Background: Pregnant women usually suffer from gingivitis due to an increase in progesterone and estrogen hormones followed by hypervascularization. As the result, gingiva becomes more sensitive to plaque and calculus. Pregnant women in Trimester II began to experience gingivitis and would get worse in the trimester III. As known, gingivitis in pregnant women may be affected by age of pregnancy, occupation and education level. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence of gingivitis in pregnant women at RSUD Klungkung, related to age of pregnancy, occupation and education. Methods: This research was a descriptive study using cross sectional study approach. Sample in this study was 85 people using consecutive sampling technique. Data collection was done by giving questionnaire and screening to pregnant women to know their gingival score. Result: The results of this study showed that most of pregnant women in trimester I experienced gingivitis score 1 (57,9%), trimester II gingivitis score 2 (65,5%), and trimester III gingivitis score 3 (83,8%). Pregnant women who did not work had more gingivitis (42%) than pregnant women who worked (37.1%). Pregnant women with lower education level experienced more gingivitis (92.8%) than pregnant women with higher education level (75%). Conclusion:The number of gingivitis in pregnant women is increasing as their age of pregnancy, where the ginggivitis score in trimester I is better than trimester III. This result also correlated with age of pregnancy, occupation and educationlevel.
Introduction: Oral hygiene is one of important determinant for health as oral hygiene could affect various important functions such as speech, masticatory function and aesthetic. Students of dentistry in particular should able to apply the knowledge and behavior of maintaining healthy teeth and mouth of their own. The purpose of this study is to know the relation between knowledge and behaviour of maintaining dental health with oral hygiene of Dentistry Student at Medical Faculty of Udayana University. Method: Research method was analytical observational using cross sectional design. The subject of research was selected by total sampling method on Dentistry Student at Medical Faculty of Udayana University, thus 100 students were selected through inclusion and exclusion criterias. This research was conducted by giving questionnaire covering questions about knowledge and behavior and Oral Hygiene Index Smplified (OHI-S) was used as examination tool and as an indicator in asessing oral hygiene. Result: Significance correlation was documented for relationship between knowledge and oral hygiene using Chi-square test (p=0.026) and similar result also documented between oral hygiene and behavior of maintaining oral hygiene (p=0.006). Conclusion: From those results in this study, could be concluded that there is a relationship between knowledge and behaviour of maintaining dental health with oral hygiene on Dentistry Student at Medical Faculty of Udayana University.
Background: The most common dental and oral diseases in Indonesia is caries. 7-9 years old is the age with highest dental and mouth problems in Indonesia. There are four main factors interacting in caries formation such as: host, substrate/diet, bacteria/microorganism and time. Saliva is one of the host factors that cause caries. There are several factors that influence the composition and salivary concentration such as volume and degree of acidity (pH) of saliva.The purpose of this experiment was to determine the relationship between volume and degree of acidity (pH) saliva with the occurrence of dental caries on children between 7-9 years old in Sekolah Dasar Negeri 5 Sumerta Denpasar, Bali.Methods: The study design used was cross-sectional analytic. The samples were children between 7-9 years old in Sekolah Dasar Negeri 5 Sumerta Denpasar, Bali. Sampling techniques using consecutive sampling technique of 65 children. Samples who have been allowed by their parents through informed consent, calculated the amount of their saliva volume and degree of acidity (pH), then examined the oral cavity to know the index of dental caries. The analytical test using chi-square methods.Result: The analytical test showed a value p = 0.041 for relation between volume saliva with the occurrence of dental caries and p = 0.028 for relation between salivary pH with the occurrence of dental caries.Conclusion: there is correlation between volume and degree of acidity (pH) of saliva with the occurrence of dental caries incidence on children between 7-9 years old in Sekolah Dasar Negeri 5 Sumerta Denpasar, Bali.

Terdapat empat faktor utama yang saling berinteraksi dalam pembentukan karies yaitu host, substrat/diet, bakteri/mikroorganisme dan waktu. Saliva merupakan salah satu host yang menjadi faktor penyebab karies. Terdapat beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi komposisi dan konsentrasi saliva antara lain volume dan derajat keasaman (pH) saliva. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan volume dan derajat keasaman (pH) saliva terhadap kejadian karies anak usia 7-9 tahun di Sekolah Dasar Negeri 5 Sumerta Denpasar, Bali.Metode: Desain penelitian menggunakan cross-sectional analitik. Sampel penelitian adalah anak Sekolah Dasar usia 7-9 tahun di Sekolah Dasar Negeri 5 Sumerta Denpasar, Bali.
