Abstract: Mother's knowledge about children dental health is very important. It could be observed from some aspects such as knowledge of the causes of dental health problems, children dental care, dietary, and time schedule to the dentist. Def-t index is a measurement of the severity of dental caries in children. This study aimed to determine the relationship of mother's knowledge about the dental health and dental caries severity of kindergarten children in the town of Tahuna. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. There were 65 kindergarten children as samples. Data were collected by using a questionnaire and the def-t examination sheet. The results showed as follows: the mother's knowledge about the dental health of children of good category 93.8% and poor category 6.1%. The examination of the severity of dental caries resulted in 4.61% low severity category, 26.1% moderate severity category, 60% high severity category, and very high severity category 9.23%. The contingency coefficient correlation test showed a significance of 0.270 (> p = 0.05); therefore, the relationship was weak. Conclusion: There was no relationship between mother's knowledge about dental health of the children and caries severity of kindergarten children in the city of Tahuna.Keywords: def- t, severity of caries, knowledge of motherAbstrak: Pengetahuan ibu tentang kesehatan gigi anak menjadi salah satu hal yang penting di era sekarang ini. Pengetahuan ibu mengenai kesehatan gigi anak dapat dilihat dari beberapa aspek yaitu pengetahuan tentang penyebab masalah kesehatan gigi, akibat masalah kesehatan gigi, perawatan gigi anak, pengaturan makanan serta waktu memeriksakan gigi anak ke dokter gigi. Tingkat keparahan karies merupakan pengukuran seberapa parah karies gigi pada anak dengan menggunakan indeks def-t. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan ibu tentang kesehatan gigi terhadap tingkat keparahan karies anak TK di kota Tahuna. Jenis penelitan ini analitik dengan rancangan potong lintang. Jumlah sampel yang diambil dari beberapa TK di Kota Tahuna sebanyak 65 anak. Teknik pengumpulan data mengunakan kuesioner dan lembar pemeriksaan def-t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengetahuan ibu tentang kesehatan gigi anak di Kota Tahuna kategori baik 93,8% sedangkan kategori buruk 6,1 %. Pemeriksaan tingkat keparahan karies gigi mendapatkan kategori keparahan rendah 4,61%, kategori keparahan sedang 26,1%, kategori keparahan tinggi 60%, dan kategori keparahan sangat tinggi 9,23%. Hasil analisis menggunakan uji korelasi koefisien kontingensi mendapatkan hasil signifikansi 0,270 (> p = 0,05), yang menunjukkan hubungan yang terjadi lemah. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan ibu tentang kesehatan gigi anak dengan tingkat keparahan karies anak TK di Kota Tahuna.Kata kunci : def- t, tingkat keparahan karies, pengetahuan ibu

Objective: Fluoride has been an effective tool to prevent dental caries but efforts have been on to establish optimal level of fluoride in drinking water in different communities. The present study seeks to establish the safe and acceptable concentration of fluoride in drinking water which would lead to maximum caries protection with least amount of clinically observable dental fluorosis. Study Design: 30 villages from 2 districts of Haryana were classified according to differing levels of fluoride in the drinking water. 3007 school children(1558 males & 1449 female)] were examined and the DMFT score was related to the level of fluoride in drinking water. Results: The caries prevalence was maximum (48.02%) in the area having 0.50 ppm fluoride in drinking water. The children from area having the 1.13 ppm fluoride level had the least caries prevalence i.e. 28.07%. Conclusion: The results of the present study did not suggest any additional anticaries benefit beyond 1.13ppm fluoride level. The present investigation showed that the optimal fluoride levels for drinking water for our conditions were near 1.13ppm (1-1.2 ppm) as there was maximum caries protection with least amount of esthetically objectionable fluorosis at that level.

Objective: To describe the experience and prevalence of dental caries in schoolchildren aged 6–12 years belonging to agricultural manual worker households. Material and Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in two groups of schoolchildren: One considered “children of agricultural worker migrant parents” (n = 157) and the other “children of agricultural worker non-migrant parents” (n = 164). Epidemiological indices for dental caries were calculated for primary (dmft) and permanent (DMFT) dentitions, and compared in terms of age, sex, and the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (SOHI). Two binary logistic regression models for caries prevalence in primary and permanent dentitions were generated in Stata. Results: For primary dentition, we observed the following dmft index: Non-migrants = 1.73 ± 2.18 vs. migrants = 1.68 ± 2.14. Additionally, we recorded the following caries prevalence: Non-migrants = 59.1% vs. migrants = 51.3%. For permanent dentition, we observed the following DMFT index: Non-migrants = 0.32 ± 0.81 vs. migrants = 0.29 ± 0.95. Further, we recorded the following caries prevalence: Non-migrants = 17.6% vs. migrants = 12.8%. No differences were observed for either dentition (p > 0.05) in caries indices and their components or in caries prevalence. When both caries indices (dmft and DMFT) were combined, the non-migrant group had a higher level of caries experience than the migrant group (p < 0.05). No relationship (p > 0.05) with migrant status was observed in either multivariate models of caries prevalence. However, age did exhibit an association (p < 0.05) with caries. Only the plaque component of SOHI was associated (p < 0.05) with caries in permanent dentition. Conclusions: Although over half of school children from agricultural manual worker households had caries in either or both dentitions and a considerable proportion were untreated lesions, the prevalence levels were somewhat lower than other reports from Mexico in similar age groups. No statistically significant differences were found in caries experience or prevalence in either dentition between non-migrant and migrant groups.

Summary Study aim: Was to investigate the relationship of anthropometrics with handgrip strength (HGS) among Nigerian school children.Material and methods: A total of 200 school children participated in this study. An electronic handgrip dynamometer was used to measure handgrip strength (HGS) in kg. Body height and body weight were measured with a wall-mounted stadiometer in meters and a bathroom weighing scale in kg, respectively. Body mass index (BMI) was then calculated using the formula weight (kg)/height (m2). Also, hand span of both hands was measured from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the small finger with the hand opened as wide as possible. The distance from the distal wrist crease up to the base of the middle finger was taken for palm length and the distal wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger was considered for the measurement of hand length. However, the relationship between HGS and anthropometric parameters was analyzed using Pearson’s product moment coefficient of correlation.Results: The outcome of this study showed that hand and palm length correlated disproportionately and insignificantly (p > 0.05) with both dominant and non-dominant HGS. Also, hand span was found to be a disproportionate correlate of HGS, though such a correlation was only significant (p < 0.05) with dominant HGS. However, BMI and handedness were observed to associate proportionately and significantly (p < 0.05) with HGS.Conclusion: This study therefore concluded that the most important determinants of HGS among Nigerian school children are BMI, handedness and hand span, and thus could be considered as markers of nutritional and health status, as well as physical fitness of these individuals.
