Abstract :
Adolescence is a stage in human life which is
often referred to as puberty, namely the transition period
between childhood and adulthood. At this stage, teenagers
will experience physical development. This is one of the
most common causes of gingivitis in teenagers. One of the
hormonal factors that is a secondary or predisposing factor
for gingivitis is hormonal imbalance, namely an increase in
endocrine hormones in adolescence. Increased hormone
levels at this age can cause vasodilation resulting in
increased blood circulation in the gingival tissue and
sensitivity to local irritants, such as bacterial plaque
biofilm, resulting in pubertal gingivitis. Pubertal gingivitis
is a typical type of gingivitis that sometimes develops in
children and puberty with little or even very little plaque
(Linda Suryani, 2021 Loc.Cit). This type of research is
quantitative research with methods analytical correlation
using a cross sectional approach. The correlation analytical
method in this research was used to measure the
relationship (correlation) between the level of knowledge,
and dental and oral care habits of adolescents with
gingivitis. Sampling is carried out using techniques
purposive sampling.
Level of dental and oral care knowledge among
teenagers in class VIII SMPN 2 Tellu Limpoe 81,8% in the
poor category, 13.6% in the medium category, and 4,6%
in the good category. Meanwhile, 13,6% of dental and oral
care habits are in the bad category, 81,8% are in the bad
category moderate, and 4,6% in the good category. Then
there is no relationship between knowledge of dental and
oral care with the occurrence of gingivitis as well as dental
and oral care habits with the occurrence of gingivitis in
adolescents in class VIII SMPN 2 Tellu Limpoe.
To increase knowledge and encourage more habits
both in dental and oral care are expected to be skilled
health centers to provide health education teeth and mouth
at school.
