Abstract

Background: Stunting is a risk factor that can cause dental development disorders, including tooth eruption. This study aims to determine the relationship between stunting and the eruption of the first permanent molar teeth in children in the working area of Puskesmas 1 Ulu. Methods: This was an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional approach in the service area of Puskesmas 1 Ulu Palembang. The study involved 33 children with stunting based on medical records from 2018 to 2021, who are currently aged 5–7 years in the service area of Puskesmas 1 Ulu. Analytical (infresial) analysis was conducted using the Chi-square statistic. Results: Among the 26 children (79%) classified as short stunting, 13 children had experienced the eruption of the first permanent molar tooth, while 13 children had not yet experienced the eruption of the first permanent molar tooth. Among the 7 children (21%) classified as very short stunting, 2 children had experienced the eruption of the first permanent molar tooth, while 5 children had not yet experienced the eruption of the first permanent molar tooth. The analysis results showed a p-value of 0.560 (p > 0.05).  Conclusion: There was no significant association between stunting and the eruption of the first permanent molar tooth in children (p = 0.560) in the service area of Puskesmas 1 Ulu.
