| dc.description.abstract | Background: There're many advantages that can be achieved through
breastfeeding. Baby gets nutrition with the ideal nutrition, the best enzyme,
antibody and pschoiogically making the connection between a baby and the mom
closer. The promotion on the advantage of breastfeeding hasn't entered the
denJistry field. During the process of sucking, baby needs greater energy so that
the breastrnilk will come out more. The movement of the lips, cheeks, tongue and
the mandible while sucking breastnillq are carried out withiegular rythm *a *iU
continuously affect the dentocraniofacial growth and development.
Aims: This study was conducted to analyse correlation between breastfeeding
substitute during infancy with the growth and development of the
dentocraniofacial reglon and malocclusion on 3 to 5 years old children on the
Malay ethnic and the Bataknese.
Research Method: The observational research with the rehospective cohort
study. Interviews's carried out to mothers with questionnare as the guidance and
the measurement of the height of head,length of head, width of dental arch, length
of dental arch, cifcuiriference of dental arch and height of palate in 3 to 5 years old
children whose infancy received breastrnilk/breastmilk substitute.
Result: The average measurement on children whose infacy were given
breastnilk on Malay ethnic were cephalic height 8,78 + 0,36, cephalic lLgh
16,90*0,70 and vertical cephalic index 51,70 + 3,68. on the Bataknese, cephalic
height 8,29*0,35, cephalic lenglh 16,00 *. 0,79 and vertical cephalic index
51,63L2,58. Children who didn't rrceive b,reastnilk on Malay etlrnic cephalic
height 8,29 * 0,29, cephalic length 16,30 + 0,38 and vertical cephalic index 50,38
+ 1,66. Children who didn't receive breastnilk on the Bataknese, cephalic height
7 ,96 + 0,26, cephalic length 15,50 + 0,39 and vertical cephalic index 51,63 + 1,60.
The average of cephalic height, cephalic length, vertical cephalic index, maxillary
arch width, mo<illary arch depth and maxillary arch length on children whose
infancy were given breastnilk were greater than those who didn't receive
breastnilk. The average of cephalic height and cephaiic length on children whose
infacy were given breastnilk on Malay sthnic were greater than the Bataknese.
Vertical cephilic index on Bataknese *as greater thari Malay ethnic. The average
of dental arch and palatal depth on children whose infancy were given breastnilk
in truo ethnic groups were greater than those who didn't receive breastrnilk. On
Malay etlnic, maxillary canine arch width 31,03+2,12, ma;rillary molar arch
width 47,0&2,0& canine arch depth 12,06*1,73, molar arch depth 28,65L2,27,
anterior segment arch length 33,5fu2,54, posterior segment arch length
28,94+2,28 and palatal depth 14,36+1,49. The analysis result showed that on
Malay ethnic there's a correlation between breastfeeding/breastnilk substitute
with all the variables of meastuement (p<0.05). on the Bataknese, there's no
correlation between breastfeeding with vertical cephalic index, anterior segment
arch length posterior segment arch length and palatal depth. There's difference
ilt
among the cephalic height, cephalic length, maxillary canine arch width,
maxillary molar arch width, canine arch depth, molar arch depth, anterior segment
arch length, posterior segment arch length and palatal depth on children who
received breastnilk during infancy in Malay ethnic compared to the Bataknese.
Conclusion: Breastfeeding/breastnrilk substitute will stimulate growth and
development of the dentocraniofacial region, which can affect the size of dental
arch which's the main factor in reaching good occlusion. | en_US |
