Abstract : Background: In 12 years old children with disabilities, 30.2% had caries and in 15 years old children it increased by 2.3%.Limited handgrip motor skills in children with disabilities is 0.09% 1.5-3% have such limitations which the incidence is related to socioeconomic status. Therefore, 80-90% of children require assistive devices to facilitate their handgrip motor activities. Objective: To produce a feasible and effective elastomeric tooth brushing aid to improve tooth brushing skills and reduce debris index in children with disabilities. Methods: The study used quasi experimental (pre-post with control group design). The sampling technique was purposive sampling, consisting of 11 children in the intervention group with the application of elastomeric tooth brushing aids and 11 children in the control group with the application of conventional adult toothbrushes, with the length of treatment given 10 days. By making elastomeric tooth brushing aids manually combining elastomeric materials on conventional toothbrush handles. Results: The results of expert validation of elastomeric tooth brushing aids showed a p-value of 0.104 which means that this model is feasible as an effort to improve tooth brushing skills in children with disabilities. This model is effective in improving the teeth brushing skills of children with disabilities (p = 0.041) and reducing the debris index score of children with disabilities (p = 0.000) and reducing the debris index score of children with disabilities (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Elastomeric tooth brushing aids are feasible and effective in improving tooth brushing skills and reducing the debris index of children with disabilities.
