Abstract

Growing children need nutritious food to support their play and learning activities. However, the foods children consume often contain high amounts of sugar, which can increase the risk of dental caries. If a child’s nutritional needs are not met, this can affect their growth and development, including disruptions in the eruption of permanent teeth. This study aimed to examine the relationship between children’s nutritional status and the severity of dental caries as well as the eruption of permanent teeth in the lower jaw. This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 first- and second-grade students at SDN Tidung Elementary School in Makassar. The results showed that 85% of the children were underweight, 58.3% had dental caries (PUFA), and 86.7% had already experienced the eruption of permanent teeth in the lower jaw. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate tests, specifically the Mann-Whitney U test. The results of the bivariate analysis of children’s nutritional status in relation to the severity of dental caries (PUFA) yielded a p-value of 0.102, and the analysis of nutritional status in relation to permanent tooth eruption yielded a p-value of 0.206. Thus, there was no association between children’s nutritional status and dental caries or permanent tooth eruption in the lower jaw among first- and second-grade elementary school students.
