Background: Dental and oral health problems
in mentally retarded children are higher than normal
children. The problem experienced by mentally retarded
children is the difficulty in carrying out independent
activities in the behavior of maintaining dental and oral
health. To overcome this problem, media aids are used to
improve tooth brushing behavior in mentally retarded
children, namely TR'S dental media pop-up is a form in
which there are procedures for brushing teeth that are
good and right. Purpose: Producing TRS Dental Pop-up
media as a learning media to improve teeth brushing
behavior of mentally retarded children. Method: Research
and development (R&D) and product/model trials (Study
true experiment test with cintrol group design). The
subjects of this study were 15 intervention groups with the
application of the TR'S Dental Pop-up educational model
and 15 control groups with the application of the 3D boo
pop-up educational model without audio. Sampling using
the Lemeshow formula. Data were tested using the Paired
test and independent sample test. Results: TR'S Dental
Pop-up is appropriate as a learning media about brushing
teeth. The implementation of this media is effective in
increasing teacher knowledge (Δ) intervention 2.67 control
1.66, teacher attitude (Δ) intervention 3 control 1.67,
teacher action (Δ) intervention 4 control 3, children's
actions (Δ) intervention 5.8 control 3.8, intervention debris
(Δ) 0.97 control 0.86. Conclusion: 3D pop-up book audio
educational model is effective as a learning medium to
