Abstract
Dental and oral hygiene problem is the leading cause of daily activities
disruption in children such as missing school, bad learning concentration,
appetite and nutritional intake. Knowledge of dental and oral hygiene should
be given at early age in family by the parents. The aim of our work was to
determine relationship between parents’ knowledge and dental hygiene of the
SDLB children (children with special needs). We undertook this research with
analytical survey. A cross-sectional design was carried out. The sampling
method was total sampling namely parents of children with special needs and
the children as many as 80 people. Chi-Square test was performed to analyze
the data. The results show that the knowledge of parents about dental and
oral hygiene is not good (85%), while the dental and oral hygiene in
children with special needs is poor (85%). Based on the Chi-Square Test, it
produces a p-value of sig (2-sided) = 0.002 in the test, so it can obtain a
p-value (probability value) from the test (p = 0.002 = 0.05) so that Ho is
rejected. In conclusion, a relationship between parental knowledge and oral
hygiene in children with special needs does exist.
