Nutritional status is a condition of human�s health which is caused by consumption, absorption, and usage of food nutrition. The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between nutritional and caries status of female teenagers in SMAN 11 Yogyakarta This study used the cross-sectional approach. The subject of this research are 132 female teenagers (32 subject of 15 years old, 64 subjects of 16 years old, and 36 subjects of 17 years old) that have inclusion criteria which is taken by purposive sampling and quota sampling. Nutritional status is measured by anthropometric measurement (Body Mass Index, kg/m2). Caries Status is measured by DMFT. DMFT is an index that used to indicate the amount of decay (D), the amount of Missing teeth (M), the amount of Filled teeth (F). The data is analysed by Simple Linier Regresion and Multiple Linier Regression with 95% significant level. The results of this study shows that the BMI average of female teenagers age 15-17 years old in SMAN 11 Yogyakarta are normal based on Veterans Health Administration (2006) and the DMFT average of female teenangers age 15-17 years old in SMAN 11 Yogyakarta have a moderate classification based on WHO (2000).

Caries Risk Profiles amongst Preschool Aged Children Living in the Sleman District of Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Objective: To assess the caries risk factors of preschool aged children. Methods: Data was collected from a sample of 85 preschool children and their mothers. An interview, and a clinical and microbiology assessment was included in this study. Clinical examinations were performed to measure the dental caries experience and plaque visibility of the children and mothers. The presence and levels of Mutans Streptococci (MS) in the saliva was measured using a commercial kit by Dentocult SM and evaluated using the manufacturer’s chart. Results: Sixty-five children had a high risk of caries (76.5%), 12.9% had a low risk, and 10.6% had a moderate risk of caries. Active cavities were found in more than half of the mothers and children. The majority of the child subjects had a snacking habit between meals (85.9%). High risk scores of 2 and 3, indicating salivary levels of MS, was found in 41.1% of children. Fluoride exposure experienced by the study population was very limited. Conclusion: Results suggest that the majority of the population had a high caries risk. There was a high occurrence of teeth with cavities in children and active carious lesions in the mothers. There was a high frequency in snacking habits, the presence of plaque and bleeding gums, high levels of salivary MS, and low protective factors for the children. Results suggest that management of caries related factors are needed in order to prevent caries in the future.
