Morphological evaluation of dental diseases in Parion chamber tomb (OM 5) Roman people / Evaluación morfológica de enfermedades dentales en la tumba de la cámara de Parion (OM 5) del pueblo romano

SUMMARY: Most of the dental diseases occur due to tooth or jaw morphology or nutritional habits. Anatomical differences in the teeth and jaws of men and women can cause different dental diseases between the sexes. In this study, 33 skeletons obtained from the excavation of the ancient city of Parion, which are dated to the late Roman period, were examined. Dental diseases and possible causes were investigated on a total of 33 skeletons. In the evaluations, it was evaluated that some diseases were caused by the difference between the sexes, while some were classified as nutritional diseases. The rates of tooth decay are different between men and women with Parion. It has been determined that the most important reason for this is the different morphological structure of the jaws and teeth, but the nutritional differences also cause this. Other dental and jaw diseases were also evaluated in the Parion population.

RESUMEN: La mayoría de las enfermedades dentales se deben a la morfología de los dientes o la mandíbula o a los hábitos nutricionales. Las diferencias anatómicas en los dientes y las mandíbulas de hombres y mujeres pueden causar diferentes enfermedades dentales entre los sexos. En este estudio, se examinaron 33 esqueletos obtenidos de la excavación de la antigua ciudad de Parion, que datan del período romano tardío. Se investigaron las enfermedades dentales y las posibles causas en un total de 33 esqueletos. En las evaluaciones, se determinó que algunas enfermedades fueron causadas por la diferencia entre los sexos, mientras que otras fueron clasificadas como enfermedades nutricionales. Además se encontraron diferentes estimaciones de caries entre hombres y mujeres. Se analizó que la razón más importante de esto es la diferencia de la estructura morfológica de los maxilares y los dientes, sin embargo las diferencias nutricionales también es un factor que se debe considerar. Se evaluaron además, otras enfermedades dentales y de la mandíbula en la población de Parion.

Prevalence of oral manifestations of hypophosphatemic rickets in patients treated in a peruvian pediatric hospital / Prevalencia de manifestaciones bucales del raquitismo hipofosfatémico de pacientes atendidos en un hospital pediátrico peruano

Objective: To describe the prevalence of oral manifestations of hypophosphatemic rickets in patients treated in a Peruvian referral pediatric hospital during the years 2012-2016. Material and methods: An observational, descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out.

Enamel defects and tooth eruption disturbances in children with sickle cell anemia

Abstract Sickle cell anemia, a genetic disease caused by a mutation in the beta-globin gene, can present oral manifestations such as delayed tooth eruption and hypomineralized enamel and dentin. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence and severity of developmental defects of enamel (DDE) and delayed tooth eruption in children with sickle cell anemia. The sample comprised 56 male and female children with sickle cell anemia aged 6 to 12 years and treated at the Hematology and Hemotherapy Center of Pernambuco, Brazil. The data were collected according to the WHO criteria for DDE and tooth eruption. The prevalence of DDE was 58.2% and increased with age, affecting 43.8% of children aged 6 to 8 years and 66.7% of those aged 10 to 12 years (p>0.05; Pearson's chi-square test). There was no significant association between DDE and sex; the most prevalent type of DDE was diffuse opacity (6.2%). Tooth eruption was delayed in 18 children (32.1%). The delay increased with age and was detected in 11.8% of children aged 6 to 8 years, in 20.0% of those aged 8 to 10 years and in 54.2% of those aged 10 to 12 years (p<0.05; Pearson's chi-square test). Delayed tooth eruption was higher in males (36.7%, p>0.05). The prevalence of DDE was high, increased with age and was similar between sexes, while delayed eruption was higher in males and showed a significant association with age.

