Abstract
Background: the prevalence of dental caries in children aged 10 to 14 years is almost 41.4%. The CAMBRA method helps doctors identify the cause of dental caries by identifying risk factors in each patient. Based on research, the etiology of dental caries was found by identifying risk factors in each participant. This study aims to describe what factors influence dental caries in children based on CAMBRA. Method: This research uses observational analysis with. The respondents were students at SDN Kadipiro I, Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used to create the sample, which included 82 children between the ages of 10 and 12 years. The research was carried out by finding dental caries risk factors using the CAMBRA method: 1. cavity or new dentin lesion, 2. white spot, 3. restoration in the last three years, 4. saliva volume, 5. plaque index/PHPM, 6. water pH saliva, and 7. Frequency of consumption of sweet foods. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 25.0 program which included frequency analysis. Results: The results of the analysis showed five risk factors for caries, namely the condition of the teeth, cavities or new dentin lesions were found in 58 respondents (70.7%), predisposing factors, the number of plaque was obtained in 44 respondents (53.7%), the frequency of protective factors was obtained and the frequency of caries was obtained. 63 respondents experienced dental caries. Conclusion: The risk factors for dental caries based on CAMBRA that influence children's dental caries are the criteria for lesion depth of dentin, saliva pH, and amount of plaque. Keywords: CAMBRA, risk actors, caries, children
