The Correlation Between Children Who Use Bottle Feeding Ages 4 - 6 Years Against The Malocclusion

Abstract

ABSTRACT
 Background: The prevalence of malocclusion in Indonesia is still very high at around 80% of the population and is one of the major dental and oral health problems, this is coupled with a low level of dental care awareness. The prevalence of malocclusion because of the habit of drinking milk with bottle feedings was 49.5% of 377 children. This is habit because, the habit of drinking milk with a bottle feeding causes the movement of the baby's tongue like a sucking motion. This abnormal tongue motor activity will result in aberrant swallowing habits which will eventually cause malocclusion. Purpose: To determine the correlation between children using bottle feeding aged 4 - 6 years to the occurrence of malocclusion. Methods: This study uses the Analytical Observational method with a cross sectional study design. The sample consisted of 30 children aged 4 - 6 years who met the criteria of the study determined by filling out questionnaires and intra-oral examination of samples Result: The result of Spearman's correlation statistical test, obtained the correlation coefficient value (r=0.435) which shows a moderate correlation. The results of the linear regression test to see if there are long-term effects of using a bottle feeding on the occurrence of malocclusion, obtained a value (p <0.05) which shows a significant effect. Conclusion: There is a moderate correlation between children who use bottle feedings aged 4-6 years to malocclusion. The longer children use bottle feeding, the more severe the malocclusion of children.

HUBUNGAN PENGGUNAAN DOT TERHADAP MALOKLUSI PADA GIGI DESIDUI (Literature Review)

“…5 Penelitian lain oleh Zimmer, (2016) yang meneliti tentang perbedaan dot konvensional dan dot ortodontik menyatakan bahwa dari 129 sampel dengan rata-rata durasi anak menggunakan dot yaitu 4 jam dalam sehari didapatkan hasil bahwa pemakaian dot konvensional pada anak meningkatkan risiko anterior openbite (86,6%) dibandingkan dengan pemakaian dot ortodontik pada anak. 19 Diperoleh hasil rata-rata durasi pemakaian dot konvensional 2 jam lebih lama dibandingkan dengan dot ortodontik, akibatnya kasus anterior openbite lebih banyak dialami pada anak yang menggunakan dot konvensional dibandingkan dengan dot ortodontik.…”

“…21 Berdasarkan analisis dari jurnal yang telah ditinjau ulang menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata durasi pemakaian dot yang dapat menyebabkan maloklusi yaitu penggunaan selama 4-6 jam perhari, digunakan mulai anak berusia 3 bulan pertama kehidupannya dengan frekuensi penggunaan dot 5 kali sehari. 5,18,19 Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan dot dengan durasi yang lama dan frekuensi yang sering dapat meningkatkan maloklusi pada gigi desidui.…”
