Modification of problem-based learning and role play models to skills early detection of dental caries

Abstract

Background The UKGS program has been running since 1951 but the results have not been satisfactory, the results of the Basic Health Research show that the caries experience index in the 12 year age group (DMF-T) has increased from 0.91 in 2007 to 1.4 in 2013. early prevention of dental caries involves the participation of parents through training with modification of Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Role Play models
Material and Methods Quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest with control group design. The independent variable of this study is the modification of PBL and Role Play and the dependent variable is the skill of early detection of dental caries. Data retrieval uses an observation sheet. The number of samples of 25 people as an intervention group received training using PBL and Role Play modification methods, 25 people received training with the lecture method as a control group. The analysis used univariate and bivariate.
Results Training with modification of PBL and Role Play increased skill (0.001). This indicates that the value of p <0.05 means that there are significant differences before and after treatment.
Conclusion Modification of Problem Based Learning and Role Play models effectively increases skills of early detection of dental caries
