Abstract

South Kalimantan has seen a significant rise in dental and oral health issues, particularly periodontal diseases, which are prevalent among diabetic patients. This research aimed to analyze the periodontal status and the corresponding treatment needs of the Prolanis group, consisting of diabetic mellitus (DM) patients, at Sungai Ulin Health Center and South Banjarbaru Health Center, Banjarbaru City, during the second year of the study. A descriptive-analytical approach was employed to assess the periodontal tissue condition using the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN). A total of 65 respondents were examined, and the results indicated that 49.23% of the participants had tartar, while 30.78% displayed healthy periodontal conditions. Counseling on oral hygiene and scaling treatments were provided. The study emphasizes the importance of regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene practices, particularly in diabetic patients, to prevent further complications. Recommendations include brushing teeth twice daily and reducing the intake of cariogenic foods.

Abstract

Dental caries remains a major public health concern, particularly among children, with various factors influencing its development, including nutritional statusThis study examines the relationship between stunting and saliva pH as a risk factor for dental caries in children. Conducted in Hulu Sungai Utara District, South Kalimantan Province, it involved 121 elementary school students through total sampling. Data collection included height-for-age measurements to classify stunting and saliva pH analysis using a digital pH meter. Statistical analysis via the Mann-Whitney U test revealed that stunted children had significantly lower saliva pH (mean: 5.794) compared to non-stunted children (mean: 6.927), with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). These findings suggest that stunting may impair salivary gland function, leading to decreased saliva pH and increased susceptibility to dental caries. This study underscores the need for targeted interventions to improve dental health and nutrition in stunted populations.
