"Dental caries is a unique multifactorial infectious disease. In recent years, the prevalence of dental caries in most western countries has steadily declined. By contrast study done in some developing countries such as Zambia, Nigeria, Thailand and Indonesia showed a marked increase in dental caries. Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the most important agent of human caries. Cariogenic feature of these bacteria include synthesis intracellular polysaccharide, extracellular polysaccharide, lactic acid production and ability to survive at low pH levels. Potentially, caries can be reduced by interfering with transmission of S. mutans, eliminating, established S. mutans populations from the oral cavity, increasing the acid resistance of the teeth and control of the carbohydrate composition of the diet. Oral anti mutans vaccines have been demonstrated in the laboratory, the costs involved in the development for human are relatively high. Studies Strain replacement therapy is a great promise in implantation of benign oral microbial strain capable of successfully competing with S. mutans."

"Pemanfaatan pelayanan proram UKGM dipengaruhi oleh perilaku ibu dan pengelolaan program oleh Puskesmas. Karies masih termasuk dalam sepuluh penyakit terbesar dan cakupan pembinaan kesehatan gigi di masyarakat masih rendah yaitu 19,6 %. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pemanfaatan program UKGM oleh ibu yang memiliki anak usia 2 sampai 5 tahun di Posyandu Kecamatan Medan Satria Kota Bekasi. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian sekuensial eksplanatori (mixed methods) dengan desain cross sectional dan jumlah sampel 400 responden. Untuk menggali lebih mendalam permasalahan rendahnya pemanfaatan program UKGM, penelitian ini dilengkapi dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam kepada manajemen puskesmas dan diskusi kelompok terarah kepada kader posyandu mengenai permasalahan yang ada.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian kuantitatif, pekerjaan, dukungan keluarga dan kebutuhan perawatan gigi dan mulut anak merupakan variabel yang berhubungan dengan pemanfaatan program UKGM di posyandu. Sedangkan sikap, dukungan keluarga dan kebutuhan perawatan gigi dan mulut anak merupakan variabel paling signifikan dalam pemanfaatan program UKGM di posyandu. Berbeda dengan hasil pendekatan kualitatif yang memperlihatkan bahwa justru fasilitas yang lebih mempengaruhi pemanfaatan program UKGM. Selain itu monitoring dan evaluasi belum dilakukan secara rutin. Rekomendasi pada penelitian ini adalah diharapkan untuk melengkapi fasilitas terutama alat peraga penyuluhan dan alat periksa gigi (diagnostic set), memberikan pelatihan UKGM pada kader posyandu serta melakukan monitoring setiap bulan dan evaluasi setiap tiga bulan sekali.

The utilization of UKGM program is influenced by maternal behavior and program management by the Puskesmas. Caries is still among the top ten diseases and the scope of dental health development in the community is still low at 19.6%. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the utilization of the UKGM program by mothers who have children aged 2 to 5 years at Posyandu, Medan Satria District, Bekasi City. This research is an explanatory sequential study (mixed methods) with a cross sectional design and a sample of 400 respondents. To find out more about the problem of the low utilization of the UKGM program, this study was supplemented by a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with puskesmas management and focus group discussions on posyandu workers regarding existing problems.

Based on the results of quantitative research, work, family support and dental and oral care needs of children were variables related to the utilization of the UKGM program at the posyandu. Whereas attitudes, family support and children's dental and oral care needs were the most significant variables in the utilization of the UKGM program at the posyandu. It is different from the results of a qualitative approach that shows that it is precisely the facilities that influence the utilization of the UKGM program. In addition, monitoring and evaluation have not been carried out routinely. Recommendations in this study are expected to complement facilities, especially counseling teaching aids and dental kits (diagnostic set), provide UKGM training to posyandu workers and conduct monitoring every month and evaluation every three months."
