Abstract

The 2018 Riskesdas data shows that 57.6% of Indonesia's population has problems with their dental health, but only 10.2% receive treatment. Dental treatment with a diagnosis of pulpitis requires several stages of action so it requires repeated control visits of up to 4 or 5 visits. From the results of registration in the field, most people who treat pulpitis teeth do not complete the permanent filling. Compliance in therapy is the level of patient behavior that is focused on the instructions given. This type of research is analytic with 46 respondents. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between educational characteristics, age and gender on patient adherence to repeat visits. The results of this study were that the percentage of adherence to permanent tooth pulpitis treatment was mostly non-adherent as much as 84.78% and only 15.22% adherent, based on the stages of the visit, namely the most respondents stopped after the first repeat visit stage as much as 63.04% and those who completed perform maintenance, namely as much as 15.22%, the percentage of compliance based on age, namely younger people tend to be more obedient than those who are more mature, as much as 96.97% are disobedient, based on gender, namely women as much as 20.83% more obedient and men as much as 90.91% did not comply, based on the level of education, namely those with higher education were 25% more obedient and those with basic education were 100% non-compliant. The results of the comparative analysis show that education level and age are closely related to the level of adherence, while the gender factor is known to be more obedient to women doing re-treatment. Ignorance of the patient about the importance of the stages of pulpitis treatment, the busyness of the patient which hinders multiple visits and after getting the first action "relief of pain" the patient no longer feels pain in his teeth are some of the things that result in treatment being incomplete due to the patient's non-compliance. The conclusion from this study is that most of the treatment of pulpitis patients is incomplete due to non-compliance in making repeat visits, the results of the analysis obtained the results of education, age and gender factors related to patient adherence to repeat visits to the dental polyclinic UPTD Puskesmas Selemadeg Barat in 2022.
