Effectiveness of the use of leaflet and booklet media, in improving the ability to broth dentals, in basic school students

One of the causes of dental and oral health problems on children is the behavioral factor that ignores the health of teeth and mouth. It happens because of the lack of knowledge of maintaining oral health which leads to cause caries. The purpose of the study was to analyze differences in the use of leaflet and booklet media in improving the ability to brush teeth in elementary school students. This type of research is analytic research with pre-posttest design. Analysis of the data used is the Mann-Whitney test to see the differences between leaflet media and booklet media. From the results of analysis, the leaflet media was more effective to be used as a counseling medium compared to the booklet media in improving the ability to brush.
