Review

This manuscript addresses a highly relevant topic concerning the critical role of maternal education in influencing the dental health outcomes of preschool children, specifically focusing on caries incidence. The title clearly communicates the study's primary objective, and the abstract provides a concise overview of the background, aim, methodology, key findings, and conclusion. The research tackles an important public health issue, as early childhood caries can have long-lasting negative impacts on a child's overall health and well-being. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing further evidence on the significant influence of the home environment and parental involvement in establishing good oral hygiene practices from an early age. The study employs a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, utilizing purposive sampling to recruit 60 respondents, equally split between mothers and their preschool children from a kindergarten in Tasikmalaya. Data collection involved questionnaires to assess the mothers' roles and behaviors related to dental health maintenance, alongside direct clinical examination for caries in the children. The statistical analysis, using the Spearman test, is appropriate for exploring the relationship between the two variables. The abstract reports that a significant proportion of respondents exhibited moderate behaviors and moderate caries incidence, culminating in a statistically significant relationship between the mother's role in dental health maintenance and the occurrence of caries in preschool children (p-value: 0.017). The findings strongly support the hypothesis that a mother's active role in promoting dental health is significantly associated with reduced caries incidence in preschool children. This conclusion has important implications for developing targeted public health interventions and educational programs aimed at empowering mothers with the knowledge and skills necessary to foster healthy oral habits in their children. While the cross-sectional design limits the ability to infer causality, the study provides compelling evidence for an association that warrants further investigation, perhaps through longitudinal studies or interventions. Future research could also benefit from larger sample sizes and more detailed assessments of specific maternal educational strategies and their direct impact on behavioral changes and caries reduction. Overall, this paper offers a valuable contribution to the field of pediatric dentistry and public health.
