Abstract: Dental caries is a disease of dental hard tissue characterised by demineralization of the inorganic substances and dissolving of the organic substances. The prevalence of dental caries in pre-school children is still high which may due to the improper way of teeth brushing as well as consuming cariogenic foods. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dental decidious caries status among pre-school children in Malalayang district, Manado. This was a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional approach. This study was carried out in July 2012. The data were obtained by using questionnaires and observation. The population in this study was all kindergarten pupils (788 children) in Malalayang district and the number of samples were 90 children. Data were obtained from primary and secondary data. The results showed that the prevalence of dental caries was 90% with the average index def-t = 6.99. Conclusion: There was a very high prevalence of dental caries among kindergarten pupils in Malalayang district, Manado. Keywords: prevalence, dental decidious caries, pre-school children.     Abstrak: Karies gigi adalah penyakit jaringan keras gigi yang ditandai dengan terjadinya demineralisasi substansi anorganik dan penghancuran substansi organik.

Aim: Objectives: To analyze variations in dental arch width in relation to oral habits.   Materials and Methods : Cross sectional  study was carried out Department of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics of Dhaka Dental College & Hospital, Dhaka with a total number of 600 primary school children of 3-6 years ages of Bangladeshi population. Results: This study was a cross sectional study conducted among the 600 children with 3-6 years old prima- ry school children of Bangladeshi population. According to present study, bottle feeding causes significant reduction in maxillary intercanine width and mouth breathers show significant reduction of both arches. Conclusion: It was observed that the children who had used a bottle had a significant reduction in maxillary intercanine width. Breathing through mouth appeared to be associated with a reduction in the size of both arches. This was more significant in the maxillary intercanine , mandibular  intercanine and mandibular molar widths. Therefore to prevent malocclusions, the public should be informed of the harm caused by certain oral habits, the benefits of breast-feeding, and the need to correct bad habits at early life.
