Background. Dental caries are the most common oral disease in children aged 6-12 years old. Previous studies have indicated a high prevalence of dental caries in Palembang. The Palembang population consists of native people and immigrants living in their respective areas. Native peoples usually consume pempek twice a day. Pempek is a special food consumed along with its gravy (namely cuko) and contains carbohydrate that may increase dental caries risk. This study is aimed at investigating the risk of new caries incidence, the sequence of influential factors in dental caries based on the consumption frequency of pempek, and correlation between the regional difference and frequency of pempek consumption and the risk of new caries incidence in Palembang. Methods. This study employed a quantitative observational method with cross sectional design. The research subjects were 305 students from 52 elementary schools in Palembang determined using cluster sampling technique. The data were collected on the basis of the location of the study, while the cariogram was employed to measure new caries risk prediction by collecting data based on the diet survey, DMF-T, buffer capacity, saliva secretion, plaque score, fluor program, and general disease. Parametric analysis with Anova test was applied to analyze the obtained data. Results. This study found that new caries risk prediction was 65.72% (high), while the contribution of pempek was 45.83% out of the total food consumption. The factors in dental caries were susceptibility, diet pattern, bacteria, and other influencing factors. There was no significant regional difference in the new caries risk prediction with p = 0.280 (p>0.05). There was significant difference between the frequency of pempek consumption and the level of new caries risk prediction with p = 0.000 (p<0.05). There was no correlation between the regions and the frequency of pempek consumption with the new caries risk prediction in Palembang with p = 0.904 (p>0.05). The mean DMF-T of the respondents was 3.42 (moderate). Conclusions. The risk prediction of new caries incidence in Palembang was 65.72% (high). The high frequency of the pempek consumption caused the high risk of new caries incidence. The sequence of factors in the new caries risk was susceptibility, diet pattern, bacteria, and other influencing factors. There was no significant impact of regional difference in the frequency of pempek consumption on the risk prediction of new caries in Palembang. The caries status in Palembang was 3.42 (moderate).
