Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Stunting is one of the nutritional problems that occur in Indonesia. Stunting is a condition where height is not following age. Physical growth is often used as an indicator to measure nutritional status. Permanent first molars are the first to erupt and normally erupt at 6-7 years old. Nutrition plays an important role in the growth and development of children. Since nutrition is one of the factors that influence tooth eruption, this study aimed to analyse the correlation between stunting children aged 6-7 years in terms of nutritional status and the eruption of the permanent first molar. Methods: This research used observational analytic correlation with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was done using the cluster random sampling method to select elementary schools and total sampling to select children. The research was conducted at three elementary schools in the Jatinangor region. The number of samples was 200 children. The samples were measured for height and examination of the eruption status of permanent first molars. Result: It was found that 42 children were stunted. 12 children had not erupted their permanent first molars at all. There were 36% stunted children aged 6 years and 64% children aged 7 years. The results of the analysis using the Spearman rank correlation test obtained a correlation coefficient with r=0.185 and p-value=0.242 which showed the very weak strength and positive direction of the correlation. Conclusion: There is no correlation between nutritional status and eruption of permanent first molars in stunting children aged 6-7 years in the Jatinangor region.Keywords: nutritional status; stunting; tooth eruption; permanent first molar

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: The PUFA Index and pufa are used to measure the severity of dental and oral conditionwhich are not commonly used due to its novelty, and this index can be used to measure untreated dental caries7 and caries activity. The aims of study are to assess the severity of untreated caries in children’s deciduous and permanent teeth by using the PUFA and pufa index. Methods: An observational study using a cross-sectional study design was conducted among children who lived in Puteran village in Pager Ageung district, Tasikmalaya Regent, West Java, Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used, and the children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were invited to participate in the study. Severity of caries was assessed using the pufa and PUFA index for deciduous and permanent teeth, respectively. Severity of caries data were analysed using formulas for pufa and PUFA index. Results: A total of 206 children participated in the study. The PUFA assessment showed the severity of caries was high in the deciduous dentition with pufa index of 3.5 with SD 1,9-3,6 However, the PUFA assessment showed a relatively lower severity of caries in permanent teeth, with index PUFA of 0.5 with SD 1,9-3,6. The severity of caries was higher in the maxillary than the mandibular teeth in deciduous teeth. On the other hand, the severity of caries was higher in the mandibular than maxillary teeth in the permanent teeth. Conclusions: Each child aged 6 and 12 years in Puteran village had severe untreated caries in one permanent tooth and severe untreated caries in 3 to 4 of deciduous teeth. The findings of the study will be used to develop caries prevention and oral health promotion programs.KEYWORDS Caries, Severity, Deciduous, Permanent, teeth, PUFA, PUFA index, children

Abstract

Introduction: Cleft lip and/or palate is a common congenital defect. Children with this condition often experience abnormalities in the anatomical and morphological structures of the oral cavity, which contribute to poor oral hygiene and a lack of interest in maintaining dental care. Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is a prevalent dental health problem in patients with cleft lip and/or palate and is affected by factors such as sugary food consumption, oral hygiene habits, frequency and use of milk bottles, and parental socioeconomic status. This study aims to identify the risk factors for ECC in children with cleft lip and/or palate. Methods: This study employed descriptive research methods, using interviews with ECC risk factor questionnaires and purposive sampling based on Taro Yamane's formula, resulting in a sample of 91 parents of children diagnosed with cleft lip and/or palate. The questionnaires used in this research had undergone validity and reliability testing. The results were analyzed using frequency distribution. Results: The results of this research showed that most respondents had education level equivalent to junior high school or high school (51.65%). The respondents' average income was below 1.5 million as follows, accounting 47.25% of the sample.  All respondents (100%) demonstrated good knowledge of maintaining their children's oral hygiene. However, the majority of respondents provided sweet foods (51.65%) and sweet drinks (43.65%) to their children 1-3 times per day. Additionally, 49.45% of respondents reported giving milk to their children before sleep, and 45,05% indicated that their children sometimes fell asleep eating without brushing teeth. Conclusion: The risk factors for ECC in patients with cleft lip and/or palate include parental education and income, children's habit of sleeping after eating without brushing their teeth, frequency of sugary foods consumption, frequency of formula milk consumption, and the practice of giving milk to children before bedtime.
