Abstract

Fasting has many health benefits for the human body as there is a detoxification process or release of toxic substances in the bod. One of the benefits are on blood pressure and oral hygiene. This research aims to identify the difference of blood pressure and oral hygiene level between clinical dental profession students who have a habitual and those who have no habitual doing Monday Thursday fasting. The Mann-Whitney U-Test result for blood pressure category showed a p value 0,006 (p<0,05). There was a difference in the blood pressure among two groups. The oral hygiene level category showed that p value 1,000 (p>0,05) and, there was no significant difference in the oral hygiene level. Based on this study’s result, it can be concluded that the clinical dental profession students with a habit of doing Monday Thursday fasting had normal blood pressure compared to those with no habitual. However at the oral hygiene level, all students had good oral hygiene due to sufficient oral health knowledge.
