Plaque that is not properly cleaned will result in the formation of tartar. Tartar causes discomfort in a person, as well as Mr. Z's client who feels uncomfortable with this tartar. This study aims to determine the results of Dental and Oral Health Care for client Mr.Z with one-sided chewing habits at the Dental Health Department clinic. This research method is a case report with the concept of oral health care which consists of the process of assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
