gingivitis. The purpose of the study was to understand dental plaque accumulation
and gingival health status of the students who lived in area that produce the
coconut sugar (SDN Hargotirto).
The subject in this study were all of the student in SDN Hargotiro. There

status.The data were analyzed with descriptive analysis.
The result was 81,5% students had bad plaque score, 13,6% students had
moderate plaque score, 2,5% students had good plaque score and 2,5% students
had very good plaque score, while the gingival health status was 85,2% students
