“…Hal ini disebakan oleh erupsi gigi perempuan lebih cepat sehingga lebih lama terpapar dengan faktor risiko penyebab karies serta adanya fluktuasi hormon yang memengaruhi laju aliran saliva dan pH saliva lebih rendah seperti saat memasuki siklus menstruasi, selama kehamilan dan menopause sehingga membuat perempuan lebih rentan terhadap karies. 16,17 Faktor ekonomi dapat memengaruhi dalam melakukan upaya pengobatan, terdapat prioritas utama mahasiswa profesi dokter gigi yaitu menyelesaikan pendidikan. Berbeda dengan PTI pada mahasiswa laki-laki menunjukkan sembilan orang (12,5%) masuk dalam kategori baik sedangkan tujuh orang (9,7%) masuk dalam kategori buruk.…”

Dental filling is a treatment to repair tooth decay to restore its previous shape and function. The indicator of the success of fixed tooth filling is by comparing the number of caries fixed teeth that have been filled with caries experience (DMF-T). Performed treatment index (PTI) is an index that shows the percentage of the number of fixed teeth that have been filled against DMF-T. This PTI describes the motivation of a person to fill cavities to maintain permanent teeth. This study aimed to determine the description of PTI in PSPDG professional students at RSGM Universitas Sam Ratulangi. This was a descriptive study using a cross-sectional research design. Samples were selected using purposive sampling method as many as 71 respondents. The research instruments used were documentation and questionnaires. Data were processed descriptively and then presented in the form of frequency distribution in tabular form. The results showed that PTI in professional students was in the good category (44%) and in the bad category (56%). In conclusion, there were more professional students who pay less attention to their oral health, namely to maintain permanent teeth with caries by carrying out fillings. Keywords: performed treatment index (PTI); Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMF-T); professional dentistry students Abstrak: Penumpatan yaitu suatu tindakan perawatan untuk memperbaiki kerusakan gigi agar bisa kembali pada bentuk semula dan berfungsi dengan baik. Indikator keberhasilan penumpatan gigi permanen ialah dengan membandingkan jumlah gigi permanen karies yang telah ditumpat dengan pengalaman karies (DMF-T). Performed treatment index (PTI) adalah indeks yang menunjukkan persentase jumlah gigi permanen yang telah dilakukan penumpatan terhadap DMF-T. PTI menggambarkan motivasi seseorang untuk menumpat gigi berlubang dalam upaya mempertahankan gigi permanen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran PTI pada mahasiswa profesi PSPDG di RSGM Unsrat. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang. Sampel penelitian dipilih dengan metode purposive sampling sebanyak 71 responden. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan yaitu dokumentasi dan kuesioner. Data diolah secara deskriptif kemudian disajikan dalam bentuk distribusi frekuensi dalam bentuk tabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan PTI pada mahasiswa profesi dengan kategori baik sebanyak 44% dan kategori buruk sebanyak 56%. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah saat ini masih lebih banyak mahasiswa profesi yang kurang memperhatikan kesehatan gigi dan mulutnya dalam upaya mempertahankan gigi permanen yang mengalami karies dengan melakukan penumpatan. Kata kunci: performed treatment index (PTI); Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMF-T)); mahasiswa profesi kedokteran gigi

AIM. To conduct a literature review and establish the relationship between gender stereotypes and dental health saving among students and to conduct our own analysis among higher education institutions such as: RUDN, RNIMU, MIREA.MATERIALS AND METHODS. A systematic literature review in the electronic databases of Google Scholar and Pubmed was conducted. Articles with content based on identifying the role of gender on oral health among 18–25-year-olds were reviewed. Sixty articles were reviewed, of which 10 from Pubmed and 50 from Google Scholar were selected. After selecting articles according to criteria, the total number of studies was 30. In addition, we conducted our own analysis among universities such as: RUDN, MIREA, RNIMU. 66 people (48 girls and 18 men) participated in the survey.RESULTS. We established the relationship between gender stereotypes and saving dental health, but we do not exclude that the level of oral health among students is individual and depends only partly on gender.CONCLUSION. It is possible to note the influence of gender stereotypes regarding saving dental health. Girls are more careful about the state of oral cavity and health in general. This conclusion is based on the increased frequency of visits to the dentist for preventive examinations. The male part of the population, due to lack of knowledge in the field of prevention, improperly care for their oral cavity, this is expressed in the wrong brush, its coarser use and lack of instructions for daily brushing. The attitude of men towards the dentist plays an important role. Due to lack of habit and less awareness of health issues, they are more likely to be exposed to discomfort and stress during the appointment than girls. In conclusion, we would like to say that gender stereotypes have a place, but still the level of dental health among students is individualized and only partly depends on gender.

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the oral health conditions of pregnant women. The analysis involves evaluating two key indices: the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index and the basic erosive wear examination (BEWE) index. Furthermore, this study investigated potential correlations between calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) levels within specific time intervals and the aforementioned oral health indices. Materials and methods: This study included 66 women. The examination consisted of assessing the condition of the teeth by using the DMFT index. Additionally, the erosive decay of the teeth was evaluated according to the BEWE index. Salivary concentrations of Ca and P were determined using a colorimetric method. These measurements were performed during the first (T1) and third (T3) trimesters of pregnancy. Results: The study results showed that the DMFT index value in T3 was significantly higher compared to that in T1. However, there were no significant differences in BEWE index values between the two time intervals. Furthermore, notable differences were observed in the levels of Ca and P between T1 and T3 (Z=4.87, p=0.000 and Z=2.95, p=0.003, respectively). Nevertheless, the analysis of the relationship between DMFT/BEWE indices and Ca and P levels found no significant correlation. Conclusions: The results suggest that the third trimester poses a greater oral health burden. Additionally, there were notable fluctuations in the Ca and P levels during pregnancy. These findings shed light on the correlation between pregnancy phases and oral health indicators, emphasizing the significance of the salivary composition.
