Abstract : One of the main causes of oral diseases is plaque. Dental plaque that is not cleaned can increase the risk of oral diseases such as caries and periodontitis. Plaque measurement with conventional methods such as the use of disclosing solutions has limitations, both in terms of effectiveness, patient comfort, and potential chemical risks. To increase the effectiveness and efficiency of measurement, a Smart Detector Score Plaque was developed that utilizes a camera, Ultraviolet (UV) sensor and supporting applications to calculate plaque scores. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with a post test only design with control group design. Sampling using purposive sampling technique, 30 patient respondents and 30 oral health worker respondents were obtained according to the inclusion criteria. The independent variable is the plaque score detector “Smart Detector Score Plaque” and the dependent variable is plaque score and quality of service. Feasibility test analysis using ICC and Wilcoxon statistical test to assess the effectiveness of the developed tool. The expert validation test of the “Smart Detector Score Plaque” tool obtained an average value of 91 very feasible categories with a p-value of 0.001. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the results of plaque measurement using disclosing and the “Smart Detector Score Plaque” tool seen from the p-value = 0.563. The quality of service has significantly improved (p-value = 0.000) with the use of the Smart Detector Score Plaque tool. The “Smart Detector Score Plaque” tool is feasible and effective to use to identify and calculate the plaque score index in order to improve the quality of oral health services.

Keywords : Smart Detector Score Plaque, Ultraviolet, Quality of Service.
