Abstract: Dental caries is one of the gum diseases which is commonly found in the community (adults and children). The infection process is progressive and accumulated on dental hard tissues characterized by tissue damage which begins from the tooth surface and extends into the pulp. This study aimed to describe the caries status in children aged 11 to 12 years old that belonged to the members of Jamkesmas in Tumatangtang 1 village, Tomohon Selatan. As subjects, there were 54 childrens aged 11 to 12 years old obtained by using total sampling method. This was a descriptive observational study. Measurement of dental caries status was conducted by using an index score of caries. Caries index is a number that indicates the number of dental caries in a person or group of people. The measurement includes the number of decayed teeth (Decay), number of extracted teeth due to caries (Missing) and the number of patched teeth (Filling). DMF - T Index is the simplest and most commonly used in epidemiological surveys of dental caries. The results showed that from the DMF – T index of all samples, the total index D (Decay) 159, M (Missing) 45, and F (Filling) 0. Based on WHO criteria, the average 3.8 belonged to the category of fair caries status. The average of DMF-T index of boys was categorized as fair caries status, meanwhile of girls was categorized as high caries status.
Conclusion: Caries status of children aged 11-12 years old that belonged to the members of Jamkesmas in Tumatangtang 1 village, Tomohon Selatan was categorized as fair status.
