Periodontal disease has a high prevalence in the community. One of the causes of oral health problems are the behavioral factors that made a culture or customs. Chewing betel is a habit that is still practiced by the community, including ethnic Papuans living in Manado. This study aims to determine the relationship of periodontal health status with the chewing betel habits of ethnic Papuan students in Manado. This is a descriptive analytic study with a cross-sectional study conducted in the ethnic Papuan students in Manado with number of samples 42 people. Method of sampling using purposive sampling. Data collection using list of questionnaires and also direct examination inspection techniques using CPITN. These results indicate that the periodontal health status of ethnic Papuan students in Manado who have the habit of chewing betel include bad as many as 32 people (76.2 %) and very bad as many as 10 people (23.8 %). There is a relationship between chewing betel frequency in a day with periodontal health status. From these results, it is expected for health clinicians to conduct health promotion of the negative impact of continuous chewing betel habit to change the behavior of ethnic Papuans student who still maintain the chewing betel habits.
