Abstract: Basic Health Research of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia showed that 93% of Indonesian children experience dental caries. Dental health education (DHE) is the provision of information in the form of a comprehensive understanding of dental and oral health and the determinants that affect individuals and communities. Giving DHE to children must be done in an appropriate and effective way. This study was aimed to to determine the effectiveness of DHE using audio-visual media to elementary school students. This was a literature review study using the PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Clinical Key databases. Then the literatures were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and a critical appraisal was carried out to obtain relevant and worthy literatures. After going through the study selection, nine literatures were accepted. All literatures showed an increase in students' knowledge about dental and oral health after the DHE using audio-visual media. In conclusion, elementary school students' knowledge about dental and oral health increased significantly after DHE using audio-visual media.Keywords: dental health education (DHE); audio visual media; elementary school’s students Abstrak: Hasil Riskesdas Kementrian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia menunjukkan 93% anak Indonesia mengalami karies gigi.

BACKGROUND: Overall body health is influenced a lot by teeth and mouth. Dental health education in schools through total quality management (TQM) is a non-formal education system for school communities by learning by doing to change their behavior from being less profitable to be beneficial for their oral health. AIM: This study aims to analyze the effect of dental health education with a TQM approach on the behavior of dental and oral health management, and the status of the oral hygiene index simplified (OHIS) in elementary school students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The design of that project was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-post-test design with a control group design. The number of study population was 80 children that were selected. The sample was divided into two groups, the intervention group consisted of 40 children who were given intervention (dental health education with TQM approach) and the control group consisted of 40 children who were not given intervention. Data analysis used univariable, bivariable, and multivariate using paired samples t-test and independent t-test. RESULTS: The statistical findings showed that there were differences in behavior and oral hygiene status after dental health education through the TQM approach to students (p < 0.05). There was an effect of dental health education through the TQM approach on OHIS status (p <0.05). Dental health education using the TQM approach influenced changes in behavior and OHI-S status (p = 0.001). The finding of the analysis showed that in the intervention group, there were differences in the average behavior and oral hygiene status from pre-test to post-test I (p = 0.001). However, there was no difference between post 1 and post-test II (p = 1.00). In the intervention group, there was a difference in this status from pre-test to post-test 1 (p = 0.001). While in the control group, there was no difference in the average behavior from pre-test to post-test I and from post-test I to post-test II. There was a difference in the mean OHIS status from pre-test to post-test 1 and from post-test 1 to post-test 2 in the intervention group and the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Dental health education using the TQM approach has influenced changes in behavior and OHIS status of elementary school students in central Aceh districts.
