manikins in 2021. The study was conducted by 6 respondents in
which each respondent performed 2 oral treatments using an
electrical toothache salvadora perisca on the mouth of a
manikin that had been dirty make-up using Ky Jelly. The
toothbrush was operated for 1 minute evenly on the teeth, and
foam sticks are used to clean the lips and oral mucosa. Oral
hygiene was measured with a modified Beck Oral Assessment
Scale (BOAS) instrument, and the scores of conditions before
and after oral care were compared using the Wilcoxon test.
Results: Wilcoxon test showed a value of 0.002, which means
that there was a difference in the BOAS score between before
and after treatment. Electric toothbrushes clean teeth better,
and foam sticks are able to clean the inside and soft of the
