Abstract

In Indonesia, according to the Riskesdas data, only 0.1% of 15-year-old children received fissure sealant treatment. Glass ionomer sealants can prevent caries on newly erupted permanent molars and are a good alternative because they are cheaper, painless, and easy to apply. The study aimed to evaluate the retention of glass ionomer sealants in preventing occlusal caries on permanent molars in children. The research method used an experimental design. The independent variable was the filling of deep fissures with Fuji VII glass ionomer, and the dependent variable was the occlusal status of the left and right lower first permanent molars, which included teeth that had been sealed with glass ionomer (intact sealant, partially lost, completely lost, either caries-free or carious). The population consisted of primary school children in Manefu, East Baumata Village. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling, targeting primary school children aged 7-10 years at SD Manefu who had deep fissures and were willing to participate. Data collection involved clinical trials, including sealing the left and right lower first permanent molars with Fuji VII glass ionomer and evaluating the sealant retention after six months. Data were processed and analyzed using descriptive statistical tests. The results showed that nine molars had good retention (23.68%), five molars had partially lost their sealant (13.15%), 31.57% of molars were caries-free despite losing their entire sealant, and 31.57% of molars developed caries after losing their entire sealant. Overall, 26 molars (68.42%) treated with fissure sealing were protected from caries. Initial enamel caries lesions occurred in 31.58% of sealed molars whose sealants had dislodged. In conclusion, the use of glass ionomer sealants demonstrated a retention effect and prevented occlusal caries on permanent molars in children by up to 68.42%.

Abstract

The oral cavity is the most important part, the main place for the reception of nutrients for the body. Oral and dental health status, food consumption, nutritional status, and overall well-being are interrelated. Poor nutrition in children is caused by an imbalance of nutrients, leading to a deficiency of energy and protein, which hampers their growth and development. Stunted children are more susceptible to dental caries due to changes in saliva. Reduced saliva volume decreases its buffering and cleaning abilities. This study aims to analyze the relationship between tooth tooth-brushing behavior of elementary school students and dental caries and stunting. This is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The sample was selected through purposive sampling with a maximum of 50 students from SD Baumata, Taebenu District, Kupang Regency. Data collection was done using questionnaires and caries examinations to determine the presence of caries in the oral cavity. Stunting was measured anthropometrically using the weight-for-height index. The chi-square test results showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p=0.035), attitude (p=0.039), and behavior (p=0.039) with caries. In contrast, the test for the relationship between knowledge (p=0.0002), attitude (p=0.000), and tooth brushing behavior (p=0.000) all showed a significant relationship with stunting. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of students with caries and stunting. It is recommended to conduct further research on the relationship between diet, nutrient intake, and the incidence of caries and stunting.

Abstract

Nutritional status is the state of the body as a result of food consumption and use of nutrients. The food consumed can affect the incidence of caries, especially the types of foods that contain sugar (glucose, sucrose, fructose) because it causes a low intake of fluoride which plays an important role in preventing dental caries. The main factors causing caries are host factors, agents/microorganisms, substrates/diet, and time. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the occurrence of dental caries in elementary school children. This research method is a systematic review study that aims to examine the relationship between nutritional status and the occurrence of caries in elementary school children in terms of 10 research journals. The articles studied were the majority in 2020 (40%), analytical research design with cross sectional design (80%), research sampling with purposive sampling (50%), research instruments with observation using the caries examination format and anthropometric assessment forms of nutritional status as many as (80%). Statistical analysis of research using chi square test and person correlation test respectively (20%). The results of this research review can be concluded that the nutritional status category of elementary school children is mostly normal (70%) while dental caries in school children is mostly high (80%). This is caused by the lack of understanding of children to maintain dental and oral hygiene. The results of the analysis carried out in a systematic review showed a significant relationship between nutritional status and the occurrence of dental caries. This is because the lower the dental caries index in the respondent, the better the nutritional status. Status gizi adalah keadaan tubuh sebagai akibat konsumsi makanan dan penggunaan zat-zat gizi. Makanan yang dikonsumsi dapat mempengaruhi timbulnya karies khususnya jenis makanan yang mengandung gula (glukosa, sukrosa, fruktosa) karena menyebabkan rendahnya asupan fluorida yang berperan penting untuk pencegahan karies gigi..Karies merupakan suatu penyakit pada jaringan keras gigi yaitu email, dentin dan sementum. Faktor utama penyebab karies adalah faktor host/ tuan rumah, agen/ mikroorganisme, substrak/ diet, dan waktu. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui hubungan status gizi terhadap terjadinya karies gigi pada anak sekolah dasar. Metode penelitian ini merupakan penelitian systematicreview yang bertujuan menelaa hubungan status gizi terhadap terjadinya karies pada anak sekolah dasar  ditinjau dari 10 jurnal penelitian. Artikel yang diteliti adalah mayoritas tahun 2020 (40%), desain penelitian dengan Analitik dengan design cross sectional (80%), sampling penelitian dengan Purposive Sampling (50%), Intrumen penelitian dengan observasi menggunakan format pemeriksaan Karies dan formulir penilaian antropometri status gizi sebanyak (80%). Analisis Statistik penelitian dengan menggunakan uji chi square dan uji korelasi person masing-masing (20%). Hasil review penelitian ini dapat di simpulkan bahwa kategori status gizi pada anak sekolah dasar mayoritas normal (70%) sedangkan karies gigi pada anak Sekolah mayoritas tinggi (80%). Hal ini di sebabkan karena kurangnya pemahaman anak-anak untuk menjaga kebersihan gigi dan mulut. Hasil analisis yang di lakukan secara systematic review terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara status gizi terhadap terjadinya karies gigi. Hal tersebut dikarenakan semakin rendah indeks karies gigi pada responden, maka status gizinya akan semakin baik.

Hasil uji diperoleh mean/rata-rata indeks PHP-M awal sebelum menyikat gigi dengan teknik individual adalah 46,61 dan mean/rata-rata indeks PHP-M akhir setelah menyikat gigi dengan teknik individual adalah 33,12 dengan selisih mean 13,49, sedangkan mean/rata-rata indeks PHP-M awal sebelum menyikat gigi dengan teknik kombinasi 45,74 dan mean/rata-rata indeks PHP-M akhir setelah menyikat gigi dengan teknik kombinasi adalah 19,64 dengan selisih mean 26,1, dengan probabilitas setelah menyikat gigi dengan teknik individual dan kombinasi 0,000 karena probabilitasnya lebih kecil dari 0,05 maka menerima Ha yang artinya ada perbedaan yang signifikan sebelum dan sesudah menyikat gigi dengan teknik kombinasi. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, maka disimpulkan bahwa teknik menyikat gigi kombinasi lebih efektif dalam menurunkan indeks PHP-M dibandingkan dengan teknik menyikat gigi individual.