Impacto de la hipomineralización incisivo molar en la experiencia de caries en escolares de 6-12 años en Santiago, Chile / Molar incisor hypomineralisation and its impact on caries experienced by 6-12 year-old schoolchildren from Santiago, Chile

Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las consecuencias clínicas expresadas en índices COPD y ceod y su relación con la presencia de hipomineralización incisivo molar (HIM) en una población de escolares de 6 a 12 años de la provincia de Santiago. Método: Este estudio de corte transversal fue realizado en 851 escolares de 6 a 12 años de la provincia de Santiago, quienes fueron evaluados por 2 dentistas calibrados. Con consentimiento de los tutores legales, los escolares fueron examinados, y se utilizaron los criterios diagnósticos para HIM de la Academia Europea de Odontopediatría (EAPD). La historia de caries fue determinada con COPD/ceod de acuerdo a los criterios de la OMS. Los datos fueron recolectados en una ficha especialmente diseñada para esto. Los datos fueron analizados con test «t¼ para muestras individuales (considerando p < 0,05). Resultados: Los escolares afectados por HIM tuvieron una media de COPD de 0,91 (±1,21) y una media de ceod de 1,98 (±2,48), el cual fue mayor que el COPD y ceod de escolares sin HIM (0,41 [±0,95] y 1,34 [±2,15] respectivamente). La diferencia entre ambos grupos fue estadísticamente significativa para COPD (p < 0,000) y ceod (p = 0,002). Conclusiones: Escolares de la provincia de Santiago de 6 a 12 años afectados con HIM presentaron mayor COPD/ceod que escolares sin HIM.

Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical consequences, expressed in DMFT and dmft, and their relationship with Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) in a population of schoolchildren of 6 to 12 years old in the Santiago Province. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 851 schoolchildren between 6-12 years old from the Santiago Province were examined by two calibrated examiners. With informed consent from their parents, the schoolchildren were examined, and the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) diagnostic criteria was used for MIH detection. Caries history was assessed with the DMFT/dmft score according to WHO criteria. Data was collected with a form specially designed for this study. Data was analysed using Student's t-test for individual samples and a post-hoc Bonferroni (P < .05). Results: The mean DMFT score in the MIH-affected schoolchildren was 0.91 (±1.21), with a mean dmft score of 1.98 (±2.48), which were greater than the scores in the non-MIH affected schoolchildren (mean DMFT score 0.41 [±0.95] and mean dmft 1.34 [±2.15]). The differences between DMFT and dmft scores in the two groups were statistically significant (P < .000 and P = .002, respectively). Conclusions: Schoolchildren of Santiago Province of 6-12 year old diagnosed with MIH had higher DMFT/dmft scores compared to schoolchildren not affected with MIH.

Enfermedad periodontal y síndrome de Down / Periodontal disease and Down´s syndrome

El síndrome de Down es un factor de riesgo no modificable para la enfermedad periodontal; los individuos con síndrome de Down tienen una mayor prevalencia y severidad de enfermedad periodontal que no puede ser explicada únicamente por una higiene bucal deficiente, y diversos estudios sugieren que esto se debe a cambios en su respuesta inmune y en la composición microbiológica de su biofilm. En este trabajo se hará una revisión de las siguiente anormalidades del sistema inmune que fueron encontradas: - defectos en la quimiotaxis de los neutrófilos - fagocitosis parcial de los leucocitos contra los estafilococos - distribución alterada de subclases de IgG en saliva - aumentados niveles de prostaglandinas E2 - aumentada cantidad de metaloproteinasas de la matriz en el fluido gingival crevicular - reducida expresión de IL-10. Por estos motivos, la atención periodontal de los pacientes son síndrome de Down es ligeramente diferente...

Manejo de la salud oral en el paciente pediátrico infectado por VIH / Oral health management in the HIV-infected pediatric patient

El síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA) se caracteriza por una infección adquirida ocasionada por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH), que afecta a la población linfocitaria CD4+ y que predispone al paciente a un estado de inmunodefi ciencia que lo hace susceptible a infecciones oportunistas severas y/o neoplasias inusuales. La infección por el VIH es un problema grave de salud pública, ya que hay alrededor de 34 millones de personas infectadas según el Centro Nacional de Prevención de Enfermedades de Atlanta; de esta población seropositiva para VIH 68 por ciento vive en África Subsahariana. El VIH se transmite a través de la contaminación con sangre, semen, fluidos vaginales y leche materna. Muchos de los portadores de este virus son asintomáticos lo que complica la situación en virtud de que si no se toman las precauciones de bioseguridad adecuadas, esta situación representa un riesgo para el profesional de la salud oral. Los odontólogos deben brindar un tratamiento adecuado a este tipo de pacientes e identifi car oportunamente cualquier riesgo de infección y complicaciones asociadas

cquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is characterized by a seemingly irreversible impairment acquired in CD4 + lymphocyte population that predisposes the host to severe opportunistic infections and/or neoplastic unusual. Infection produced by human immunode-fi ciency virus (HIV) is a serious public health problem, as there are about 34 million people infected reported by the National Center for Disease Prevention Atlanta, this 68% HIV-positive population lives in Sub-Saharan Africa. HIV is transmitted through blood contamination, semen, vaginal fl uids and breast milk. Many patients infected with this virus are asymptomatic complicating the situation under if appropriate biosecurity measures are not taken; this situation represents a risk for oral health professional. Dentists should provide adequate treatment to these patients and promptly identify any risk of infection and as-sociated complications.

Técnica alternativa y simple de rehabilitación oral con prótesis removible para una paciente con epidermolisis bullosa distrófica: reporte de caso clínico / Aternative and simple oral rehabilitation technique using a removable prosthesis for a patient with epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica: a case report

La epidermolisis bullosa es una enfermedad de origen genético caracterizada por una marcada fragilidad de la piel y las mucosas, resultando en la aparición de lesiones vesiculobullosas y/o desprendimientos tisulares de aparición espontánea o, más comúnmente, como consecuencia de roce mecánico. La formación de cicatrices con retracción tisular genera a nivel oral obliteración vestibular, anquiloglosia y microstomía, complicándose la rehabilitación odontológica y, en particular, la protésica. El presente artículo describe una alternativa protésica, simple y económica, para una paciente desdentada parcial con epidermolisis bullosa distrófica recesiva.

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic disease that is characterised by the formation of blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes following minor traction or trauma. Oral manifestations of the disease include obliteration of the vestibule, ankyloglossia, and microstomia. Oral rehabilitation, and prosthetic rehabilitation, in particular, is a challenge. This article describes a simple, inexpensive prosthetic alternative for a partially edentulous patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

Oral alterations in children with cancer: literature review / Alteraciones orales en niños con cáncer: revisión del tema

For dentists, there is little information on malignant tumors and complications both because their natural evolution is secondary to treatment, despite cancer in children represents 3 percent of all cancer cases. The goal is to make a brief review of the most common neoplasm in children, to identify them and find out the oral alterations with highest incidence both as secondary to the pathology and as a side effect of treatment. This review analyses various types of malignant neoplasms which may occur in this stage of life. They are divided into haematological: leukemias, lymphomas and solid tumors. The most common leukemia is acute lymphoblastic (ALL) followed by acute myeloid and granulocytic. Lymphomas develop from the lymphatic system and are divided into Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s. Cancer has become a chronic disease favoring a new group of patients who achieve survival but suffer side effects due to therapies, drugs, doses and the child’s characteristics. Oral complications appear in 40 percent of cases and the most frequent are mucositis, opportunistic infection, xerostomia, bleeding, periodontal disease and disorders in the development of teeth and jaw. Although cancer is located outside of the maxillofacial area, chemotherapy is aggressive for a developing organism. The side effects of radiation therapy affect the general and specific area to radiate as well as the surrounding organs and tissues. Recently, advances in diagnosis and treatment have increased survival from 20 percent to 80 percent, with long-term treatment.

