- Abstract: Most fishermen in Indonesia are under the poverty line and have a low level of education, which can affect the level of dental and oral hygiene. The most common dental and oral disease found in coastal communities is dental caries. The main indicator for assessing dental caries is the DMF-T index (Decay Missing Filling-Teeth). This study aimed to determine the status of dental caries based on the DMF-T index in fishermen in the coastal area of the Megamas region, Manado. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were fishermen on the coastal area of the Megamas region obtained by using total sampling method according to the inclusion criteria. There were 34 fishermen in this study. The results showed that the status of dental caries based on DMF-T was 104 (30%) Decay with an average of 3.1; Missing was 243 (70%) with an average of 7.1; and Filling was 0 (0%) or none. The total DMF-T index was 347 with an average of 10.2. In conclusion, the status of dental caries based on the DMF-T index in fishermen in the coastal area of the Megamas Region, Manado, is very high with an average value of 10.2.
