ABSTRAKKaries gigi merupakan masalah kesehatan global dan penyakit gigi paling tinggi
prevalensinya. Perilaku pemeliharaan kebersihan gigi dan pola konsumsi adalah
salah satu etiologi karies gigi. Tujuan penelitian adalah mendapatkan nilai besar
risiko karies gigi dan perilaku kesehatan gigi. Disain studi cross-sectional
menggunakan data Riskesdas 2013. Jumlah sampel 5.496 anak usia 12 tahun.
Prevalensi karies adalah 50,4%. Besar risiko anak yang memiliki kombinasi kedua
perilaku tidak baik, adalah 1,99 kali (95% CI: 1,20-3,30) untuk mendapat karies
dibanding anak dengan kombinasi perilaku baik. Sedangkan risiko anak yang
memiliki kebiasaan menyikat gigi tidak pada waktu yang benar sebesar 1,75 kali
(1,06-2,87), dan anak yang memiliki kebiasaan makan manis sering sebesar 1,27
kali (95% CI: 0,53-3,02) untuk mendapat karies. Untuk menurunkan angka
kejadian karies gigi, diharapkan masyarakat dan pemerintah dapat bersama-sama
aktif membentuk perilaku kesehatan gigi yang baik melalui program-program
promosi kesehatan dan pencegahan penyakit gigi.
ABSTRACTDental caries is a global public health problem and most prevalent oral disease.
Oral hygiene and sweet consumption are acknowledged as dental caries causes,
among others. The study purpose is to determine the magnitude of association
between dental caries and oral health care behavior. The study design was crosssectional
using Riskesdas 2013 data. Sample size was 5,496 children of 12 yearsold.
Result: The dental caries prevalence was 50.4%. Compared to those with
good both oral health care behaviors, children with a combination of poor
behaviors was associated with caries 1.99 times (95% CI: 1.20-3.30). Whilst,
children who brushed their teeth at the inappropriate time or had sweet
consumption more often, had risk of getting caries of 1.75 times (1.06-2.87) and
1.27 times (95% CI: 0.53-3.02) respectively. The role of community is as
important as the government?s, in implementing health promotion and preventive
programmes for shaping good oral health behaviors, in order to decrease dental
caries incidence in children.;Dental caries is a global public health problem and most prevalent oral disease.
