Abstract

An online training activity was carried out regarding the assistance of parents in maintaining the dental and oral health of pre-school age children living in the Serpong area, South Tangerang, Banten. This training was designed considering the high caries rate of Indonesian children over the last 10 years. Given the importance of developing good health behavior from an early age, the intake of non-cariogenic foods and oral hygiene maintenance habits should also be carried out as early as possible. The role of parents is vital in teaching and supervising pre-school age children’s behavior. Therefore, this training was conducted to increase parental participation in supervising children's eating patterns and cleaning the oral cavity. This should be followed by correction of diet and better oral hygiene habits to reduce children’s caries rate. Early assessments show most parents still have a wrong understanding of caries prevention in children, especially in children who still receive breast milk. The final assessment demonstrates an improved understanding in the etiology of oral diseases and parental assistance in dental and oral health maintenance in children.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is the most common oral disease in children worldwide and has been considered the most important problem in the oral cavity. Children with Down Syndrome (DS) usually have impaired communication, cognitive, and motor development so that it can be an obstacle in maintaining oral health in children. Objectives: To determine the factors that influence the occurrence of dental caries in children with Down syndrome aged 6-12 years. Methods: Scoping review using the last 10 years of journals that can be accessed through Pubmed, EBSCO, and Google Scholar databases using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. Results: From the three databases, we found 816 journals. Duplication filtering found 19 journals with the same title. Screening journals through abstracts obtained 125 journals. The entire journal was then screened for eligibility according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and 6 journals were obtained that fit the criteria. Conclusion: Down syndrome (DS) children have a lower risk of dental caries due to an increase in salivary pH, salivary flow rate, and salivary electrolytes which cause conditions in the oral cavity to become alkaline. The role of parents in maintaining children's oral health is also very important in preventing dental caries in DS children.

Abstract

Background: Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative developmental defect of tooth enamel that affects one or more permanent first molars and may involve incisors. The clinical features of MIH can include demarcated opacities, post-eruptive enamel breakdown, atypical caries, atypical restorations, and missing teeth due to MIH. Molar incisor hypomineralization is a common enamel defect with a relatively high prevalence worldwide, ranging from 9.2% to 14.2%. Data on the prevalence of MIH and clinical features of MIH in Indonesia are still minimal. Objective: To observe the distribution of clinical features and severity of molar-incisor hypomineralization in children aged 8-10 years in Kemanggisan urban village. Materials and Methods: This study used a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional method. Data was collected through random sampling by examining 267 child subjects in the field. Results: The prevalence of MIH in Kemanggisan urban village was 29,2%. There was no significant difference in gender and age in the distribution of clinical features and severity levels. The highest prevalence of clinical features and severity levels were demarcated opacities and mild, at 9,6%. Conclusion: The most prevalent clinical feature and severity level was demarcated opacities and mild in children aged 8-10 years in Kemanggisan urban village.
