Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of parental knowledge regarding dental and oral health care on the oral hygiene of children with intellectual disabilities at a special needs school in Kupang City. The research method used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire to measure parental knowledge and an examination of the children's oral hygiene index. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank test. The results showed a correlation coefficient (rₛ) of 0.254 with a p-value of 0.161, indicating a weak and insignificant positive relationship between parental knowledge and children's oral hygiene. Therefore, it can be concluded that parental knowledge does not significantly influence the oral hygiene of children with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries remains a common oral health problem among toddlers. One of the contributing factors is the habit of using feeding bottles or pacifiers, especially during sleep. Mothers’ knowledge regarding the impact of pacifier use on children’s oral health plays an important role in preventing dental caries. This study aimed to determine the relationship between mothers’ knowledge of pacifier-feeding habits and the incidence of dental caries among toddlers at Posyandu Sodamolek Lasiana, Kupang City. Methods: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design involving 35 mothers of toddlers selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire and an observation sheet for dental caries. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Most mothers had a moderate level of knowledge (42.9%). The majority of toddlers used pacifiers while sleeping (74.3%), and 62.9% had dental caries. Chi-Square analysis showed a significant relationship between mothers’ knowledge and dental caries incidence (p = 0.021). Conclusion: Mothers’ knowledge is significantly associated with dental caries among toddlers. Oral health education for mothers should be strengthened to support early caries prevention.
