Abstract

According to the 2018 Basic Health Research or Riskesdas, 57.6% of the Indonesian population admitted to having oral health problems. Patients with malocclusion in Indonesia are high despite the low demand for orthodontic treatment due to lack of knowledge about malocclusion. WHO defines malocclusion as an abnormality that can cause damage or interfere with occlu-sion function and may be an obstacle to the patient's physical and emotional health. This study aimed to determine the relation-ship between knowledge about malocclusion and the need for orthodontic treatment in children aged 9-12 years through quan-titative research with descriptive observation method. The correlation coefficient value was obtained as 0.796. This shows that there is a very strong positive relationship between the level of knowledge of Tamalanrea State Elementary School students aged 9-12 years with malocclusion. In addition, a significance value of 0.002 (<0.01 or 0.05) was also obtained, which means that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and the incidence of malocclusion. It is concluded that there is a sig-nificant relationship between children and parents' knowledge and the incidence of malocclusion in children.
