Early childhood caries (ECC), dental caries affecting the primary teeth in preschool aged children, is prevalent, especially among low social economic groups in developing countries. Treatment of ECC in developing country is almost nonexistent, so that it can cause more serious complications. Untreated ECC can affect on quality of life in preschool aged children. This cross-sectional study aim was to evaluate association between untreated ECC and quality of life of preschool children (aged 3-5 years). This cross sectional study was conducted on September-October 2018 in playgroups/kindergartens in Ilir Barat I Subdistrict, Palembang and consisted of 334 preschool children-parent pairs. Untreated ECC was assessed by PUFA/pufa index and preschool children's quality of life by ECOHIS instrument. Association between untreated ECC and quality of life were analyzed using the Fisher's exact test with 95% CI. The result showed that ECC prevalence was 84.1% and the pufa was developed in 39.1% untreated ECC. There wasa significant association between untreated ECC and preschool children's quality of life (p<0,05). Children with ECC in this study had a good quality of life (95.2%), sufficient (4.2%), and bad (0.6%). Similarly, parents who had children with ECC had good quality of life (86.6%), sufficient (10.8%), and bad (2.4%). ECC that was not treated was statistically related to the quality of life of children and their parents (p <0.05). The conclusion of this study is that ECC that is not treated can affect the quality of life of children and their parents so that the ECC must be dealt with immediately.
AbstrakDiare merupakan salah satu penyebab utama kematian anak secara global. Air susu ibu (ASI) diketahui dapat mencegah diare pada anak sehingga World Health Organization merekomendasikan pemberian ASI eksklusif untuk seluruh bayi. Namun, cakupan ASI eksklusif di Indonesia masih rendah sehingga risiko diare pada anak masih tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai hubungan pola pemberian ASI dan diare pada anak usia 6-24 bulan. Penelitian observasional dengan studi potong lintang ini dilakukan tanggal 20 Januari-31 Januari 2017. pada 160 ibu dengan anak usia 6-24 bulan yang mendapat ASI yang datang ke posyandu di Puskesmas Talang Ubi, Kabupaten Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir. yang buka selama penelitian dilakukan, lahir tunggal, aterm, berat badan lahir ≥2.500 gram, gizi baik, tidak menderita kelainan kongenital. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner untuk mengetahui pola pemberian ASI dan MP ASI serta prevalensi, periode, dan lama diare dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Data dianalisis dengan uji kai-kuadrat, Fisher eksak, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVA, serta uji normalitas Kolmogorov Smirnov. Penelitian ini mendapatkan hubungan waktu inisiasi pemberian ASI, ASI eksklusif, lama pemberian ASI, serta frekuensi dan lamanya menyusui dengan prevalensi dan lama diare (p<0,05), tetapi tidak mendapatkan hubungan waktu inisiasi pemberian ASI, pemberian ASI eksklusif, lama pemberian ASI, frekuensi pemberian ASI, dan lama menyusui dengan frekuensi diare (p>0,05). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pola pemberian ASI dapat menurunkan prevalensi dan mempersingkat lama diare pada anak usia 6-24 bulan. [MKB. Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of global childhood mortality. Breast milk was known to have a protective role against childhood diarrhea that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendeds exclusive breastfeeding for all infants. However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still small, leading to a higher risk of childhood diarrhea. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between breastfeeding pattern, complementary feeding, prevalence, frequency, and diarrhea duration in children aged 6-24 months. This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in the period of 20 January-31 January 2017 on 160 mothers who brestfed their child who was, at the time of the study, 6-24 months old. These were children who visited the Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) of Talang Ubi Public Health Center (Puskesmas Talang Ubi), Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir district at the time of the study, singleton, full term, birth weight ≥2,500 grams, well-nourished, and did not have any congenital abnormalities. Data were obtained through questionnaires that collected information on breastfeeding pattern, complementary feeding, and the prevalence, frequency, and diarrhea duration in the last three months . Data were statistically analyzed using chi-square, Fisher's exact, Mann-Whitney U, KruskalWallis, and ANOVA tests as well as Kolmogorov Smirnov normality test. This study found the correlation between breastfeeding init...
Increased levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone in the blood during pregnancy can cause gingivitis due to vascular changes that cause the gingiva to become more sensitive especially to toxins and other irritants, such as plaques and calculus, which causes the gingiva to become easily inflamed. Pregnancy can also aggravate gingivitis due to the excessive inflammatory response of the gingiva to dental plaque and hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. This study aims to determine the differences in the degree of gingivitis in pregnant women in each trimester of gestational age. This study was a cross-sectional study conducted in April 2019 on 80 pregnant women with gingivitis who examined their pregnancies at the Puskesmas Merdeka Palembang during the fourth week of March 2019. The relationship between the degree of gingivitis in each trimester of pregnancy was analyzed using Fisher's exact test with 95% confidence interval. The results showed that gingivitis was found most frequently in third trimester pregnancy (47.5%) and mild gingivitis, mostly experienced by pregnant women in trimester II pregnancy (52.6%), while moderate and severe gingivitis was more experienced by trimester pregnant women III (50% and 81.8%). The statistical test results showed a significant relationship between the gestational age and severity of gingivitis (p 0.05). It can be concluded that increasing gestational age is related to the increasing severity of gingivitis.
Background: Smoking is one of the bad habits that are often encountered in everyday life. Smoking habits can cause various diseases in the body, one of which is gingivitis or gingivitis. Gingivitis is usually characterized by changes in the color and texture of the gingiva/gums in accordance with the continuous increase in the inflammatory process. Objective: To find out the description of gingivitis in adolescent smokers in Kuang Dalam Timur Village, Rambang Kuang District, Ogan Ilir Regency in 2021. Methods: This is a descriptive study. The sample size in this study were 60 people who were taken using total sampling technique. Results: In all respondents with a duration of smoking <5 years to >10 years, most of them experienced moderate gingivitis, and in all types of smokers, most of them also experienced moderate gingivitis but in heavy smokers there was no normal (healthy) gingiva. Most of the filter smokers suffer from moderate gingivitis (47%) and the non-filter smokers mostly have severe gingivitis (57%) and there is no normal gingiva. Mild gingivitis mostly affects the lower jaw (44%), moderate gingivitis mostly affects the upper jaw (37%), and severe gingivitis affects both the lower and upper jaws. Conclusion: The duration of smoking and the number of cigarettes smoked tend to aggravate gingivitis. Non-filter cigarettes are more likely to cause gingivitis than filter cigarettes. The degree of gingivitis affects the extent of the gingival area affected.
Rapid economic growth makes competition and competition in the business world even tighter, as well as businesses in health services, which are required to be able to meet the needs and desires of patients who are not only limited to their services.
