Abstract

Dental health problems can occur in all age groups, especially in children, and it is important to pay attention to them. In addi-tion to caries, another common dental problem in children is persistent primary teeth. This study was conducted at the UPTD Selemadeg Timur I Community Health Centre, Tabanan, Bali, from January to March 2025. This study was conducted using an observational cross-sectional method. Data on patient visits for persistent deciduous teeth at the Selemadeg Timur I Commu-nity Health Centre, involved 359 patients. It was concluded that the high incidence of persistent teeth at the health centre may be due to a lack of knowledge among parents.

Abstract

Untreated caries can lead to pulp tissue death or pulp necrosis. Promotive and preventive measures need to be improved to re-duce the incidence of this condition with the aim of improving the quality of life of the community, especially in the dental and oral health sector. This observational study used a cross-sectional method, showing that the highest number of cases was recorded in October 2024 at 20.5%. Of the total 105 cases, 60% were female patients and 40% were male. This comparison shows that women tend to suffer from pulp necrosis more often, which can be correlated with the tendency for women to snack, causing caries to worsen into pulp necrosis. It is concluded that cases of pulp necrosis at the Selemadeg Timur I Community Health Centre are more common among women, which is related to women's snacking habits that increase the risk of caries.
