Abstract: Oral hygiene and consumption patterns of poor foods can affect oral health, including dental caries. Debris or food waste is one of the causes of dental caries. Consuming fresh fruit that consist with rich fiber and water can naturally cleanse the tooth, thus the width of the debris surface can be reduced, and the risk of the karies to be form could be prevent. On this research, a papaya from “Kota Manado†was used with a purpose to get the information if there is an influence by consuming papaya (Carica papaya) in reducing debris index to child age 10 to 12 years old at “SDN 103 Manadoâ€. The type of this research is a experiment research with apparent experiment designs with pre-test approach and post-test approach treatment. Population is the child age 10-12 years old in grade V and VI atâ€SDN 103 Manadoâ€. Sample was taken with total sampling method with a total of 40 samples. Differences of the debris index before consuming papaya and after was used Wilcoxon test. The results showed there is a significant difference from the evaluation result of the debris index before consuming papaya and after (p < 0,05). Consuming papaya can reducing debris index to students at “SDN 103 Manadoâ€

Abstrak: Kebersihan gigi dan mulut, serta pola konsumsi makanan yang kurang baik dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan gigi dan mulut, di antaranya karies gigi. Debris atau sisa makanan merupakan salah satu faktor penyebab karies gigi. Konsumsi buah yang segar yang kaya akan serat dan air dapat memicu pembersihan alami pada gigi, sehingga luas permukaan debris dapat dikurangi dan resiko terjadinya karies dapat dicegah. Pada penelitian ini digunakan buah pepaya yang berasal dari Kota Manado yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada pengaruh konsumsi pepaya (Carica papaya) dalam menurunkan indeks debris pada anak usia 10-12 tahun di SDN 103 Manado. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen dengan rancangan eksperimen semu dengan pendekatan sebelum (pre-test) dan sesudah (post-test) perlakuan. Populasi ialah anak usia 10-12 tahun yang duduk di kelas V dan VI di SDN 103 Manado. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan metode total sampling berjumlah 40 sampel. Perbedaan sebelum dan sesudah mengonsumsi pepaya di uji dengan uji Wilcoxon dengan tingkat kemaknaan p < 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna dari hasil pemeriksaan indeks debris sebelum mengonsumsi pepaya dan sesudah mengonsumsi pepaya (p < 0,05). Kesimpulan: Konsumsi buah pepaya dapat menurunkan indeks debris pada siswa di SDN 103 Manado.
