with a strong correlation strength with a p value of 0.000 smaller than the value of = 0.05 so that there is a significant correlation value between the variable frequency of brushing teeth and the debris index variable with a negative correlation direction (- ) which means that the greater the frequency of brushing the teeth, the smaller the value of the debris index. So it can be concluded that there is an effect of tooth brushing frequency on the debris index.
