Abstract

Introduction: Stunting can cause malnutrition in children and affect bone growth. Bone growth in stunted children will be inhibited, including periodontal bone maturation. Delay in maturation of the periodontal bone will delay tooth eruption. This study analyses the relationship between stunting and children characteristics that consists of age, gender, parental education, occupation, and income to teeth eruption status in 9-12 years old children in Tuah Negeri sub-district. Methods: This study is a cross-sectionalstudy with 110 children aged 9-12 years old from elementary schools in Tuah Negeri District as samples. Stunting was determined based on anthropometric measure�ments by measuring height by age. Oral examination was carried out to see the teeth eruption in children according to their age group. The rest of characteristics data were obtained through questionnaires. Data were analyzed with chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: 36 children (32.7%) were stunted and out of them, 23 (63.9%) experi�enced delayed teeth eruption. The bivariate analysis showed p = 0.000 and OR = 5.932 for the relationship between stunting and teeth eruption status. Multivariate analysis showed that significantly related children’s characteristics to tooth eruption were nutritional status and parental income with p=0.000 and OR=6.944 for stunting and p=0.002 and OR=4.861 for parental income. Conclusion: Nutritional status and parental income are significantly related to tooth eruption. Stunted children are 6.9 times more likely to experience delayed tooth eruption and children with low-income parents are 4.8 times more likely to experience delayed tooth eruption
