Abstract: The prevalence of
caries in Indonesia reached 90,05 % and was higher compared to other developing
countries. In Central Java, the prevalence of dental caries expanded in the
range of 60 to 80 % of population. The aim of this study was to know the
relationship between level of knowledge and behavior of parents in the
frequency of bottle-feeding, length of each bottle-feeding, the addition of sugar
in milk, level of oral hygiene and the genesis of dental caries in preschool
students of Intan Aisyiyah, Makam Haji, Kartasura, Sukoharjo. This research was
a quantitative research with cross-sectional approach. The respondents of the
research were 59 preschool students. Sampling technique used was consecutive
sampling. Statistic test used was Chi Square test. The result showed that there
was a relationship between the level of mothers’ knowledge ( p = 0,001, PR =
3,313; CI 95 % = 1,948 - 5,636 ), the frequency of sugar addition (p = 0,061,
PR = 1,823; CI 95 % = 1,048 - 3,171 ), the length of each bottle-feeding ( p =
0,021, PR = 2,251; CI 95 % = 1,129 - 4,490 ),the level of oral hygiene ( p = 0,001,
PR = 14,185; CI 95 % = 3,855 - 56,926 ) and the genesis of dental caries.
Overall, there was not any correlation between the frequency of bottle-feeding
( p = 0,420, PR = 1,354; CI 95 % = 0,783 -2,342 ) and the genesis of dental
caries.
