PERBANDINGAN PENURUNAN INDEKS PLAK ANTARA SIKAT GIGI MANUAL DAN ELEKTRIK PADA ANAK TUNANETRA

Background: Oral health in visually impaired children required special attention because visual limitations could affect their ability to maintain oral hygiene independently, increasing the risk of plaque accumulation and oral diseases. The selection of toothbrush type and proper brushing technique were important factors in controlling plaque in these manual and sonic electric toothbrushes in visually impaired children at SLB-A PRPCN Palembang. Methods : This study was a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest–posttest two-group design. The sample consisted of 26 visually impaired children selected using total sampling and randomly assigned to two groups: manual toothbrush and sonic electric toothbrush. All participants received education on toothbrushing using the Fones method. Plaque index was measured before and after intervention using the Turesky-Gilmore-Glickman modification of Quigley-Hein Plaque Index. Data were analyzed using an Independent Samples t-test. Results : The mean plaque index reduction in the sonic electric toothbrush group was greater than in the manual toothbrush group; however, the difference was not statistically significant p = 0.164 (p > 0.05). Conclusion : Both manual and sonic electric toothbrushes were effective in reducing plaque in visually impaired children when proper brushing techniques were applied.
