Abstract


Abstract: The rate of tooth decay in early childhood is still very high. Children need appropriate learning media to be able to improve their tooth brushing skills. Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of using IA teeth and mouth 3D printing learning media in improving the tooth brushing skills of children aged 5–6 years. Method: One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design Pre-Experiment. The total sampling of respondents from children aged 5–6 years was 34 people. The assessment instrument uses an observation sheet with 10 indicators. Data analysis used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov data normality test and the mean difference test with the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: There was an increase in the average tooth brushing skill after the intervention using IA teeth and mouth 3D printing learning media, especially regarding tooth brushing techniques. The average pretest  is 20.68, and posttest is 37.58. The results of the mean difference test showed a significant increase in skills (p = 0.000). Conclusions: IA teeth and mouth 3D printing learning media are effective in improving the tooth brushing skills of children aged 5–6 years. Impact: The effectiveness of IA teeth and mouth 3D printing learning media in facilitating the learning of tooth brushing skills is known.
