Abstract: Dental caries, as well as stunting in children, is still a worldwide problem including in Indonesia. Malnutrition can cause stunting and abnormal growth and development of teeth causing the child's teeth become more susceptible to caries. This study was aimed to obtain the description of primary dental caries among stunting children in Indonesia. This was a literature review study. Three databases used in this study, as follows: Pubmed, ClinicalKey, and Google Scholar. The keywords were stunting AND caries AND Indonesia. After being selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a critical appraisal was carried out that obtained 5 literatures consisting of 4 cross-sectional studies and 1 cohort study. The results showed that stunting children had higher percentage of primary dental caries than normal children, with moderate to high caries severity reaching 80%. Children who suffered from high dental caries severity had a high chance of suffering from stunting in the future. In conclusion, stunting children in Indonesia suffered from caries of primary teeth categorized as high severity caries. There was a relationship between caries of primary teeth and stunting in children.
