Abstract

Dental caries is a disease of dental tissue characterized by tissue damage and it is started from the surface extending towards the pulp.

The bivariate analysis result is variable of cariogenic foods consumption had low events relation by dental caries caused whit its result p= 0.000 and correlation coefficient +0.621, while brushing teeth frequency also had strong relation with dental caries caused result P= 0.000 correlation coefficient +0.785. Bivariate analysis result which is influential but brushing teeth frequency result Exp(B) 3.008 fold influenced on dental caries.     The conclusion that obtained from this research are decrease or confine cariogenic foods and brush teeth according to procedure which is an effort preventing the occurrence of dental caries.
