“…Similar findings were seen by Rai B, 13 Mishra FM 14 and Mosha HJ 15 who in their studies also reported increased caries prevalence for females. The results of the present study were not in agreement with the study done by Sudha P, Bhasin S and Anegundi RT 16 as they reported increased prevalence of dental caries for males. Also the study conducted by Gathecha G et al 17 revealed that the difference in prevalence of dental caries between boys and girls was not significant.…”

Introduction: The present study was conducted to assess the prevalence of dental caries in 6-12 years old school going children in various districts of Uttarakhand including those visiting the OPD of the Department of Pedodontics and to correlate the caries status of the study population with the caries related factors. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on a sample size of approximately 1200 school going children (both males and females) aged 6-12 years. Oral examination of the children was performed and data was recorded with the help of Questionnaire which contained queries regarding the demographic details, oral hygiene habits, frequency of snacking and visits to the dentist. The findings of the present study were then recorded and analysed statistically. Results and Conclusion:The results of the present epidemiological study revealed that prevalence of dental caries was more in females, more in age group of 11-12 years children. It was noted that the children who did not brush their teeth or brushed once a day had a higher prevalence of caries. It was also seen that caries prevalence was more in children who consumed sweets and candy twice a day and in children who visited the dentist irregularly or had never visited a dentist.

“…5 The prevalence of dental caries was found to be higher in deciduous and lower in permanent dentition which is similar to other studies. 9,12 This could be due to increased awareness of oral hygiene with increasing age and greater resistant property of permanent teeth to caries process than the primary teeth. 13 But this finding is in contrast to another study.…”

Background & Objectives: Worldwide, 60 to 90% of school children have experienced dental caries with higher prevalence in Asian and Latin American countries and poor dental and oral health and untreated oral disease can have a significant impact on quality of life according to WHO report. The objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence of dental caries both in deciduous and permanent teeth and to compare total decayed, filled teeth surfaces among primary school children of Kathmandu from both government and private schools and to find the percentage of first permanent molars affected with dental caries.Materials & Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among two Government and two Private Primary School Children in Kathmandu district. Total sample were 468 children. Required permission were obtained from concerned authorities. WHO accepted indices for assessing caries designed by Henry T Klein, Carrole E Palmer and Knutson J.W was used. SPSS 20 version software was used for data analysis. Results: Among 468 primary school children examined, 224 were from Government and 244 were from Private school. The prevalence of dental caries was 62 % and more deciduous teeth were decayed. The decayed, filled teeth surfaces in Private and Government school was statistically significant (p=0.000) but gender wise prevalence was statistically insignificant (p=0.303). Among 1st Permanent Molars teeth examined 85% were decayed.Conclusion: This pilot study shows prevalence of dental caries more in deciduous teeth. Among the permanent teeth affected, first permanent molars are in high number.

“…Hal-hal yang dapat diupayakan untuk mencegah karies bertambah parah pada usia ini adalah dengan melakukan tindakan pencegahan primer specific protection berupa aplikasi topikal fluor dan atau pit and fissure sealant pada gigi permanen muda yang dapat dilakukan oleh tenaga profesional kesehatan gigi. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Berbeda dengan gigi permanen, maka pada gigi sulung karies paling banyak ditemukan pada permukaan mesial, diikuti oleh permukaan distal, atau dengan kata lain permukaan proksimal lebih banyak mengalami kerusakan dibandingkan dengan permukaan oklusal pada gigi sulung. Hal ini berhubungan dengan faktor diet dan kebersihan mulut.…”

“…Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Bhagat dan Shresta (2014) 10 , yang mendapatkan prevalensi karies pada anak sekolah di Nepal juga tinggi. WHO menyebutkan bahwa pada 32% anak berusia 12 tahun, atau pada usia akhir periode gigi campuran, ditemukan 3 atau lebih gigi yang berlubang, sedangkan pada anak-anak dan orang dewasa terdapat karies gigi antara 60-90%.…”

Riset Kesehatan Dasar tahun 2013 menunjukkan status karies gigi masyarakat masih tinggi. Banyak orang beranggapan bahwa gigi sulung tidak perlu dirawat karena akan digantikan oleh gigi permanen sehingga kurang memperhatikan kesehatan gigi sulung anak, akibatnya keadaan gigi sulung yang dijumpai di praktek dokter gigi seringkali sudah mengalami kerusakan parah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendapatkan data mengenai karakteristik karies periode gigi campuran pada anak usia 6-7 tahun, sebagai dasar penelitian karies gigi lebih lanjut. Metode: Jenis penelitian adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi adalah anak usia 6-7 tahun dan siswa SD kelas 1 di Kecamatan Tanjungsari, Sumedang. Teknik purposive sampling mendapatkan subyek penelitian sejumlah 52 anak usia 6-7 tahun yang merupakan siswa kelas 1 dari salah satu SD. Instrumen penelitian yaitu: sinar lampu, kaca mulut, sonde, alat tulis dan formulir pemeriksaan. Data hasil pemeriksaan diolah menggunakan program Excel Office. Hasil: Permukaan gigi permanen yang paling banyak mengalami karies adalah oklusal, sedangkan pada gigi sulung adalah permukaan mesial. Kedalaman karies yang paling banyak ditemukan pada gigi permanen adalah superfisial, sedangkan pada gigi sulung adalah profunda. Ditemukan sejumlah 22 gigi permanen mengalami kerusakan, 343 gigi sulung mengalami kerusakan dan 108 gigi sulung hilang karena karies.

Many people assume that deciduous teeth do not need to be treated because they will be replaced by permanent teeth so that they pay less attention to the child's primary teeth, and the condition of the primary teeth found in dental practice often has suffered severe damage. The purpose of this study was to obtain the characteristics of caries in mixed dentition period in children aged 6-7 years. Method: The research method is descriptive with cross sectional approach. The population was children aged 6-7 years and grade 1 elementary school students in Tanjungsari sub-district, Sumedang. The purposive sampling technique obtained the research subjects as many as 52 children. The research instruments were: white light, dental miror, sonde, stationery and examination forms.
