Abstract

Elementary school children are in a vulnerable age group and are prone to dental and oral health problems, many of which are linked to insufficient knowledge and inadequate hygiene practices. In Indonesia, around half of the 75 million children suffer from dental caries, and this number continues to rise each year. Problem statement : Based on preliminary data at SDN Bajang 01 in Talun District, Blitar Regency, a large proportion of upper-grade students demonstrated low levels of knowledge regarding dental caries. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge level of high-grade students before and after an educational intervention using the Dental Brains Android-based application. Method : The research used a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 37 upper-grade student respondents. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered before and after the intervention. The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to determine the significance of changes in knowledge. Scientific finding results : The findings showed that the p-value from the Wilcoxon test was 0.000, which is less than 0.01. This indicates a significant improvement in students’ knowledge about dental caries following the use of the Dental Brains application. Conclusion : The Dental Brains Android-based application served as an effective educational tool in delivering engaging and accessible information about dental health. The interactive features of the application helped to increase students’ attention and comprehension. These findings suggest that digital educational media like Dental Brains can play an important role in supporting oral health education among elementary school students
