Abstract
Dental caries remains a major public health concern, particularly among children, with various factors influencing its development, including nutritional statusThis study examines the relationship between stunting and saliva pH as a risk factor for dental caries in children. Conducted in Hulu Sungai Utara District, South Kalimantan Province, it involved 121 elementary school students through total sampling. Data collection included height-for-age measurements to classify stunting and saliva pH analysis using a digital pH meter. Statistical analysis via the Mann-Whitney U test revealed that stunted children had significantly lower saliva pH (mean: 5.794) compared to non-stunted children (mean: 6.927), with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). These findings suggest that stunting may impair salivary gland function, leading to decreased saliva pH and increased susceptibility to dental caries. This study underscores the need for targeted interventions to improve dental health and nutrition in stunted populations.
