Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children have disturbances in communication, social inter-action, and behavior that limit them from doing simple self-care, such as maintaining dental and oral hygiene. This study aimed to explain the impact between dental and oral hygiene maintenance on Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in ASD children. This was an analytical and observational study with a cross sectional design. Samples were 65 parents/caregivers from the LRD Member Suar Autism community obtained by using purposive sampling. The questionnaire used for OHRQoL was the Fransiscan Hospital Oral Health Related Quality of Life (FHC-OHRQoL), and the dental and oral care questionnaire was in the form of Google form. The relationship between oral hygiene maintenance and OHRQoL was analyzed using the Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance correlation test and the Spearman Rank test. The results showed that the association between oral hygiene maintenance and OHRQoL as a whole was 97.1% (p<0.05). The relationship between OHRQoL domains (oral symptoms, children's daily life and parental attention) was 92.8% (p<0.05). The strongest correlation between oral symptoms and children's daily life was 65.61%. In conclusion, maintenance of oral hygiene as a whole has a high impact on OHRQoL, with a strong relationship between the OHRQoL domains, and children's daily life was the most influential one on oral symptoms.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan dampak pemeliharaan kebersihan gigi dan mulut terhadap Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) anak ASD. Jenis penelitian ialah observasional analitik dengan desain potong lintang. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan pusposive sampling. Jumlah sampel sebesar 65 orang tua/pengasuh dari komunitas LRD Member Suar Autism. Kuesioner penilaian OHRQoL yaitu The Fransiscan Hospital Oral Health Related Quality of Life (FHC-OHRQoL), dan kuesioner pemeliharaan gigi dan mulut dalam bentuk Google form. Keterkaitan pemeliharaan kebersihan gigi dan mulut dengan OHRQoL dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance dan Spearman Rank. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan keterkaitan pemeliharaan kebersihan gigi dan mulut dengan OHRQoL secara keseluruhan sebesar 97,1% (p<0,05). Keterkaitan domain OHRQoL (gejala oral, kehidupan sehari-hari anak dan perhatian orang tua) 92,8% (p<0,05). Keterkaitan paling kuat gejala oral dengan kehidupan sehari-hari anak 65,61% (p<0,05). Simpulan penelitian ini ialah pemeliharaan kebersihan gigi dan mulut secara keseluruhan berdampak besar terhadap OHRQoL, dengan keterkaitan yang besar di antara domain OHRQoL. Kehidupan sehari-hari anak ASD yang paling berpengaruh terhadap gejala oral. Kata kunci: pemeliharaan kebersihan gigi dan mulut; OHRQoL; anak ASD; persepsi orang tua

Objective: To explain the correlation between cariogenic (high sugar diet) with Food Neophobia (FN) in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children.  Material and Methods: This type of research is analytically observational with a cross-sectional design. Sampling technique purposive sampling, number of samples 65 respondents of parents/caregivers in LRD community members of suar autism. Data collection with a questionnaire for five eating patterns and FN three questions in the form of a Google Form. The data were analyzed descriptively, and the spearman rank correlation test was used to analyze the difference between diet and FN.  Results: Children consume one to two spoons of sugar per day 95.4%; like sweet food 80%, sweet food between meals 80%; soft drinks 49.2%; non-sweet snacks 56.9%. Based on the category of the frequency distribution of neophobia food levels in children with ASD were light 32.31%, moderate 30.77%, and heavy 36.92%. Spearman rank correlation test r=0.06 p>0.05 was 0.36%.  Conclusion: This research shows that diet pattern has a very low association with FN in children with autism spectrum disease.

Rchtionship b€tw€€n Duration ofBottle Feeding srd Occtusion in Primary Dentition Bottle-feeding period more than one year may influence the occlusion and will disturb th€ formation of strong muscle jaw. This effect will give an adverse result to permanent teeth. The type of malocclusion r€sulted Fom bad oral habit, may vary, depends on rhe rype of oral habit, inrensity, duration and frequency. The purpose of this study was to obs€rve the relarionship between duration ofbottle-fe€ding and occlusion of primary teeth. The following occlusion relationships examined were overbite, overjet, caninus relationshjp, and terminalplane. The design ofthis study was cross-s€ctional analytic, which was carried out in preschool children aged betwe€n 3-5 years old. The duration of bottle-feeding was categorized in 24 months,25-36 months, 37-48 months, and > 48 months. Overbite and overjet were measured fiom the cast using a digital caliper. Canjnus relationship and terminal plane were also measured tiom the cast. The result of p€arson Correlation test reveal€d a weak relationships between the period ofbortte-feeding and overbite (0,329) and overjet (r:0,3?2), whereas the result of Chi-Square lest, used to invesrigate the conelation between caninus (r:0, I I I) and terminal plane was not statistically significanr (r=0, I 70). Anova iest was carried out to observe th€ difference of overbite and overjet affecied by duration of boftle feeding. The resutt demonstrared an increase ofoverbite and overjet if durarion ofbonle,feeding was protonged. Tukey HSD test result on botrlefeeding duration and overbite shows sigrificant differences between group ofS 24 months, 25-36 months, and groups of3?-48 months, >48 months dufation. Mean while Tuk€y HSD tesr result on bottle-feeding duration ofl overjet shows significant difTerences between group of < 24 months, group 37-48 mounrhs. and > 48 mounths duration.

This community service activity is carried out in the form of activity (socialization) on how to educate and prepare children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (GSA) in brushing teeth and visiting dentists for dental care. This activity was conducted using the methods of lecturing, demonstration, and discussion with parents, caregivers and teachers of children with special needs for autism. This was carried out one day at the Bina Balita nursing home of Social Welfare Office of DKI Jakarta.

Introduction: Dental practitioners have numerous methods to control anxiety and pain in children, and distracting the child appears to be the most command technique used for behavior management during dental procedures. The audiovisual technique is used as a distraction method for reducing anxiety. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of using an audiovisual animation video and virtual reality distraction toward anxiety alteration on children age 7-10 years old on infiltration anesthesia. Method: The design of this study was pretest and post-test, thirty-two children were divided into two groups namely animation video group (n=16) and virtual reality groups distraction (n=16). Result: The efficacy of animation video distraction by 48,9% while using virtual reality is 43,75%. Data analysis using an independent t-test which results in a p-value less than 0,05 in which it was showed non-significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion: The two methods of distraction both animation video and virtual reality have the same effect on reducing anxiety in children age 7-10 years old on filtration anesthesia.
