Abstract

Chewing food with one side of the mouth will cause thick and strong muscles only on that side. The facial muscles on the right and left sides will become asymmetrical. Chewing one side is one of the bad habits that can affect the hygiene status of teeth and mouth. Dental and oral hygiene can be measured by an index with good, medium, bad criteria. The measurement used is with OHI-S (oral hygiene index simplified).. This study aims to determine whether there is a one-sided chewing relationship with dental and oral hygiene status in people aged 30-40 years, Simae Environment, Baranti District, Sidrap Regency.
