- Abstract
Oral health of children is very important in supporting growth and development. Oral health, including the health component of the primary. In addition, the oral health of children has an important function in the function of the masticatory system. The prevalence of active caries which is still not repaired in children aged 10 years is approximately 52.3%. 100% Children in Mekar Jaya Primary School and Elementary School Cikawari Bandung Regency has an index of PUFA are very high, so it is necessary for controlling risk factors by analyzing protein sCD14. sCD14 in the saliva plays an important role to protect the soft tissues and hard tissues in the oral cavity of pathogenic bacterial infections. Objective: to determine the index level of sCD14 and PUFA. Descriptive survey techniques, the sampling technique is simple random sampling. Indicators measured are carries morbidity as measured by the index of the individual PUFAs and sCD14 protein levels were measured using the ELISA test. Individual PUFA Index Mekar Jaya Primary School showed the same value for the index were very low and very high 31.1% and 33.8%, in Cikawiri Elementary School are in the very high category as much as 42.6%. The average concentration of sCD14 in the group category of very high PUFA index by 8.91 ng / mL and the average concentration of sCD14 in the group category of PUFA index is very low at about 28.02 ng / mL. As a conclusion there is a negative relationship between the average level of sCD14 and indices of PUFA in Mekar Jaya Primary School and Elementary School Cikawari Bandung regency. In a very high PUFA index, the average sCD14 concentration was 8.91 ng / mL and 28.02 ng / mL in the index of PUFA very low.
