Introduction: Knowledge is the domain of behaviour. A person's good oral health behaviour must meet the elements of good oral health knowledge. Lack of oral health knowledge is one of the causes of oral dental disease. The most common oral dental disease, particularly in elementary school, is dental caries. One of the efforts to improve oral health knowledge is to be obtained from health promotion. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to many online health promotion media. One of the health promotion media is an Android-based oral health application. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the application of oral health on knowledge of oral health in elementary school children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Using an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. The research instrument is a questionnaire via google form and the HI BOGI application. Analysis of the data used is the Wilcoxon test. Results: The study was conducted on 143 elementary school students in Cimahi City. 55.2% are female, and 36.4% are 12 years old. The level of knowledge of oral health before downloading the HI BOGI application was in the moderate category and became good after downloading the application. There was a significant value of knowledge before and after downloading the HI BOGI application with a significant value p<0,0000. Conclusion: There is an effect of HI BOGI to increase oral health knowledge in elementary school children.

Abstract Background Despite the fact that there are parents who do not take children with untreated dental caries to a dental clinic, few studies have been conducted to identify the responsible underlying social and family factors. The aim of this study was to investigate whether socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors are associated with dental neglect in elementary school children. Methods This study was conducted in 2016 with 1655 children from the Super Shokuiku School Project in Toyama. Using Breslow’s seven health behaviors, the survey assessed: the grade, sex, and lifestyle of the children; parental internet and game use and lifestyle; socioeconomic status. The odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for having untreated dental caries were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Results Among the children participating, 152 (3.2%) had untreated dental caries. Among them, 53 (34.9%) had not been taken to a dental clinic despite the school dentist’s advice. Dental neglect was significantly associated with children in higher grades (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.14–3.78), father’s Internet and game use ≥ 2 h/day (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.02–3.88), not being affluent (OR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.14–6.81), and non-engagement in afterschool activities (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.10–3.62). Conclusions Socioeconomic status was the strongest factor associated with dental neglect despite the fact that the children’s medical expenses are paid in full by the National Health Insurance in Toyama, Japan. Future studies should investigate what factors prevent parents of non-affluent families from taking their children to dental clinics and how they can be socially supported to access adequate medical care.
