INTRODUCTION:Dental caries is one of the oral manifestations that often occurs
in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). ASD is a neurodevelopmental
disorder characterized by deficits in social interactions, communication difficulties,
and the presence of restricted, repetitive behavior. Children with ASD have a higher
risk of dental caries due to their difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene and having
a poor diet, such as having a high preference for cariogenic foods. This study aims
to determine the relationship between the frequency of cariogenic food
consumption and the incidence of dental caries in ASD children. Methods:
Research was performed with cross-sectional study design and total sampling
techniques on 15 ASD children. Data analysis using Spearman Rank test. Results:
This study found (66,7%) ASD children had low levels of cariogenic foods
consumption. Respectively. This study found (80%) ASD children brush their teeth.
Significant value between the frequency of consumption of cariogenic foods and
DMFT/deft was (0.297) so there was no significant correlation. The level of
relationship between the frequency of consumption of cariogenic foods with
DMFT/deft is (0.289) which indicates a low correlation. Conclusions: There was
no association between cariogenic foods consumption frequency and the
occurrence of dental caries in children with autism spectrum disorders. The average
index of DMFT and deft of ASD children belong to the moderate group. ASD
children had low levels of cariogenic foods consumption frequency.
