Abstract

This community service program aimed to implement a digital denture care and rehabilitation system for elderly residents in rural communities of Kediri Regency using teledentistry and 3D printing technology. The program was conducted in 8 elderly care centers and 15 village communities with a total of 450 elderly participants aged 60-85 years over a 12-month period. The digital system utilized smartphone-based oral health assessment, teledentistry consultations, and 3D printing for denture repairs and fabrication. Services included digital oral health screening, remote prosthetic consultation, denture maintenance education, and on-site 3D printed denture repairs. Results showed that 78.4% of participants had denture-related problems, with poor denture fit (45.2%) and broken dentures (33.2%) being the most common issues. The teledentistry system achieved 89.7% diagnostic accuracy compared to clinical examination. Digital denture repair services successfully restored function in 92.3% of cases within 24 hours. Additionally, 94.6% of participants reported improved denture care knowledge and 87.3% showed better oral hygiene practices after the program. In conclusion, the digital denture care program successfully provided accessible prosthetic services to underserved elderly communities while promoting preventive denture care practices.
