“…Furthermore, basic dental services by a general dentist are included in universal health coverage [24]. Despite this, dental healthcare utilization is still relatively low, and children still have poor oral health [42]. Currently, patients seek dental care for pain rather than using it as a regular preventive measure [43].…”

Background: Indonesia has the largest population of all countries in southeast Asia. However, little information is available on the oral health status of Indonesian children. The aims of this study were to assess dental caries and erosive tooth wear in 12-year-old children in Jakarta, Indonesia and to investigate the associated risk factors. Methods: Samples were selected using cluster sampling. Parents were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire regarding their oral health knowledge, demographic information, their child’s dietary habits, and oral health-related behaviors. Experience of caries and erosive tooth wear were recorded using the Decayed, Missing (due to caries), and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index, respectively. Results: Of 779 children invited, 696 participated in the survey. Of these, 61% had experienced caries, and the mean DMFT score was 1.58. Almost all decay was untreated. Children who were female, who had a high frequency of soft drink intake, and whose father’s educational level was low were more likely to have dental caries. Most children had at least one lesion of erosive tooth wear. Children whose mother’s educational level was low were more likely to have erosive tooth wear. Conclusions: The prevalence of dental caries and erosive tooth wear was high in 12-year-old children in Jakarta. Their dietary habits and parental level of education were associated with the presence of these dental conditions.

“…Gingivitis is a periodontal condition that is a local response developed from dental plaque, whose clinical signs include gingival bleeding. Poor oral hygiene and behavior will impact on gingival status (Rosalien et al, 2018). Therefore, improvement in oral health conditions is a key imperative which also requires valid measurement to diagnose and identify the diseases.…”

A few studies have revealed the self-perceived gingival status using questionnaires among children. Perceived health is a crucial factor that has an impact on quality of life. The objective of the study was to assess self-perceived and clinically diagnosed gingival status among children in Indonesia. This was a cross-sectional study of 494 schoolchildren (aged 12–15 years). Periodontal status was recorded using the gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) based on the World Health Organization standards. Data were collected through a brief visual, non-invasive clinical oral examination and a self-administered questionnaire. The sensitivity and specificity of self-perceived assessment were calculated using normative assessment as the gold standard. This study showed that self-perceived need for dental treatment showed the highest sensitivity (86% using PI and 85% using GI) and self-perceived swollen gums showed the highest specificity (89% using PI and 88% using GI) for clinically diagnosed plaque (PI cut-off value: 0.74) and gingival problems (GI cut-off value: 0.51). In conclusion, both self-perceived variables showed significant discordance between their respective sensitivity and specificity. Self-perceived information is at a higher-level unawareness that does not reflect the current gingival status. Thus, public health strategies are needed to improve the awareness of better oral health among children by promoting, empowering, and advocating.

“…World Health Organisations (WHO) has initiated dental health promotion programs in schools to increase knowledge and awareness of the importance of maintaining dental health in schools (WHO/World Health Organization, 2013) because WHO estimates that 2 billion people are suffering from caries in permanent teeth and 514 million children suffering from caries in primary teeth. A study conducted on 12-year-old students in Jakarta, Indonesia stated that only 3% of the study subjects had healthy gums while the rest suffered from gingivitis and had calculus (Rosalien et al, 2018).…”

Introduction. The World Health Organization (2014) states that globally, there are 2 billion individuals suffering from caries in permanent teeth and 514 million children suffering from caries in primary teeth. Basic Health Research (2018) states that the prevalence of caries in Indonesia is more than 80%. Furthermore, the initial examination of the state of dental health in students of SDN No.44 Lubuk Minturun showed unsatisfactory numbers, so it is necessary to make preventive efforts from an early age to improve the dental health status of the students. Objective. The purpose of this paper is to determine changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior to maintain oral hygiene after dental health counseling for elementary school students 44 in Lubuk Minturun, West Sumatra. Methods. Data from 105 students regarding knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of maintaining dental health before and after counseling were obtained from questionnaires filled out by students. The sampling technique of this study was total sampling, while the inclusion criteria of the subjects were students aged 9-12 years, filling out the questionnaire completely and being cooperative. The descriptive-analytic study was conducted with the Wilcoxon sign rank. Results. There was a significant difference in the change of knowledge, attitude, and behavior in children of SDN 44 Lubuk Minturun (p<0.005) with the Wilcoxon test. Conclusion. Promotive activities of dental health counseling can improve knowledge, attitudes, and behavior in maintaining dental health
