Daftar Isi:
  • According to the Data and Information Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (2018), the prevalence of caries in Indonesia is 88.8%. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that 60-90% of school children worldwide experience caries, with the disease being most prevalent in children aged 6-12 years. Dental caries is a disease that can infect and damage tooth structure. One of the risk factors for caries is plaque accumulation, which is associated with poor oral hygiene. The Personal Hygiene Performance Modified (PHP-M) is a method used to measure plaque on mixed teeth. This research is a quasi-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a total of 27 samples meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study found a significant improvement in oral hygiene status after participants received an educational intervention using virtual reality video media. Specifically, there was a decrease in plaque scores after brushing teeth following the intervention compared to before. The statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference with a p-value of less than 0.05. The study found that the number of students with excellent oral hygiene status increased from 15 (40.5%) before the intervention to 36 (97.3%) after the intervention. These results suggest that the use of virtual reality video media is an effective method for improving oral hygiene.

  • Prevalensi karies di Indonesia menurut Pusat Data dan Informasi Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia (2018) adalah 88,8%. World Health Organization (WHO) melaporkan 60-90% anak sekolah di seluruh dunia mengalami karies, dengan penyakit yang paling banyak terjadi pada anak usia 6-12 tahun. Karies gigi merupakan penyakit yang dapat menginfeksi dan merusak struktur gigi. Faktor risiko karies adalah akumulasi plak yang berhubungan dengan Oral Hygiene yang buruk. Personal Hygiene Performance Modified (PHP-M) merupakan salah satu metode pengukuran plak yang digunakan untuk gigi campuran. Jenis penelitian ini adalah quasi eksperimen dengan rancangan one group pretest-posttest design. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive sampling dengan jumlah 27 sampel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan status Oral Hygiene setelah menyikat gigi sebelum intervensi dan sesudah intervens dengan adanya perbedaan skor plak setelah menyikat gigi sebelum dan sesudah diberikan intervensi berupa edukasi menggunakan media video Virtual Reality. Hasil uji wilcoxon menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan p<0.05. Jumlah siswa dengan status Oral Hygiene kategori sangat baik setelah intervensi sebanyak 36 siswa (97,3%) sedangkan sebelum intervensi sebanyak 15 siswa (40,5%). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah edukasi dengan menggunakan media video Virtual Reality efektif terhadap peningkatan status Oral Hygiene.
