Abstract :
Background: The prevalence of dental caries in children is high, therefore preventive actions is needed. So far the computer software therefore preventive actions is needed. So far the computer software the computer software that have been used for caries predictor is cariogram, which determine the condition of teeth and oral mouth. Recently "Prediktor Karies Anak” (pediatric caries predictor) software have been developed not only determine the condition of teeth and oral mouth but software have been developed not only determine the condition of teeth and oral mouth but ve been developed not only determine the condition of teeth and oral mouth but teeth and oral mouth but oral mouth but also child’s behavior, maternal behavior, and the environment. child’s behavior, maternal behavior, and the environment. Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the sensitivity, he objective of this study was to examine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of Pediatric Caries Predictor software. of Pediatric Caries Predictor software. software. Methods: This study was an observational study with cross-sectional plan, carried out on 67 primary school children aged 10-12 years. The research instrument was software of "Prediktor Karies Anak” (pediatric caries predictor) and cariogram. The data of this research software of "Prediktor Karies Anak” (pediatric caries predictor) and cariogram. The data of this research was the percentage of new caries occurrence and caries risk categorized into high and low, and analyzed with a 2 x 2 table. into high and low, and analyzed with a 2 x 2 table. Results: The data of 67 children was analyzed using "Prediktor Karies Anak” software and revealed 38 children had low caries risk and 29 software and revealed 38 children had low caries risk and 29 and revealed 38 children had low caries risk and 29 had low caries risk and 29 children had high caries. The data then re-analyzed using cariogram software showed that 37 children had low caries risk, and 30 data then re-analyzed using cariogram software showed that 37 children had low caries risk, and 30 ed that 37 children had low caries risk, and 30 children had high caries risk. Sensitivity of "Prediktor Karies Anak” software was 87%, specificity was 92%, the PPV was 90%, and "Prediktor Karies Anak” software was 87%, specificity was 92%, the PPV was 90%, and was 87%, specificity was 92%, the PPV was 90%, and NPV was 89%. Conclusion: "Prediktor Karies Anak”software had high sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV and could be used as "Prediktor Karies Anak”software had high sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV and could be used as had high sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV and could be used as could be used as an instrument to predict new caries on children.
