Abstract. Dental caries is an infectious disease in oral health and has become a major problem in Indonesia due to a lack of awareness. There are several causes of dental caries, such as consuming sugary snacks and toothbrushing habits which are common in school-aged children. Based on the caries risk assessment survey conducted in Yogyakarta, as many as 76.5% of the children had a high carries risk, 12.9% had a low caries risk, and 10.6% had a moderate caries risk. This research aims to determine the overview and correlation of correct toothbrushing and diet habit on oral health status using the IDCRA application at SD (Elementary School) Muhammadiyah Pepe and SD Muhammadiyah Warungboto Yogyakarta. This research type is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional design. The data were collected by subjective and objective intra-oral screening to examine the number of dental caries experiences (DMF-T/def-t) using IDCRA application in elementary school students aged 6-9. The data were then analysed using Spearman correlation by SPSS. The results revealed that students at SD Muhammadiyah Pepe and SD Muhammadiyah Warungboto Yogyakarta had caries with an average of DMF-T/def-t 7,5, meaning each had seven teeth with caries. In addition, most students (74%) consumed sugary snacks 1-3 times daily, while 60,6% needed to brush their teeth correctly. The caries incidence in school-aged children at SD Muhammadiyah Pepe and Warungboto Yogyakarta was classified as very high. This was influenced by their habit of brushing teeth and dietary habits done by the students. So promotive and preventive activities to increase the knowledge and awareness of children and parents need to be carried out regularly.