Existe poca información para el odontólogo sobre tumores malignos y complicaciones por su evolución natural como secundaria al tratamiento a pesar de ser el cáncer en niños el 3 por ciento de todos los cánceres. El objetivo es hacer una revisión sucinta de las neoplasias más frecuentes en niños, identificarlas y conocer las alteraciones orales con mayor incidencia secundarias tanto a la patología como el efecto secundario del tratamiento. Realizamos una revisión analizando los diferentes tipos de neoplasias malignas que puede presentarse en esta etapa de vida, las cuales se dividen en hematológicos: leucemias y linfomas y tumores sólidos. La leucemia más frecuente es la linfoblastica aguda (LLA), después la Mieloide Aguda, y Granulocítica. Los linfomas se desarrollan del sistema linfático, se dividen en Hodgkin y no Hodgkin. El cáncer se ha convertido en una enfermedad crónica. Ello favorece un nuevo grupo de pacientes que logran supervivencia suficiente para que puedan producirse efectos secundarios por las terapias utilizadas, fármacos, dosis y las características de cada niño. Las complicaciones orales aparecen en un 40 por ciento, las más frecuentes: mucositis, infección oportunista, xerostomía, hemorragias, enfermedad periodontal, alteraciones del desarrollo de dientes y maxilar. Aunque el cáncer esté localizado fuera del área maxilofacial, la quimioterapia es agresiva en un organismo en desarrollo. Los efectos secundarios de la radioterapia son generales y específicos de la zona a irradiar, órganos y tejidos circundantes. Últimamente, los avances en diagnóstico y tratamiento aumentaron la supervivencia del 20 por ciento al 80 por ciento, con tratamientos a largo plazo.

A review of Indian literature for association of smokeless tobacco with malignant and premalignant diseases of head and neck region.

In India, about 60% of tobacco users use smokeless tobacco (ST) alone. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common cancers in India. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) monograph (Vol 89) found a significant association between ST use and oral cancer. However, only a few articles from India were included in this monograph. To overcome this lacuna, we have reviewed the articles published from India investigating the association between ST use and malignant and premalignant diseases of head and neck region. Data collection has been performed by computer-aided search of the MedLine and PubMed databases using different combinations of the key words. For malignant lesions, only cohort and case control studies were considered for review. For premalignant lesions and dental diseases other than case control studies, some cross-sectional studies have also been reviewed. Studies found a significant association between ST use and cancer of the oral cavity. The association was stronger for the buccal mucosa compared to tongue and for females compared to males. Significant association noted between cancer of the hypopharynx and oropharynx with ST use but no definitive association noted for cancer of the larynx and nasopharynx. Some dental disease and oral premalignant conditions were also associated with ST use. Indian studies suggest ST use is strongly associated with cancer of the oral cavity, oropharynx and hypopharynx.

Dental manifestations of patient with Vitamin D-resistant rickets

Patients with Vitamin D-resistant rickets have abnormal tooth morphology such as thin globular dentin and enlarged pulp horns that extend into the dentino-enamel junction. Invasion of the pulp by microorganisms and toxins is inevitable. The increased fibrotic content of the pulp, together with a reduced number of odontoblasts, decreases the response to pulp infection. The most important oral findings are characterized by spontaneous gingival and dental abscesses occuring without history of trauma or caries. Radiographic examinations revealed large pulp chambers, short roots, poorly defined lamina dura and hypoplastic alveolar ridge. These dental abscesses are common and therefore the extraction and pulpectomy are the treatment of choice. The purpose of this article is to report a case of Vitamin D-resistant rickets in a 5 year-old boy, describing the dental findings and the treatment to be performed in these cases.

Perinatal factors associated with developmental defects of enamel in primary teeth: a case-control study

The present study was designed to evaluate associations between developmental defects of enamel (DDE) in the primary dentition and aspects related to mothers and preschoolers in the city of Diamantina, Brazil. A case-control study was carried out involving children aged three to five years. The case group was composed of 104 children with at least one dental surface affected by DDE. The control group comprised 105 children without DDE, matched for gender and age. The diagnosis of enamel defects was performed using the Developmental Defects of Enamel Index. Information was collected through interviews investigating socio-demographic aspects, gestation, birth weight, prematurity and breastfeeding. Simple and multiple regression analyses were performed, providing unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios (Poisson regression). DDE were more prevalent among children who had not been breastfed (PR = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.1-2.2) and those whose mothers were under 24 years of age at the birth of the child (PR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.1-1.9). The prevalence of DDE in the primary dentition was higher among children who had not been breastfed and those whose mothers were under 24 years of age at the birth of the child.

