Abstract: Stunting is a linear growth disorder that is not appropriate for the child's age due to malnutrition. Malnutrition in stunted children can affect bone growth. The process of inhibited bone growth will affect the process of maturation of the periodontal bones that support the teeth being hampered so that children can experience delays in tooth eruption. This study aimed to describe the eruption of the permanent lower central incisors in stunted children at Sekolah Dasar (elementary school) Koto Balingka West Pasaman. This was a quantitative-descriptive-observational study with a case control design. Samples obtained by using purposive sampling technique were 68 children consisting of 34 (50%) stunted children and 34 (50%) normal children aged 6-7 years in the working area of the Parit Koto Balingka Health Center. Univariate analysis was presented in the form of frequency and percentage distributions. The results showed that among stunted children, 22 (64.7%) had not erupted permanent lower central incisors meanwhile 12 (35.3%) children did. Moreover, among normal children, 6 (17.6%) had not erupted permanent lower central incisors meanwhile 28 (82.4%) did. In conclusion, most children aged 6-7 years with stunting have not yet had erupted permanent lower central incisors, meanwhile most children with normal nutritional status have erupted permanent lower central incisors, with a mean age of eruption at 7 years. Keywords: stunting; tooth eruption; permanent lower central incisor; malnutrition

Caries is often experienced in mid-childhood (10-12 years) which is referred to as a vulnerable period, because at that time milk teeth begin to fall out and first permanent teeth begin to erupt. Tooth brushing is the most recommended primary prevention in maintaining dental and oral health. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between tooth brushing behavior and dental caries in children at 27 Sungai Sapih Kuranji Public Elementary School, Padang City. This was a quantitative study with an analytical and observational approach. Population were all students in grades 4 and 5, totaling 114 students obtained with total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Spearman test, and were processed using computerized program SPSS IBM version 25.0. The results showed that most subjects had moderate tooth brushing behavior (82.5%), and the highest percentage of dental caries level was very low (49.1%). The Spearman test showed a significant relationship between tooth brushing behavior and dental caries level among the subjects (p=0.001). In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between tooth brushing behavior and dental caries in children at SD Negeri 27 Sungai Sapih Kuranji, Padang City. It is recommended for dental health workers to educate the students about the importance of dental and oral care and how to do tooth brushing properly and correctly. Keywords: tooth brushing behavior; dental caries; elementary school children; dental and oral health

Abstract: Oral candidiasis is a widely known mucosal fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida species. Children and infants are highly more susceptible to Candida infection than adults. We report an oral candidiasis case in a 5-year-old girl with white spots on her lips and tongue. When the white spots were scrapped off, they would be detached leaving red patches on the mucosal surfaces. The patient had pacifier sucking habit and tended to place the pacifier everywhere carelessly. Previously, the patient was treated at a primary healthcare center and received nystatin therapy. However, there was no improvement at all after the therapy. Based on her current and historical conditions, the patient was diagnosed as oral candidiasis, and in this case nystatin administration was ineffective. Therefore, the patient required better oral hygiene management, and the medication given was a gargle containing 0.1% hyaluronic acid. A week after using the gargle without using pacifier anymore, white spots had disappeared, and oral hygiene had improved. Re-control was conducted one month after the first visit and no Candida infection was detected. In conclusion, gargle containing 0.1% hyaluronic acid associated with better dental and oral hygiene is effective to treat oral candidiasis in children. Keywords: oral candidiasis; children; pacifier sucking habit; gargle containing 0.1% hyaluronic acid

Abstract: Relationship between body mass index (BMI) and dental caries in children has been studied in several countries and shows varying results. Poor dental and oral health will have an impact on several aspects of the quality of life of children such as speaking and chewing, resulting in malnutrition and undernutrition. Meanwhile, intake of foods rich in carbohydrates is a risk factor for overweight or obesity, and can also cause caries. This study aimed to review the relationship between BMI and caries prevalence in children. This was a literature review study using databases obtained from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink with related topics. The results showed that there were five literatures that showed no relationship between BMI and the incidence of caries in children. One literature stated that a high BMI was significantly associated with a lower probability of caries occurrence. In conclusion, there was no relationship between body mass index and caries prevalence in children, albeit, a literature stated that a higher BMI was associated with a lower chance of caries. Keywords: body mass index; caries; DMF-T index; children with caries Abstrak: Hubungan antara indeks massa tubuh (IMT) dan karies gigi pada anak telah diteliti di beberapa negara dan menunjukkan hasil bervariasi. Kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang buruk akan berdampak pada aspek kualitas hidup anak seperti bicara dan mengunyah sehingga menyebabkan malnutrisi atau kekurangan gizi. Asupan makanan kaya karbohidrat yang merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya kelebihan berat badan atau obesitas juga dapat menyebabkan terjadinya karies. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah dan mengkaji hasil-hasil penelitian terpublikasi sebelumnya yang berkaitan dengan IMT dan prevalensi karies pada anak serta hubungan antara IMT dengan prevalensi karies pada anak. Penelitian ini berbentuk suatu literature review menggunakan dari Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, dan SpringerLink dengan topik yang berhubungan. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan lima literatur yang secara statistik menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara IMT dengan tingkat kejadian karies pada anak. Satu literatur secara bermakna menyatakan IMT tinggi dikaitkan dengan kemungkinan kejadian karies yang rendah. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara IMT dan status karies namun terdapat literatur yang menyatakan IMT lebih tinggi dikaitkan dengan kemungkinan karies yang lebih rendah. Kata kunci: indeks massa tubuh; karies; indeks DMF-T; anak dengan karies
