Teledentistry is a relatively new combination of telecommunications technology and dental care. It has its roots in telemedicine, which involves the use of communications and information technology to provide health services across geographic distances. Teledentistry faces several challenges, including limited internet access and inadequate infrastructure in remote areas, concerns about the confidentiality of electronic medical records, and incomplete regulations regarding teledentistry in the current law. The problems raised in this research are the obstacles faced by teledentistry practitioners in Indonesia, including factors that hinder their ability to manage medical risks and legal protection for teledentistry practitioners who face medical risks such as drug allergies. Legal protection for dentists in the field of teledentistry when facing medical risks, such as allergies to electronically prescribed medications. Dentists must obtain legal guarantees and certainty in providing health services to their patients.

Intestinal diseases caused by transmission from worms as a source of helminthiasis generally occur in areas with subtropical and tropical climate conditions which have a wet climate and lack of awareness among the public regarding maintaining health and sanitation of the surrounding environment. Around 60 percent of Indonesians experience worm infections. The largest age group is 5-14 years old. The prevalence figure is 60 percent, 21 percent of which attack elementary school age children. This disease can be spread by eggs in human waste found in soil and water, therefore awareness of clean and sanitary living is very influential, the process or pattern of feces disposal is also very influential in the spread of this worm. The high rate of soil contamination by Ascaris, which reaches >70%, can also be caused by feces that are thrown anywhere, such as in bushes or around houses close to where you live.  Preventing recurrent infections is very important by practicing clean and healthy living habits such as avoiding contact with soil that may be contaminated with human feces, washing hands with soap and water before handling food, protecting food from soil and washing or heating food that falls on the floor. Several researchers have shown that school age is a group that is often affected by worm infections because they are often in contact with soil. Apart from the government, the role of teachers and parents is very important in providing understanding or knowledge about worms so that they are more disciplined. The aim of community service is to provide knowledge and understanding to class IV/A students at SD N Pannara regarding the dangers of worms and how to prevent them and administer worm medicine.    

This study aims to compare the regulation of cosmetic distribution between the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) in Indonesia and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. The comparative method is carried out by analyzing regulations, registration procedures, security requirements, post-marketing supervision, and the role of each institution in maintaining the safety of cosmetic products. The research results show that although BPOM and FDA have the same goal of protecting consumers and ensuring the safety of cosmetic products, there are significant differences in their regulatory approaches and registration procedures. BPOM tends to adopt a more formal, qualified approach with strict requirements for registration of cosmetic products, while FDA uses a more flexible approach with more responsibility devolving to manufacturers to ensure compliance with approvals. The two agencies also have differences in post-marketing oversight. Indonesia's BPOM tends to be more active in conducting regular product testing on the market, while the United States FDA relies more on consumer and manufacturer reports to identify unsafe products. However, both face similar challenges in dealing with the rapid development of the cosmetics industry and product innovation. Continuous efforts are needed to improve regulation and supervision to ensure that cosmetic products in circulation are safe for consumers around the world.

Health is the main capital for the growth of the nation's life.  The development of trade is currently experiencing very rapidprogress, which occurs not only in the goods traded but also in the buying and selling transactions themselves.  One very important component of health is the availability of medicines as part of public health services.  This research aims to find out about the distribution of drugs without a distribution permit and consumer protection in terms of monitoring and taking action against drugs without a distribution permit that are sold online by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency and the Ministry of Communication and Information.  The results of the research show that the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency has made various efforts to protect the public from drugs without distribution permits that are sold online, in handling the circulation of drugs sold online, the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency collaborates with Interpol and other government agencies such as the Ministry of Communication and  Informatics carries out Operation Pangea.  In this operation, the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency will list websites and social media accounts that promote and market drugs without a distribution permit to be submitted to the Ministry of Communication and Information for blocking.  A distribution permit is preventive supervision as a form of protection for consumers carried out by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency before the drug circulates in the community.  So it is reasonable to suspect that if a drug does not have a distribution permit, the drug has not been tested for safety, efficacy and quality aspects.
