Methods: This type of research uses experimental research similar to a quasi-experimental design by designing a two-group pre-posttest design, measuring instrument facial image scale data analysis using a paired sample t-test statistical test. Results: statistical test using Paired Sample T-test obtained p-value for the level of anxiety with the provision of instrumental music therapy that is 0.021 (sig &lt;0.05), for the level of anxiety with the provision of murottal al-qur'an is 0.000 (sig &lt;0.05) of the tworesults have a sig value of 0.021 (sig &lt;0.05) and a sig value of 0.000 (sig &lt;0.05), Conclusion: there is an effect of instrumental music therapy and murottal Al-Qur'an on anxiety levels during dental examinations of children in Kindergarten Plus An -Nur, Cilawu District, Garut Regency.</p> Restu Rizky Anugrah, Aan Kusmana, Culia Rahayu Copyright (c) 2023 The Incisor (Indonesian Journal of Care's in Oral Health) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://theincisor.id/index.php/theincisor/article/view/40 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 RISK FACTOR SIMULATOR MODEL AFFECTING TODDLER DENTAL AND ORAL HEALTH https://theincisor.id/index.php/theincisor/article/view/67 <p>The period five years in the child's development stage is the golden age, which is a golden period in the period of child growth and development. During this period, everything that is poured out and absorbed by the child will become a basis and a sharp memory for the child. Matters related to dental health, if during this golden age children have formed memories, behaviors, habits and attitudes about how to care for teeth and mouth, then this attitude of life will be carried over later in adulthood, so that knowledge about how to live a clean and healthy life, including maintaining health Teeth need to be implanted in infancy. The purpose of this study was to design a risk factor simulator model that affects the oral and dental health of toddlers. This research method uses research and development methods (Research and Development (RnD)). Product trials were carried out on kindergarten children with a total of 20 children. Knowledge after the intervention was carried out on students who got 16 (80%) students with good criteria. The trial use was carried out to parents of kindergarten children with a total of 20 respondents. Knowledge after the intervention on parents of students found 18 (90%) of students' parents had good criteria. The results of statistical tests using Wilcoxon to determine the significance of changes in the pre-post knowledge variable obtained sig values ​​of 0.000 and Z -3.742 which can be interpreted as meaningful results. The risk factor simulator model that affects oral and dental health in toddlers is effective in increasing the knowledge of preschool children (TK) and their parents.</p> Muhammad Fiqih Sabilillah, Nia Daniati Copyright (c) 2023 The Incisor (Indonesian Journal of Care's in Oral Health) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://theincisor.id/index.php/theincisor/article/view/67 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 PARENTAL MOTIVATION IN THE MAINTENANCE OF DENTAL AND ORAL HEALTH WITH THE INCIDENCE OF CARIES IN CHILDREN AGED 6-12 YEARS https://theincisor.id/index.php/theincisor/article/view/63 <p>Background: Children are the most vulnerable group to dental and oral health problems. The cause is that children's dietary habits towards high cariogenic foods and awareness about maintaining good and correct oral health are still lacking. Meanwhile, parents, especially mothers, are less concerned about the habit of taking care of children's teeth. The habit of children not taking care of teeth is due to the lack of motivation of mothers in children to do dental prevention, this habit can cause children to experience dental caries and the impact will be very large if dental prevention is not carried out early on in children.Purpose: to find out "the relationship between parental motivation in dental and oral prevention with the incidence of caries in children aged 6-12 years at SDN Sukawening 1 Sukawening District, Garut Regency". Method: Correlative descriptive research method with the research design used is cross sectional, the number of samples is 117 people, using the slovin formula. The measuring instruments used are questionnaires and DMF-T and def-t indices.Results: The results of the statistical test obtained a significance of 0.000 while the conditions for the hypothesis were accepted, namely &lt; 0.05, so it can be concluded that there is a relationship between parental motivation in preventing children's dental and oral health with the incidence of caries in children aged 6-12 years at SDN Sukawening 1 Sukawening Garut Distric. Conclusion: There is a relationship between parental motivation and teeth in students in grades 1-6 of SDN 1 Sukawening, Garut district. This is shown as a result of P value=0.000.</p> Ade Neli, Lina Rismayani Copyright (c) 2023 The Incisor (Indonesian Journal of Care's in Oral Health) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://theincisor.id/index.php/theincisor/article/view/63 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION TO DENTAL ANXIETY OF CHILDREN AGED 6-12 YEARS https://theincisor.id/index.php/theincisor/article/view/65 <p>Background: Children's dental and oral health is very important during the child's growth period.

This disorder is also coupled with the difficulty of the child being able to maintain healthy oral teeth independently and the inactivity of the oral muscles to get good natural cleaning of the teeth. Efforts to realize this healthy paradigm are carried out through a family approach and a healthy living community movement involving parents, especially in the parenting style of mentally retarded children. The aim of the study: to determine the relationship between parenting style and the level of dental and oral hygiene in children with mild mental retardation at SLB Tunas Indonesia, Cibitung District, Bekasi Regency. Methods: research with a cross-sectional design, a population of 60 people, consisting of parents and children with mild mental retardation at SLB Tunas Indonesia, taking samples using the total sampling method. Data were collected by examining oral and dental hygiene in children with mild mental retardation and filling out questionnaires by parents. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank statistical test. Results: the results show that the parenting style of parents of mildly mentally retarded children is mostly democratic parenting (70%), dental and oral hygiene (OHI-S) of mildly mentally retarded children is mostly with good criteria (66.7%), and there is a relationship between parenting style and the level of dental and oral hygiene in children with mild mental retardation (ρ value = 0.000 &lt; α : 0.05). Conclusion: in this study it can be concluded that there is a relationship between parenting style and the level of dental and oral hygiene in children with mild mental retardation at SLB Tunas Indonesia, Cibitung District, Bekasi Regency. It is recommended for SLB Tunas Indonesia to provide health education about dental and oral hygiene to parents and mentally retarded children outside of study hours and practice directly, for example how to clean teeth and mouth properly and correctly.</p> Erma Vidya Sutono, Rudi Triyanto, Eliati Sri Suharja Copyright (c) 2023 The Incisor (Indonesian Journal of Care's in Oral Health) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://theincisor.id/index.php/theincisor/article/view/78 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES OF HEALTH WORKERS WITH THE USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) https://theincisor.id/index.php/theincisor/article/view/79 <p>Background: The use of personal protective equipment is an effort to create occupational safety and health for health workers in puskesmas.
