Abstract

Dental caries is a disease caused by the interaction of acid-producing bacteria with the host (teeth), substrate (food), and develops over time. Acid will cause a repeated decrease in pH over a period of time, then result in tooth demineralization and caries. Basic Health Research 2018 states that South Kalimantan has a caries rate of 56.17% in the age group of 5-9 years. Data on dental caries for elementary school children in the work area of the Guntung Manggis Health Center in 2022 was 64.16%. State Elementary School 3 Guntung Manggis has the highest prevalence rate of dental caries of 92% in the working area of the Guntung Manggis Health Center. The study aimed to determine the correlation between saliva pH and dental caries in grade I students of State Elementary School 3 Guntung Manggis Banjarbaru City. This type of research is an analytical survey with a Cross Sectional research design. The sample was taken by the Proportional Random Sampling technique with a sample of 92 students. The research uses a statistical test, namely Chi Square. The results of this study showed that most students had acidic saliva pH (73.9%) and high dental caries (53.3%). Based on the results of the Chi Square test with a value of sig. (2-tailed) ρ = 0.008 < α = 0.05, which means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The conclusion is that there is a correlation between saliva pH and dental caries in grade I students of State Elementary School 3 Guntung Manggis Banjarbaru City. It is hoped that it is necessary to improve dental and oral health care service activities, especially promotive and preventive activities, namely continuous counseling and examination at State Elementary School 3 Guntung Manggis, Banjarbaru City to prevent dental caries

Abstract

Caries is a disease of the hard tissue of the teeth caused by bacteria adhering to the surface of the teeth in the form of plaque. The formation of dental plaque can be prevented by plaque control including mechanical control and chemical control, one of which is gargling using natural ingredients, namely young coconut water (Cocus Nucifera L Var. Viridis). Pure coconut water has antimicrobial activity due to its high lauric acid content and has been used as a remedy for several oral infections. This study aims to determine the effect of young coconut water gargling (Cocus Nucifera L Var. Viridis) on dental plaque. The type of research used was quasi-experimental with a pretest and posttest one group design. The sample in this study was taken by means of purposive sampling totaling 44 people. Measurements were made before and after consuming 100 ml of young coconut water (Cocus Nucifera L Var. Viridis). Plaque was measured using the Personal Hygiene Performance (PHP) method. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study gargling young coconut water (Cocos Nucifera L Var. Viridis) 1.31 and after decreasing 0.47. There was a significant difference between before and after gargling young coconut water (Cocos Nucifera L Var. Viridis) p=0.000. The conclusion in this study was that gargling with young coconut water (Cocos Nucifera L Var. Viridis) had an effect on reducing the dental plaque index

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.
