Oral hygiene is vital for dental and oral health because it is linked to local and systemic diseases. Dental plaque and calculus are the most contributing factors among the various causes of dental and oral problems. The OHI-S (simplified oral hygiene index) measures children's dental and oral health status. Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem, indicated by Z-Score is under -2 SD for height for age measurement according to the World Health Organization (WHO) child growth standard. One of the oral manifestations of stunting is impaired development of the salivary glands, even atrophy, so the buffering and self-cleansing abilities are reduced. This descriptive observational study aims to describe the OHI-S in stunted children. This study was conducted on 76 subjects. The study showed that 71% of subjects had poor OHI-S scores, 28% had moderate scores and only 1% of subjects with good scores. Male children dominated the poor OHI-S group. This study concludes that stunting can affect the OHI-S index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
