The research results show that mother’s knowledge, mother’s motivation, and consumption patterns formula milk using a bottle nipples has a significant relationship both partially and simultaneously the significance level of caries grade was less than 0,05(p<0,05). Regression models that can be formed are y (incidence of rampant caries) = 4,577 – 0,785 mother’s knowledge – 0,345 mother’s motivation + 0,223 comsumption pattern.
