Abstract

Dental caries remains a major oral health problem among children aged 6–10 years and is closely related to parental involvement in maintaining oral hygiene. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between parental role and the occurrence of dental caries in children aged 6–10 years at the Dental and Oral Hospital of Hasanuddin University, Makassar. This research employed a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted from July to August 2025. A total of 109 parent–child pairs who visited RSGMP Unhas and met the inclusion criteria were recruited using purposive sampling. Primary data were collected through interviews with parents using a structured questionnaire to assess parental roles, and direct clinical observation of children to determine dental caries status. Data were processed through editing, coding, entry, and cleaning stages. Descriptive analysis was performed to describe respondent characteristics, while the Chi-square test was used to examine the association between parental role and dental caries occurrence. The results showed that most parents had a good role in maintaining their children’s oral health (98.17%). All children examined (100%) were found to have dental caries. Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test demonstrated a significant relationship between parental role and the occurrence of dental caries, with p-value: 0.0001 (p<0.05). In conclusion, there was a significant association between parental role and dental caries in children aged 6–10 years at RSGMP Unhas Makassar. Strengthening parental involvement in oral health maintenance is essential to prevent and control dental caries in children.

Abstract

The background of this study is based on the high prevalence of dental and oral health problems in children, with 60-90% of school-aged children experiencing tooth decay. Additionally, the active role of parents is crucial in guiding children to maintain good oral health. The objective of this study was to identify the level of parental knowledge in improving the oral health of children aged 6-10 years at the Hasanuddin University Dental and Oral Health Education Hospital. This research method used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 93 parents of children aged 6-10 years undergoing treatment at RSGMP. The results of the study showed that respondents who obtained scores in the range of 26-40 contributed 54.3% of the total respondents, indicating that more than half of the respondents were classified as good. Respondents who scored between 0 and 15 numbered 10 individuals, representing 1.1%, while those who scored between 16 and 26 numbered 40 individuals, accounting for 45.2% of the total 93 respondents, falling into the moderate score category. The study concluded that fathers were more dominant than mothers in actively maintaining their children's dental health. Respondents who obtained a good category contributed 54.3%, respondents in the poor category numbered 10, representing 1.1%, and respondents in the moderate category numbered 40, accounting for 45.2% of the total 93 respondents, who were parents of children at the RSGMP of Hasanuddin University.
