ABSTRACTBackground: Dental and oral health problems in primary school students are in the high category, this is because efforts to improve dental health behavior of school children are still not optimal. One effective prevention of these problems through the act of brushing your teeth diligently, thoroughly and regularly. Proper dental health education is given to primary school students in the form of media that is packaged by learning while playing. Media promotion explosion teeth box is expected to change the behavior of brushing your child's teeth. Objective: To produce a suitable and effective explosion teeth box promotion media model towards changing tooth brushing behavior among  primary school students. Methods: Research and Development (RD) and product/model trials (quasy experimental control group pretest and posttest design studies). The subjects of class III primary school students were divided into 2 groups: explosion teeth box as an intervention group and flashcard media as a control group and the duration of treatment for 10 days. The results of the model design were validated by experts. Data were tested using the interclass correlation coefficient test, shapiro-wilk, friedman, and post-hoc wilcoxon. Results: The average validation of explosion teeth box experts was 86.66 (very feasible) as a medium for the promotion of dental health in primary school students shown by the p-value (0.001). This model was effective in increasing the knowledge of brushing teeth (p=0.001) and decreasing the index debris score (p=0.001) compared to the control group. Conclusion: The application of explosion teeth box which was carried out for 10 days effectively improved the knowledge of brushing teeth in primary school students compared to the control group. Keywords: Primary school students, explosion teeth box, changing tooth brushingABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut pada siswa sekolah dasar termasuk kategori tinggi, hal ini disebabkan karena upaya peningkatan perilaku kesehatan gigi anak sekolah masih belum optimal. Salah satu pencegahan yang efektif terhadap masalah tersebut melalui menggosok gigi secara tekun, teliti dan teratur. Pendidikan kesehatan gigi yang tepat diberikan pada siswa sekolah dasar berupa media yang dikemas dengan cara belajar sambil bermain. Media promosi explosion teeth box diharapkan dapat merubah perilaku menggosok gigi anak. Tujuan: Menghasilkan model media promosi explosion teeth box yang layak dan efektif terhadap perubahan perilaku menggosok gigi pada siswa sekolah dasar. Metode: Research and Development (RD) dan uji coba produk/model (studi quasy experimental control group pretest and posttest design). Subjek penelitian siswa sekolah dasar kelas III dibagi dalam 2 kelompok yaitu explosion teeth box sebagai kelompok intervensi dan media flash card sebagai kelompok kontrol dan lamanya perlakuan selama 10 hari. Hasil rancang bangun model divalidasi oleh para ahli. Data diuji menggunakan uji interclass correlation coefficient, shapiro-wilk, chi-square, friedman dan pos-hoc wilcoxon. Hasil: Validasi ahli explosion teeth box rata-rata 86,66 (sangat layak) sebagai media promosi kesehatan gigi pada siswa sekolah dasar ditunjukan dengan nilai p-value (0,001). Model ini efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan menggosok gigi (p=0,001) dan menurunkan skor debris indeks (p=0,001) dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol. Kesimpulan: Penerapan explosion teeth box yang dilakukan selama 10 hari efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan menggosok gigi pada siswa sekolah dasar dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol. Kata Kunci: Siswa sekolah dasar, explosion teeth box, perubahan perilaku menggosok gigi
