"Latar Belakang: Self-perceived halitosis ditandai dengan bau tidak sedap yang timbul dari rongga mulut dan ditemukan penyebab utamanya berasal dari intraoral. Sehingga sangat penting bagi setiap individu untuk memelihara kesehatan mulutnya. Selain itu, walaupun etiologi utama dari faktor intraoral tersebut adalah tongue coating, namun prevalensi masyarakat yang membersihkan lidah setiap hari masih rendah. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitan ini akan lebih dikhususkan untuk membahas mengenai kebiasaan membersihkan lidah. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara kesehatan oral subjektif dengan self-perceived halitosis. Metode: Penelitian cross-sectional pada 298 remaja yang berusia 12-21 tahun yang berdomisili di DKI Jakarta dan merasa memiliki halitosis melalui kuisioner yang pengisiannya dilakukan secara daring menggunakan google form. Hasil : Penilaian subjektif penyakit dan kondisi rongga mulut yang terdiri dari gingivitis, mulut kering, dan tongue coating memiliki hubungan dengan self-perceived halitosis (p<0.05). Semakin besar responden yang merasa memiliki gingivitis, mulut kering, dan tongue coating di dalam rongga mulutnya, semakin tinggi nilai self-perceived halitosis. Faktor kesehatan oral subjektif lainnya yaitu penilaian subjektif karies dan kebiasaan menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang terdiri dari menyikat gigi, flossing, menggunakan obat kumur, dan membersihkan lidah tidak memiliki hubungan dengan self-perceived halitosis (p>0.05). Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara faktor penilaian subjektif penyakit dan kondisi rongga mulut yang terdiri dari gingivitis, mulut kering, dan tongue coating terhadap self-perceived halitosis pada remaja di DKI Jakarta.

Background: Self-perceived halitosis is characterized by an unpleasant odor arising from the oral cavity. It was found that the main cause of halitosis was from intraoral origin, so it is very important for each individual to maintain their oral health. In addition, although the main etiology of the intraoral factor is tongue coating, the prevalence of people cleaning their tongue every day is still low. Therefore, this research will be more devoted to discussing the habit of cleaning the tongue.

Objective: This study aims to identify the relationship between subjective oral health and self-perceived halitosis.

Methods: A-cross sectional study of 298 adolescents who live in DKI Jakarta and have a subjective halitosis through a questionnaire with a google form.

Results: Subjective assessment of oral diseases and conditions consisting of gingivitis, dry mouth, and tongue coating were associated with self-perceived halitosis (p <0.05). The greater the respondents who feel they have gingivitis, dry mouth, and tongue coating in their oral cavity, the higher the self-perceived halitosis value. Other subjective oral health factors, namely the subjective assessment of caries and oral hygiene habits which consisted of brushing, flossing, using mouthwash, and cleaning the tongue had no relationship with self-perceived halitosis (p> 0.05).

Conclusion: There is a relationship between the subjective assessment of oral diseases and conditions consisting of gingivitis, dry mouth, and tongue coating with self-perceived halitosis of adolescents who live in DKI Jakarta."

"ABSTRACTLatar Belakang: Kualitas kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang baik masih menjadi hal yang sulit didapatkan. Hal ini disebabkan kurangnya kesadaran dan perhatian masyarakat terhadap kesehatan rongga mulutnya sendiri -dalam hal ini lansia-, dan kurangnya kemampuan lansia untuk melaporkan status kesehatan gigi dan mulutnya. Intervensi DHE dibutuhkan guna menurunkan meningkatkan kesadaran, persepsi dan kemampuan lansia untuk mencegah masalah gigi dan mulut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat pengaruh DHE terhadap self-perceived oral health pada lansia Kota Depok. Metode: Metode penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuasi-eksperimental one-group pretest-post-test design dengan membandingkan self-perceived oral health sebelum dan sesudah diberikan intervensi DHE pada 195 lansia yang menjadi subjek penelitian. Penelitian dilakukan di Kecamatan Beji, Sukmajaya, dan Pancoran Mas. Hasil: Ketimpangan terlihat antara self-reported oral health dengan status klinis dari penilaian normatif dengan perbedaan persentase melebihi 50%. Self-perceived oral health setelah diberikan intervensi DHE mengalami peningkatan dilihat dari analisa uji komparatif menggunakan perhitungan Chi-Square dan uji Wilcoxon dengan batas perbedaan bermakna p<0,05. Kesimpulan: DHE berpengaruh dalam meningkatkan self-perceived oral health.