Risk factors in spreading odontogenic infection

Spreading odontogenic infection is the extension of infection from its original site and can create potential life threatening situations. There are several risk factor reported for spreading odontogenic infection in literature including systemic health, virulence of organism and anatomical site. Apart from these factors odentogenic infection also observed in normal individuals. The objective of this study is to identify Risk factors in spreading odontogenic infection. Descriptive Case Series Study. This study was conducted in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Institute of Dentistry, LUMHS from January 2011 to February 2012. A descriptive case series study on 60 patients of spreading odontogenic infection was conducted. Male female ratio was 2.3:1, 2[nd] and 3[rd] decade was common presentation. The most frequent clinical findings were pain, swelling, trimus. The Buccal space was the most frequent location for a single space infection [53.3%], followed by Submandibular space [35%], Canine space [5%]. Three patients presented with multi space involvement [6.6%]. The most common involved tooth was mandibular third molar 26 [43.3%].The most common cause of the infection was periapical infection followed by pericronitis. 83.3% patient were healthy patients with no co morbid, only 16.7% patients were with co morbid like DM, hypertension and pregnancy. There was also no difference for mean WBC count. This study shows that lower molars were the most common involved teeth and buccal space was frequent space to be involved. The site of infection is important risk factors. We observed Odentognic infection in common in healthy individual than non-healthy individuals

Trastornos estomatológicos desencadenados por la bulimia nerviosa: trabajo de investigación UNLP / Stomatological disorders produced by bulimia nervosa: UNLP investigation paper

La investigación se llevó a cabo en ALUBA (Asociación de Lucha contra la Bulimia y la Anorexia), una institución creada por padres de pacientes con trastornos de la conducta alimentaria , El estudio de campo se efectuó sobre 29 pacientes que padecían bulimia, subtipo purgativa. El objetivo planteado fue describir cómo se alteran las estructuras estomatológicas y cómo influe sobre el patrón deglutorio. Se pretende ampliar el campo de acción de la fonoaudiología e incluir a la patología alimentaria dentro del protocolo de anamnesis y valoración de nuestra área de incumbencia, así como también poder brindar una respuesta terapéutica a este tipo de trastorno . Este trabajo es una investigación de tipo transversal, descriptiva. Los resultados más relevantes fueron el hallazgo de patrones deglutorios alterados en el 79,31 por ciento de los pacientes, ausencia del reflejo nauseoso en el 93,10 por ciento y marcadas disfonías en el 68,96 por ciento. En cuanto al sistema dentario, la característica más importante fue el desgaste de piezas dentarias en el 51.72 por ciento, y la presencia de caries en el 53,33 por ciento. Se reconoce que todas estas alteraciones son factores comunes hallados en pacientes seculares de bulimia subtipo purgativa. Podemos afirmar que fueron producidas por los ácidos digestivos y contracciones constantes de los músculos de todo el organismo producidos por el vómito autoprovocado, que llegaron a lesionar las estructuras blandas del sistema fonoestomatológico y a modificar su funcionalidad.

Alterações da articulação temporomandibular e suas repercussões orofaciais em pacientes portadores de artrite idiopática juvenil / Temporomandibular joint alterations and their orofacial complications in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Os pacientes com artrite idiopática juvenil (AIJ) podem apresentar alterações no metabolismo ósseo e no crescimento esqueletal, além de danos na articulação temporomandibular (ATM), o que pode gerar alterações extraorais e/ou intraorais, acarretando distúrbios craniofaciais. Nosso objetivo é promover uma revisão da literatura sobre as alterações orofaciais em pacientes com AIJ. Dentre os distúrbios orofaciais em pacientes com AIJ, as mudanças no crescimento mandibular, geradas por disfunções na região da ATM, parecem de grande prevalência nesses pacientes. As alterações mais encontradas são: retrognatismo, micrognatia, mordida aberta anterior, apinhamento dentário, assimetria facial e limitação de abertura de boca. Assim, o reumatologista torna-se uma peça-chave na detecção precoce dessas disfunções, ajudando no encaminhamento do paciente ao dentista. O diagnóstico, por sua vez, deve ser realizado pelo ortodontista, utilizando exames clínico e de imagem, o que possibilita tratamento precoce e prognóstico favorável. Distúrbios na ATM devem ser tratados de forma multidisciplinar, incluindo tratamento farmacológico para o controle da dor e tratamento odontológico por meio de aparelhagem funcional e/ou ortodôntica, fisioterapêutico e por vezes fonoaudiológico. Concluímos que dentre os distúrbios orofaciais em pacientes com AIJ, as mudanças no crescimento mandibular geradas por disfunções na região da ATM parecem de grande prevalência. Tais disfunções podem promover, principalmente, mordida aberta, retrusão mandibular, micrognatia, apinhamento dentário e assimetria facial. O reumatologista pode detectar tais alterações precocemente, encaminhando o paciente de imediato a uma equipe que deve ser, preferencialmente, multidisciplinar, composta por ortodontista, fisioterapeuta e fonoaudiólogo, visando reduzir futuras complicações oclusais e de crescimento mandibular.

Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can have alterations in bone metabolism and skeletal growth, as well as damage to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which can generate extra and/or intraoral alterations, resulting in craniofacial disorders. Our goal is to carry out a review of the literature on orofacial alterations in patients with JIA. Among the orofacial disorders in patients with JIA, alterations in mandibular growth, caused by dysfunctions in the TMJ region, seem highly prevalent in these patients. The most often found alterations are: retrognathia, micrognathia, anterior open bite, dental crowding, facial asymmetry and mouth opening limitation. Thus, the rheumatologist becomes a key agent in the early detection of these disorders, helping with patient referral to a dentist. The diagnosis, in turn, should be performed by the orthodontist, using clinical examination and imaging methods, allowing early treatment and a favorable prognosis. TMJ disorders should be treated by a multidisciplinary team, including pharmacological treatment for pain control and dental care through functional appliance and/or orthodontic therapy, physical therapy and sometimes, speech therapy. We conclude that among the orofacial disorders in patients with JIA, alterations in mandibular growth generated by dysfunctions in the TMJ region seem highly prevalent. Such dysfunctions can cause mainly open bite, mandibular retrusion, micrognathia, dental crowding and facial asymmetry. The rheumatologist can detect these alterations at an early stage, with immediate patient referral to a team that should preferably be a multidisciplinary one, consisting of an orthodontist, physical therapist and speech therapist, to reduce future occlusal and mandibular growth complications.

Prevalence of root dilacerations in Central Anatolian Turkish dental patients / Prevalencia de las dilaceraciones radiculares en pacientes dentales turcos de la región de Anatolia Central

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine, retrospectively, the prevalence and distribution of the dilaceration of the root for each tooth-type in a sample of Central Anatolian Turkish population by using panoramic radiographs. METHOD: Panoramic radiograhs of 6912 patients (3860 women and 3052 men, mean age 29.04 years, range, 15 to 50 years) were examined for the presence of root dilacerations. Chi-square test was also used to compare the prevalence of dilacerations between male and female subjects and upper and lower jaws. RESULTS: Data showed that 1108 (16.0%) of these subjects had one or more teeth that were dilacerated and these were detected in 466 (15.2%) males and 642 (16.6%) females. Statistical analysis (χ² test) showed a significant difference in the prevalence of dilaceration among male and female patients. Mandibular third molars were dilacerated most often (3.76%), followed by mandibular second molars (1.81%). Dilaceration was found in 1.23% of maxillary second premolars and 1.23% of mandibular second molars. CONCLUSION: Root dilacerations are not uncommon among Turkish dental patients, and their early detection could be important in treatment problems associated with it. However, further larger scale studies are required to assess its prevalence in the general population in order to compare it with other ethnic groups.

