Abstract

Abstract: Stunting is a linear growth disorder that is not appropriate for the child's age due to malnutrition. Malnutrition in stunted children can affect bone growth. The process of inhibited bone growth will affect the process of maturation of the periodontal bones that support the teeth being hampered so that children can experience delays in tooth eruption. This study aimed to describe the eruption of the permanent lower central incisors in stunted children at Sekolah Dasar (elementary school) Koto Balingka West Pasaman. This was a quantitative-descriptive-observational study with a case control design. Samples obtained by using purposive sampling technique were 68 children consisting of 34 (50%) stunted children and 34 (50%) normal children aged 6-7 years in the working area of the Parit Koto Balingka Health Center. Univariate analysis was presented in the form of frequency and percentage distributions. The results showed that among stunted children, 22 (64.7%) had not erupted permanent lower central incisors meanwhile 12 (35.3%) children did. Moreover, among normal children, 6 (17.6%) had not erupted permanent lower central incisors meanwhile 28 (82.4%) did. In conclusion, most children aged 6-7 years with stunting have not yet had erupted permanent lower central incisors, meanwhile most children with normal nutritional status have erupted permanent lower central incisors, with a mean age of eruption at 7 years. Keywords: stunting; tooth eruption; permanent lower central incisor; malnutrition

Abstract

Caries is often experienced in mid-childhood (10-12 years) which is referred to as a vulnerable period, because at that time milk teeth begin to fall out and first permanent teeth begin to erupt. Tooth brushing is the most recommended primary prevention in maintaining dental and oral health. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between tooth brushing behavior and dental caries in children at 27 Sungai Sapih Kuranji Public Elementary School, Padang City. This was a quantitative study with an analytical and observational approach. Population were all students in grades 4 and 5, totaling 114 students obtained with total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Spearman test, and were processed using computerized program SPSS IBM version 25.0. The results showed that most subjects had moderate tooth brushing behavior (82.5%), and the highest percentage of dental caries level was very low (49.1%). The Spearman test showed a significant relationship between tooth brushing behavior and dental caries level among the subjects (p=0.001). In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between tooth brushing behavior and dental caries in children at SD Negeri 27 Sungai Sapih Kuranji, Padang City. It is recommended for dental health workers to educate the students about the importance of dental and oral care and how to do tooth brushing properly and correctly.
