The high number of dental and oral health problems is caused by lack of individual motivation to perform routine dental care, as seen from the number of people who receive treatment from the dentist is only 8.7%. Serious oral health problems can lead to a decrease in the quality of life as well as work and study activities of an individual. This study was aimed to analyze the relationship between dental treatment motivation and Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University. This was a descriptive and analytical study with a cross sectional design. Samples were choosen by using the cluster random sampling method. Data were analyzed by using the Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed that the students had high motivation for dental treatment. Moreover, the students had good OHRQoL conditions, with the worse score on the dimensions of psychological discomfort, physical disability, social disability, and physical pain. The Spearman’s rank correlation test obtained an r-value of 0.190 and a p-value of 0.020 for the relationship between dental treatment motivation and OHRQoL. In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between dental care motivation and OHRQoL in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University. The higher the dental treatment motivation, the better the quality of life is.Keywords: motivation; dental treatment; OHRQoL; quality of life; OHIP-14 Abstrak: Tingginya angka masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut disebabkan oleh kurangnya motivasi individu untuk melakukan perawatan gigi secara rutin yang terlihat dari jumlah penduduk yang menerima perawatan dari tenaga medis gigi hanya 8,7%.

Aseptic quality is a crucial aspect of successful dental care attainment. Various oral microbes can increase the chance of failure in dental treatment. Multiple efforts have been made to improve the aseptic quality. It is known that the antiseptics used were costly and has numerous side effects. Natural antiseptics such as liquid smoke may be a potential substitute. This research aimed to explore the potential of liquid smoke as an antiseptic in dentistry. A systematic literature search was conducted in the electronic database of PubMed/Medline, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using PRISMA guideline. A structured search using the Boolean string “liquid smoke AND antimicrobial AND antibacterial” was performed. Initially, 115 potential articles were discovered. After removal of duplicates and checking the availability of full-text read, eleven studies were included. Liquid smoke with 1.5-50% concentration can eliminate S. mutant, S. sanguis, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, L. acidophilus, L. salivarius, E. faecalis, P. gingivalis and C. albicans. It was also reported that it has a particular effectiveness for the disinfectant and wound healing. Liquid smoke can eliminate both oral bacterial and fungi. Further research should explore the safety aspects of utilizing liquid smoke in dental clinics.
Up to now, there are still residents of Indonesia who do not have legal documents supporting age information. Hence, proving the age of a person concerning some reasons becomes difficult. Third molar development could be used as an indicator to estimate the age in adolescents if legal documents are not available. This study was aimed to prove the difference in the development of third molars between individuals aged above and below 19 years using the third molar maturity index (I3M) method. Third molar development calculations were performed on 112 digital OPG photographs (71 females and 41 males) of patients aged 16- <24 years. Samples were divided into two age groups, namely <19 years and ≥19 years. We performed comparison tests to analyze the differences between groups and genders against I3M. The results showed significant differences between the development of third molars in individuals aged above and below 19 years according to I3M values. Meanwhile, there was no significant differences in I3M values between males and females. Males experienced faster third molar development than females in the age group <19 years. In conclusion, the I3M method can be used to differentiate the development of third molars in individuals aged above and below 19 years. Further research could be carried out by using a larger number of samples and setting a threshold of I3M for the age of 19 among Indonesian population.Keywords: dental age estimation, third molar, I3M method Abstrak: Pada saat ini, masih ada penduduk Indonesia yang tidak memiliki dokumen legal pendukung informasi usia sehingga terdapat kesulitan dalam membuktikan usia seseorang untuk berbagai kebutuhan. Pertumbuhan molar ketiga dapat digunakan sebagai indikator untuk melakukan estimasi usia pada remaja bila dokumen legal tidak tersedia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan perbedaan pertumbuhan molar ketiga pada individu berusia di atas dan di bawah 19 tahun dengan metode third molar maturity index (I3M). Perhitungan pertumbuhan molar ketiga dilakukan pada 112 foto OPG digital (71 wanita dan 41 pria) dari pasien berusia 16- <24 tahun. Sampel dibagi menjadi dua kelompok usia, yaitu <19 tahun dan ≥19 tahun. Uji beda dilakukan untuk menganalisis perbedaan antar kelompok dan jenis kelamin terhadap I3M. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan perbedaan bermakna antara pertumbuhan molar ketiga pada individu berusia di atas dan di bawah 19 tahun. Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada nilai I3M pada pria dan wanita. Pria ditemukan mengalami pertumbuhan molar ketiga yang lebih cepat dari wanita pada kelompok usia <19 tahun. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah metode I3M dapat digunakan untuk membedakan pertumbuhan molar ketiga pada individu berusia di atas dan di bawah 19 tahun. Disarankan penelitian lanjut dengan menggunakan jumlah sampel yang lebih besar dan dilakukan penetapan batas ambang I3M untuk usia 19 tahun pada populasi Indonesia.Kata kunci: estimasi usia dental, molar ketiga, metode I3M
Parents/caregivers are the most important actors in preventing dental caries since early childhood. Parents have a major role in introducing the importance of maintaining dental health in children. One of the methods that parents can use is by telling stories about dental health to children. Based on previous study showing high prevalence of dental caries among children in Semarang City, we would like to initiate a storytelling training program for parents of students studying at Komunitas Rubbik Indonesia, Semarang. The purpose of this community service program is to provide knowledge of storytelling techniques with children's story books with the theme of dental health. The method that will be used is the creation of dental health education storybooks for children aged 4-7 years and providing training on storytelling techniques for 25 parents of children in the Indonesian Rubbik community. The evaluation of this program shows that parents acknowledge satisfaction with the program and there is a significant difference in the results of pre-test and post-test for parents' knowledge regarding dental health. This activity was able to start the process of using storytelling techniques as a method of dental health education in children.
Background: Oral cancer is the sixth most common type of cancer with two out of three cases occurring in developing countries. As clinical dental students, knowledge and awareness about oral cancer should also be improved with the aim of helping them as future dentists to be more ready to act immediately in prevention phase and early diagnosis of oral cancer.Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and the level of awareness of dental students about oral cancer.Methods: An observational analytic study with a cross sectional study design. A total of 91 clinical dental students participated in this study. Oral cancer awareness and knowledge level were measured using a pre-validated questionnaire. Spearman’s rho correlation test was used to determine the association between oral cancer awareness and knowledge level of clinical dental students.Results: Out of 91 clinical dental students, 61 (67%) students got excellent-graded awareness and 57 (62,6%) students got good-graded knowledge. Spearman rho correlation test showed oral cancer awareness were significantly associated (p=0,007) with oral cancer knowledge level. Significant positive linear correlations (r=0,279) between oral cancer awareness and knowledge level were also observed from the study results.Conclusion: Clinical dental students’ oral cancer awareness and knowledge level are significantly associated.
