Context: Malocclusion is one of the most common dental problems found in
Indonesia. The abnormality of oral function, such as mouth breathing habits, could
be the etiology of malocclusion. Breathing is the first oral function that undergoes
maturation; thus, the knowledge of preschool children’s parents is important to
prevent children from developing mouth breathing habits in early childhood. The
purpose of this study was to describe the level of knowledge among preschool
children’s parents towards mouth breathing habits as the etiology of malocclusion.
Methods and Material: A descriptive study was conducted towards 92 preschool
children’s parents of TK Ibunda, TK Islam Raih Impian, and TK Islam Bukit Indah
using cluster random sampling and simple random sampling technique. A
questionnaire consisting of 15 questions excluding respondents’ characteristics
was used. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS and Microsoft excel
software for descriptive and multivariate analysis. Results: There were five parents
(5,4%) in low category of knowledge level, 45 parents (48,9%) in moderate
category, and 42 parents (45,7) in high category. Conclusions: The level of
knowledge about mouth breathing habits as the etiology of malocclusion among
preschool children’s parents was moderate.
