Abstract :
Background: Oral hygiene is still a major
problem for the elderly. Riskesdas in 2018 stated that
dental problems in the 55-64 age group increased by
48.5% and those aged 65 and over by 38.6%. The
government's efforts to realize dental and oral health
services are regulated in Kepmenkes No. 58 of 2012 and
its implementation is regulated in Kepmenkes No. 284 of
2006 but the implementation of dental and oral health
care for the elderly with dementia has not yet been
specifically implemented, so an innovative model of
developing oral health care is needed that is designed
according to the needs of the elderly with dementia in
performing oral hygiene. independently. Research
Objectives: a model of dental and oral health care for the
elderly with dementia that is feasible and effective in
reducing the debris index score in the implementation of
oral hygiene for the elderly with dementia. Methods:
Research and development (R&D) with a quasiexperimental method of pre-test and post-test with
control group design. The research subjects were divided
into 2 groups, namely 16 intervention groups and 16
control groups. The research instrument used a
questionnaire and an observation sheet, with DI as the
variable. The statistical test used the Intraclass
correlation coefficient for expert validation, and the
dependent variable used the Man Whitney, Wilcosxon,
Paired and Independent sample test. Result : Dental and
oral health care for elderly with dementia is relevant in
lowering the Debris Index score (p=<0.001) compared to
the control group. Conclusion: The development of a
model of dental and oral health care for the elderly with
dementia is feasible and its application is effective for the
implementation of oral hygiene in the elderly compared
to the control group.