"Latar belakang: Di Indonesia prevalensi kehilangan gigi pada usia 35-44 tahun adalah 35,3% dan terus meningkat seiring bertambahnya usia. Kehilangan gigi dapat menyebabkan penurunan fungsi gigi dan mulut. Untuk mengembalikan fungsi gigi individu dapat menggunakan gigi tiruan, namun hanya 4% penduduk usia 35-44 tahun yang menggunakan gigi tiruan. Literasi kesehatan gigi dan mulut/Oral Health Literacy (OHL) didefinisikan sebagai kapasitas individu untuk memperoleh, memproses dan memahami informasi dasar kesehatan gigi, mulut dan kraniofasial serta pelayanannya yang diperlukan untuk membuat keputusan yang sesuai mengenai kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Oleh karena itu, mungkin saja nilai OHL memengaruhi persepsi kebutuhan individu. Akan tetapi, penelitian mengenai topik ini masih terbatas di Indonesia. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara nilai OHL dengan persepsi kehilangan gigi yang dilihat dari fungsi gigi dan perawatan kebutuhan gigi pada dewasa hingga lansia. Metode: Penelitian deskriptif potong lintang menggunakan kuesioner The Health Literacy in Dentistry HELD-29 versi Indonesia (skor 0-116) dan pertanyaan mengenai persepsi fungsi gigi serta kebutuhan perawatan prostodonsia. Populasi penelitian adalah orang dengan usia 17 tahun keatas yang sudah mengalami kehilangan gigi. Hasil: 205 responden berusia 17-82 tahun dan mayoritas perempuan (66,3%). Nilai OHL (82 ± 16,75) lebih tinggi pada kelompok dengan persepsi fungsi gigi sangat baik dan memilih tidak memerlukan perawatan prostodonsia. Terdapat hubungan bermakna (p<0,05) antara nilai OHL dengan persepsi fungsi gigi (r= 0,285), jumlah kehilangan gigi (r= -0,265), jumlah dukungan oklusal berdasarkan indeks Eichner(r= -0,262), dan lokasi kehilangan gigi (r= -0,233). Tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara nilai OHL dengan persepsi kebutuhan perawatan prostodonsia (r= 0,083, p>0,05). Terdapat perbedaan bermakna nilai OHL pada usia dan tingkat pendidikan individu (p<0,05). Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna nilai OHL berdasarkan jenis kelamin dan status ekonomi individu (p<0,05). terutama pada kelompok usia 17-29 tahun dengan ≥60 tahun (p= 0,006) dan kelompok usia 45-59 tahun dengan ≥60 tahun (p= 0,000) dan tingkat pendidikan SD dengan SMP (p= 0,002), SD dengan SMA (p= 0,000), dan SD dengan perguruan tinggi (p= 0,000). Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna nilai OHL berdasarkan jenis kelamin dan status ekonomi individu (p<0,05). Kesimpulan: Semakin tinggi nilai OHL, semakin baik penilaian persepsi fungsi gigi. Semakin rendah nilai OHL maka semakin banyak jumlah kehilangan gigi, berkurangnya zona dukungan oklusal, dan semakin banyak lokasi kehilangan gigi yang terlibat.

Background: Prevalence of tooth loss in Indonesia is 35.3% at 35-44 years old and continues to increase with age. Tooth loss can lead to decreased oral function. To restore the oral function, individuals with tooth loss can wear denture, but only 4% of the population aged 35-44 years old wears denture. Oral health literacy (OHL) is defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic dental, oral, and craniofacial health information and services needed to make appropriate oral health decisions. Therefore, low OHL score may be a cause of the low perceived need. Nonetheless, research concerning this issue is still limited in Indonesia.

Objective: To assess the correlation between OHL score and perception of tooth loss in adults to elderly.

Methods: Cross-sectional study was performed using The Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD)-29 Indonesian version (score 0-116) and questions about perception of dental function and perceived need for prosthodontics treatment. The population of this study were people aged 17 years old and over who had experienced tooth loss.

Results: There were 205 respondents with age range 17-82 years old and 66.3% of the respondents were female. The mean OHL score was 82. The OHL score was higher in the group of individuals who choose the higher perception of dental function and choose not to get Prosthodontics treatment. There is a significant correlation (p<0.05) between the OHL score and the perception of dental function (r= 0.285), number of tooth loss (r= -0.265), the number of occlusal support based on the Eichner index (r= -0.262), and the location of tooth loss (r= -0.233). There is no correlation between the OHL score and the perceived need for prosthodontics treatment (r= 0.083; p>0.05). There is a significant difference in the OHL score on age and educational level (p<0.05), especially in the aged 17-29 years old with ≥60 years old (p= 0.006) and the aged 45-59 years old with ≥60 years old (p= 0.000) and the level of education between elementary school with junior high school (p= 0.002), elementary school with senior high school (p= 0.000), and elementary school with higher level of education (p= 0.000). There is no significant difference in the OHL score on gender and individual economic status (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Higher OHL scores show better perception of dental function. Lower OHL scores are associated with higher tooth loss, loss of occlusal support zone, and more locations of tooth loss."
