Background: Dental caries is a dental and oral health problem that is still commonly found in school-age children. If left untreated, this problem can lead to complications such as inflammation and pus in the gums, gum tissue abscesses, and inflammation of the jawbone. This has the potential to not only reduce the child's health status but also affect their concentration at school, attendance, and quality of life. The high prevalence of caries indicates that preventive efforts through dental health maintenance are not yet optimal. A factor that plays a role in the prevention of dental caries is children's knowledge of dental health maintenance. Objective: This study was conducted to identify the relationship between knowledge of dental health maintenance and the incidence of dental caries as a basis for nursing intervention in school-age children. Method: This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted at SD Inpres 22 Ambon for 2 days with 60 students as respondents using total sampling technique. Data on dental health knowledge was collected using a questionnaire, while the incidence of dental caries was assessed by conducting dental examinations. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Results: The results of the study obtained a p-value (0.000), indicating that there is a relationship between the level of dental health knowledge and the incidence of dental caries in school-age children. Children with less knowledge tended to have higher dental caries compared to children with good knowledge. Discussion: This study concluded that knowledge of dental health maintenance is a factor related to the incidence of dental caries in school-age children. Conclusion: These findings can be used as a basis for developing promotive and preventive nursing interventions, such as structured and continuous dental health education in the school environment.
