Background : Dot, yang juga dikenal sebagai dummy, soother atau pacifier, adalah pengganti puting susu (ibu) yang biasanya terbuat dari karet atau plastik. Minum susu menggunakan dot menjelang tidur mulai menjadi kebiasaan yang sering kita jumpai. Padahal kebiasaan itu akan beresiko pada gigi anak. pada saat tidur kandungan gula dari minuman akan tersimpan dan menggenang lama di dalam mulut.  Dari situlah bakteri akan tumbuh subur pada lubang gigi.  Ditambah saat anak tidur air liur akan mengalami pengurangan. Jadi, genangan air minum mengandung gula tertahan oleh dot diantara lidah, gigi, langit-langit dan disekitar bibir . Hal seperti itulah gigi anak menjadi berlubang. Sindrom tersebut di dalam medis disebut nursing bottle caries atau Early Childhood CariesObjectivies : Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui Dampak Penggunan Dot Terhadap Sindrom Early Childhood Caries pada Anak usia 3-6 tahun di TK Nurul Huda Desa. Gedongboyountung Kec. Deket Kab. Lamongan.Design : Desain penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan menggunakan rancangan cross sectional study ( study potong lintang) Populasinya adalah semua murid di TK Nurul Huda yaitu sebanyak 54 anak. Sampel dipilih secara Purposive Sampling. Analisa data terdiri dari a). Analisa Univariat untuk mengetahui distribusi frekuensi dari setiap variable independent, b) Analisa Bivariat untuk mengetahui hubungan antara variable independent. Dalam analisa ini dilakukan pengujian analitik dengan uji chi-square (α = 0.05).Result : Hasil uji chi-square test di atas didapatkan nilai signifikansi p-value sebesar 0.000. Karena nilai signifikansi 0.000 < (0.05) maka  H0 ditolak H1 diterima artinya ada Dampak Penggunan Dot Terhadap Sindrom Early Childhood Caries pada Anak usia 3-6 tahun di TK Nurul Huda Desa. Gedongboyountung Kec. Deket Kab. LamonganConclusion : Dapat menambah pengetahuan dan wawasan orangtua mengenai pola asuh orangtua yang tidak tepat dalam pemberian susu botol terhadap terjadinya early chilhood caries. Serta memberikan masukan agar diadakan program penyuluhan kesehatan rongga mulut di kalangan orangtua, anak dan guru sekolah agar langkah pencegahan terhadap karies bisa dilakukan sejak dini

Pendahuluan: Early childhood caries (ECC) merupakan karies yang mengenai gigi sulung pada anak-anak dibawah usia 71 bulan. Pemerintah Indonesia menargetkan anak dibawah usia 12 tahun bebas karies pada tahun 2030. Tahun 2017 prevalensi ECC pada anak usia 2-3 tahun di Bukittinggi adalah 51.5%.Hal ini masih sangat jauh dari target pemerintah Indonesia. Pola minum susu dan pola makan merupakan faktor resiko karies. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis hubungan antara pola minum susu  dengan early childhood caries. Metode: Jenis penelitian deskriptif dengan cross-sectional study di Posyandu Bukittinggi. Subyek dipilih secara multistage random sampling sebanyak 146 pasang ibu dan anak dengan rentang umur 2 sampai 5 tahun. Pola minum susu diobservasi menggunakan kuesioner pada ibu sedangkan ECC diperiksa secara visual. Data dikumpulkan dan dianalisa dengan chi square test dengan nilai kepercayaan 95%. Data diambil oleh enam orang dokter gigi muda pada Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Andalas yang telah dikalibrasi sebelumnya. Data dianalisis menggunakan chi-square test. Hasil: Prevalensi ECC di Bukittinggi adalah 101 (69,2%) dengan indeks def-t rata-rata 3,00 ± SD 4,02 pada 95% CI (3,23 – 4,54). Sampel dengan ASI ekslusif 74 (50,7%) mempunyai indeks def-t lebih rendah dibanding non-ekslusif (3,70 vs. 4,07) dengan nilai p=0,678. Sampel dengan ASI dan makanan pendamping 68 (46,6%) mempunyai indeks def-t lebih rendah dibanding non ASI dan MP (3,51 vs. 4,21) dengan p=0,787. Simpulan: Secara statitik tidak terdapat pengaruh pola minum air susu ibu terhadap terjadinya early childhood caries pada anak di bawah usia lima tahun, namun kejadian early childhood caries lebih rendah pada pemberian ASI ekslusif dibandingkan dengan ASI non ekslusif.Kata kunci: ASI, early childhood caries, indeks def-t, makanan pendamping, prevalensi. