Abstract

Introduction: Early childhood dental caries (ECDC) is a major public health problem affecting up to 90% of children worldwide and is related to diet and nutrition.  Early childhood undernutrition, including fetal stunting, and stunting, is a global problem.  Undernutrition in neonatal stunting could be the cause associated with ECDC.  This scoping-review aims to understand the linkage mechanism behind neonatal stunting undernutrition to ECDC. This concept is expected to generate further research to help prevent both growth,   stunting undernutrition and ECDC. Review:  This study uses the PRISMA method, with the steps: (1) Question framework (literature study); (2) Search for articles in databases (on PubMed, ProQuest, Google Scholar), and journal data bases with articles published from 2017 to 2024; (3) Selection of relevant research; (4) Data extraction; (5) Synthesis with narrative method. The study obtained 5 articles to be reviewed, proving that pregnant women who experience chronic undernutrition (mainly deficiency of protein, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, minerals Fe, Ca, P and Zn), will contribute to giving birth to undernutrition stunting neonatal, with severe ECDC in 1 article; 1 articles analyzing the strong relationship between chronic neonatal stunting undernutrition with enamel hypoplasia, low quality and rate of saliva, an important cause of ECDC; and 3 article analyzing the neonatal stunting undernutrition is associated with severe ECDC. Conclusion:  Chronic undernutrition in pregnant women and subsequent neonatal stunting significantly contribute to the risk of severe ECDC.

Abstract

Introduction: The unkempt state of the mouth and teeth can lead to the development of bacteria that cause problems in the oral cavity. Streptococcus mutans, an acid-producing bacterium, can cause caries whose numbers can be reduced by chewing Xylitol gum. Xylitol is a non-acidogenic and non-cariogenic natural sweetener that can stimulate salivary flow and increase the pH value of saliva. These bacteria cannot ferment Xylitol so acid is not produced and salivary pH does not decrease. Materials and Methods: The tools and materials used in this study were Xylitol fresh mint gum, diagnostic tools, laboratory tools, Streptococcus mutans bacteria, saliva before and after treatment. The research method used was descriptive pseudo-experimental with One Group Pre-test and Post-test design. Results and Discussion: The results of the study were analyzed with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The group between before and after treatment showed a difference in the number of bacterial colonies of 0.000, so there was a significant difference in the number of colonies in this study, with an average colony of Streptococcus mutans before treatment of 99.87 CPU/ml. While for Streptococcus mutans colonies after treatment amounted to 36.75 CPU/ml. Conclusion: From the results of the study, it can be concluded that Xylitol gum has an effect on the growth of the number of colonies of Streptococcus mutans bacteria in saliva.
