Green betel leaves contain essential oils consisting of phenol and its derivatives, including betlephenol, estragol, kavikol, eugenol, and diastene enzymes. Betel leaf infusion is able to inhibit the growth of bacteria caused plaque. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of steeping betel leaves on plaque index in children aged 12-15 years old in coastal village of Southeast Regency. This is a quasi-experimental one group pre-post test research. The variable measured was dental hygiene using the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) plaque index. The treatment given to research subjects was giving steeping water and then gargled for 60 seconds. After that, the plaque index was measured. The data obtained were tabulated and presented in tabular form and tested using paired t-test. The results showed that the plaque index before gargling betel leaf stew was mostly in the bad criteria (60%). Furthermore, after gargling betel leaf decoction, the most plaque index was in the medium category (64%). The results of the paired-t test obtained a p value of 0.000 (p <0.05). This value indicates that there is a difference in the plaque index before and after being given treatment, which means that there is an effect of giving betel leaf infusion on the plaque index.

Dental caries have been a problem in childhood. Poor knowledge causes poor dental hygiene. Health promotion is urged to conduct to give children of school age an understanding of how important is dental hygiene. Tooth brushing is a way to prevent dental caries. We initiated tooth brushing education research with a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-posttest design. The sample was taken with purposive sampling with 66 students in SDN Kalase, SDN Butong, and SDN Tateli located in a working area of Tateli Public Health Service, Minahasa, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. We employed animated video and dental phantom as the media and compare their effectiveness. First, we performed a normality test, the data is found not normally distributed. Hence, the Wilcoxon test was used to analyze whether the difference in the data exists, and the Mann-Whitney test was conducted to know whether the difference is significant. From the mean value of the Mann-Whitney test results, the effective of the methods is obtained. The results show that the Mann-Whitney test obtained Asymp. Sig (2 tailed) value of 0.000, less than a probability value of 0.005. Thus, there is a significant difference in knowledge level increase. The result of Mean value of a group with animated video is 49.26, higher than the dental phantom media group with only 17.74. So, in conclusion, animated video media is more effective than dental phantom media in improving students' knowledge level of tooth brushing
