Data was collected by instructing participants to fill out a pre-test questionnaire on Google drive, then a teledentistry was conducted and ended by filling out a post-test questionnaire to determine the increase in oral health knowledge for evaluation of dental health empowerment. Results: The main level of knowledge of dental and oral health is good (50%), moderate (40%) and low (10%). Knowledge about dental malocclusion is only 40% who have good knowledge about malocclusion, others are low enough to reach 20% knowledge and other respondents have moderate 40%. After the dental health empowerment program, the knowledge of the participant regarding the oral health was enhanced.

The use of red betel leaves for medicine is due to the fact that betel leaves contain a lot of essential oils. Purpose: To examine the antibacterial activity of red betel leaf extract against Staphylococcus aureus by investigate at the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values. Methods: This study used an in vitro laboratory experiment as its research method. The post-test only control group design experiment was used in this study, in which the experimental and control groups were not chosen at random and each of the two groups was compared. Results: Red betel leaves that had been extracted at a concentration of 100% were diluted into several concentrations, namely 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.75%. The results of this dilution obtained the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of red betel leaf extract against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria at a concentration of 6.25%, while the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) value was obtained at a concentration of 12.5%. Conclusion: The MBC value in this study was in red betel leaf extract with a concentration of 12.5%, and the MIC value in this study was in red betel leaf extract with a concentration of 6.25%.
