ABSTRAKPeningkatan prevalensi karies gigi terutama disebabkan karena adanya
perubahan-perubahan dalam pola makan dari makanan berserat menjadi makanan mudah
melekat pada permukaan gigi. Bila seseorang malas untuk membersihkan giginya setelah
makan makanan yang manis dan lengket, maka sisa-sisa makanan tersebut akan diubah
menjadi asam oleh bakteri yang terdapat dalam mulut, kemudian dapat mengakibatkan
terjadinya karies gigi. Menurut Matram (2007), berdasarkan SKRT 2004, penyebab
tingginya prevalensi karies hanya sedikit orang Indonesia mengerti cara menyikat gigi
benar (10%). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melihat pengaruh kebiasaan menyikat gigi
terhadap status pengalaman karies dengan menganalisis data Rriskesdas 2007. Dalam
Penelitian ini terdapat 198.023 responden berusia 35 tahun ke atas yang diperiksa
giginya Desain penelitian cross sectional, populasi adalah seluruh penduduk
Indonesia tahun 2007. Analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi logistik ganda. Hasil
penelitian berdasarkan distribusi frekuensi karakteristik responden, responden yang
mempunyai gigi yang sehat, DMF-T = 0 adalah hanya 11,76 % dan responden yang
mengalami kerusakan gigi atau DMF-T 1 adalah sebanyak 88,24%. Prevalensi
pengalaman karies paling tinggi terjadi pada kelompok umur 65 tahun ke atas yaitu
96,51%. Pada kelompok yang menyikat gigi 1x/hari 1,063 kali berisiko terjadinya
kerusakan gigi dibanding sikat gigi 2x/hari. Kelompok yang jarang menyikat gigi
1,23 kali berisiko terjadinya kerusakan gigi dibandingkan yg sikat gigi 2x/hari.
Setelah dikontrol oleh variabel umur, jenis kelamin, pendidikan dan pekerjaan.
Sebaiknya masyarakat menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulutnya dengan rajin menyikat
gigi 2 kali sehari yaitu setelah makan pagi dan sebelum tidur malam untuk dapat
mengurangi terjadinya karies gigi.
ABSTRACTIncreased prevalence of dental caries was due to changes in dietary fiber foods into
food from easily attached to the tooth surface. When someone lazy to clean his teeth
after eating sweet or sticky foods, the leftovers will be converted into acid by bacteria
contained in the mouth, and can cause dental caries. According Matram (2007), based
on the 2004 Household Health Survey, the cause of the high prevalence of caries in
Indonesia that few people understand how to brush teeth correctly (10%). The
purpose of this study is to see the effect of tooth brushing habits of the status of caries
experience by analyzing the data Riskesdas 2007. In this study there were 198 023
respondents aged 35 years and over who checked his teeth cross sectional study
design, population is the entire population of Indonesia in 2007. The analysis used is
multiple logistic regression. The results based on the frequency distribution
characteristics of respondents, respondents who have healthy teeth, DMF-T = 0 is
only 11.76% and the respondents who experienced damage to their teeth or DMF-T
1 is as much as 88.24%. The highest prevalence of caries experience occurred at age
group 65 years and over is 96.51%. In the group that tooth brushing 1 times/day
1.063 times the risk of tooth decay than two times/day toothbrush. Groups who rarely
brush my teeth 1.23 times the risk of tooth decay compared to toothbrush who
2times/day. Once controlled by the variables of age, gender, education and
employment. Community should maintain healthy teeth and mouth with diligent
brushing their teeth two times a day after breakfast and before bedtime to reduce the
occurrence of dental caries.;Increased prevalence of dental caries was due to changes in dietary fiber foods into
