Abstract

Oral Health Program for School Children (UKGS Program) has been implemented by Community Health Center since 1951 but the result isn't satisfied yet. National research on Health 2013 has found that the dental caries prevalence among children in Indonesia has increased by 13, 7%. Due to this condition, Dental Nurse Department (JKG) Poltekkes Semarang had tried to implement independent UKGS Program in a school.

This study was quantitative descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The population was from SD Padangsari 01 handled by Padangsari Community Health Center and-for further-called as Dependent UKGS Program and SD Antonius 02 handled by JKG and called as Independent UKGS Program. The samples were 46 students which were 8–12 years old. Each school was observed about their facilities and UKGS services and the samples were reviewed about their caries status, oral hygiene, and saliva condition. The data would be analyzed statistically and presented in the tabulation.

There was a significant difference between the facilities and services of dependent and independent UKGS Program (p-value: 0.000). In the independent group, there was no poor oral hygiene and the caries status was low to moderate (91.30%-100%). But in the dependent group, there was no good oral hygiene and the caries status was low to high (34.78%-43.48%). The saliva condition of the independent group was better than on the dependent group.

The effect of implementation of independent UKGS Program handled by JKG was more satisfied than dependent one handled by Padangsari Community Health Service.