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Early childhood caries (ECC) are caries that affect primary teeth in children under 71 months of age. The Indonesian government is targeting children under 12 years of age to be free from caries by 2030. In 2017, ECC prevalence in children aged 2-3 years in Bukittinggi was 51.5%. This data is still very far from the target of the Indonesian government. The pattern of milk consumption and dietary habit are caries risk factors. This research aimed to analyse the relationship between breast milk consumption pattern and early childhood caries. Methods: This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional study at Bukittinggi Integrated Healthcare Centre (Posyandu). The subjects were selected by multistage random sampling, which obtained as many as 146 pairs of mothers and children aged 2 to 5 years. The breast milk consumption pattern was observed using a mother’s questionnaire while the ECC was examined visually. Data were collected and analysed using the chi-square test with a confidence value of 95%. Six young dentists took the data at the Faculty of Dentistry Andalas University who had been calibrated before. Data were analysed using the chi-square test. Results: The prevalence of ECC in Bukittinggi was 101 (69.2%) with the def-t index mean of 3.00 ± SD 4.02 at 95% CI (3.23 - 4.54). Samples with exclusive breastfeeding 74 (50.7%) had a lower def-t index than non-exclusive (3.70 vs 4.07) with the p-value=0.678. Samples with breast milk and complementary foods was 68 (46.6%), which showed a lower def-t index than non-breast milk and complementary food (3.51 vs 4.21) with p=0.787. Conclusion: Statistically, there is no effect of the pattern of breast milk consumption on the occurrence of early childhood caries in children under the age of five years, however, the incidence of early childhood caries is lower in exclusive breastfeed-ing children compared to non-exclusive breastfeeding.Keywords: Breast milk, early childhood caries, def-t index, complementary food, prevalence.

ABSTRACT Introduction Early childhood caries (ECC) is a virulent form of dental caries that can destroy the primary dentition of toddlers and preschool children. The aim was to determine the relationship of feeding methods and oral Streptococcus mutans count in 3- to 5-year-old children with ECC. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in children aged 3 to 5 years. Participating mothers were interviewed regarding child's demographic profile, educational level and socioeconomic status of parents, past medical and dental history of the mother and child, child's feeding habits, and dietary habits and oral hygiene practices of mother and child. Clinical examination for dental caries was done using the World Health Organization criteria (1997). Salivary samples of mother–child pair were collected to determine the pH, flow rate, and S. mutans count. Statistical tests, such as Student's t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation were applied. Results Out of 150 mother–child pair, statistically significant difference in the caries experience was found between mothers and children with high and low S. mutans count. Moderate but statistically significant negative correlation was found between mean decayed, missing, and filled teeth of mothers and mean decayed, extracted and filled teeth (deft) of children with high S. mutans count. Regarding deft, there was no statistically significant difference between children who were exclusively breast fed (7.85 ± 2.94), exclusively bottle-fed (8.67 ± 3.98), and both breast and bottle-fed (7.77 ± 2.91). Conclusion The mean caries experience of mothers and children was 2.66 ± 2.01 and 7.82 ± 2.94 respectively, with decayed component being maximum. Moderate and significant correlation (r = 0.5) was found between S. mutans of mothers and children in saliva. Significant negative correlation was found between mothers and children with high S. mutans count (r = –0.0284; p = 0.046).
