Kepatuhan Menyikat Gigi Karies Gigi Anak Sekolah Dasar Kesehatan Gigi dan Mulut

Abstrak

Karies gigi masih menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang paling umum terjadi pada anak usia sekolah dasar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kepatuhan menyikat gigi dua kali sehari dengan kejadian karies gigi pada siswa SD Negeri Cisintok tahun 2026. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Sebanyak 85 siswa kelas I–VI dipilih sebagai responden menggunakan teknik proportional stratified random sampling. Data kepatuhan menyikat gigi dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner tertutup, sedangkan data karies gigi diperoleh melalui lembar observasi berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan gigi. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan tingkat signifikansi 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki kepatuhan yang rendah dalam menyikat gigi dua kali sehari, dan kejadian karies gigi ditemukan pada lebih dari separuh responden. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara kepatuhan menyikat gigi dua kali sehari dengan kejadian karies gigi (p-value < 0,05). Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi kepatuhan siswa dalam menyikat gigi dua kali sehari, semakin rendah kejadian karies gigi yang dialami.