OBJETIVO: El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar retrospectivamente la prevalencia y distribución de la dilaceración radicular para cada tipo de diente en una muestra poblacional turca de Anatolia Central, usando radiografías panorámicas. MÉTODO: Se examinaron las radiografías panorámicas de 6912 pacientes (3860 mujeres y 3052 hombres, edad promedio 29.04 años, rango 15 a 50 años) en busca de presencia de dilaceraciones de la raíz. También se usó la prueba de Chi-cuadrado para comparar la prevalencia de dilaceraciones entre los sujetos varones y hembras, y la mandíbula inferior y superior. RESULTADOS: Los datos mostraron que 1108 (16.0%) de estos sujetos tenían uno o más dientes dilacerados, detectados en 466 (15.2%) varones y 642 (16.6%) hembras. El análisis estadístico (prueba χ²) mostró una diferencia significativa en la prevalencia de dilaceración entre los pacientes varones y las hembras. Los terceros molares mandibulares se hallaban dilacerados con mayor frecuencia (3.76%), seguidos por los segundos molares mandibulares (1.81%). Se halló dilaceración en 1.23% de los segundos premolares maxilares y 1.23% de los segundos molares mandibulares. CONCLUSIÓN: Las dilaceraciones radiculares no son poco comunes entre los pacientes dentales turcos, y su detección temprana podría ser importante en el tratamiento de problemas asociados con ellas.

Estado de salud oral y nutricional en niños de una institución educativa de Cartagena, 2009 / Oral and nutritional health status in children attending a school in Cartagena, 2009

Objetivo Describir la asociación entre el estado nutricional y la salud oral de escolares de una Institución Educativa de Cartagena, Colombia. Método Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. La muestra fue 180 niños entre 5 y 12 años, evaluándose la desnutrición por pruebas antropométricas y bioquímicas, la dieta por cuestionario y las enfermedades gingivales, alteraciones en tejidos blandos, caries dental, alteraciones del esmalte y estado de higiene oral se midieron clínicamente. Para el análisis se utilizó la estadística descriptiva a través de distribuciones de frecuencia. Para la inferencia de los resultados se estimó la ocurrencia de la enfermedad por prevalencias y para la fuerza de asociación entre variables se utilizaron razones de disparidad, "OR" con intervalos de confianza del 95 por ciento y la prueba X² para la significancia estadística. Resultados Se encontró una ocurrencia de desnutrición crónica del 2 por ciento (IC 95 por ciento; 0,0-4,4). De las patologías orales las más prevalentes fueron; caries dental con 82 por ciento (IC 95 por ciento; 77-88), enfermedad periodontal con 66 por ciento (IC 95 por ciento; 59-73), fluorosis con 30 por ciento (IC 95 por ciento; 23-37), hipocalcificación con 11 por ciento (IC 95 por ciento; 6-15) e hipoplasia con 6 por ciento (IC 95 por ciento; 3-10). Con relación a los estimadores de asociación, la desnutrición con hipoplasia y el riesgo de desnutrición con fluorosis fueron los eventos que presentaron los más altos estimadores (OR=18,5; IC 95 por ciento; 2,33-147,2; P=0,000) y (OR=2,63; IC 95 por ciento; 1,02-6,76; p=0,04), respectivamente. Conclusiones Aunque no fue posible determinar asociación directa entre la desnutrición y las patologías orales, alternaciones como fluorosis e hipoplasia pueden estar influidas por la desnutrición.

Objective Describing the association between the nutritional and oral health status of children attending a school in Cartagena, Colombia. Method This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 180 children between aged 5 to12. Malnutrition was assessed by anthropometric and biochemical tests, a questionnaire was used for ascertaining theirdiets andgingival disease, changes in soft tissues, dental caries, enamel abnormalities and oral hygiene status were measured clinically. Descriptive statistics involved frequency distributions. Disease prevalence was estimated for inferring the results; odds ratios(OR)were used for assessing the strength of association between variables (95 percent confidence interval)and the X² test was used determining statistical significance. Results 2 percent (0.0-4.4 95 percent CI)chronic malnutrition was found. The most prevalent oral diseases were dental caries (82 percent;77-88 95 percent CI), periodontal disease (66 percent;59-73 95 percent CI), fluorosis (30 percent; 23-37 95 percent CI), hypocalcification (11 percent; 6-15 95 percent CI) and hypoplasia (6 percent;3-10 95 percent CI). Malnutrition and hypoplasia and the risk of malnutrition andfluorosis had the highest estimates of association (OR=18.5; 2.33-147.2 95 percent CI; p=0.000 and OR=2.63;1.02-6.76 95 percent CI;p=0.04, respectively). Conclusions A direct association between malnutrition and oral pathologies could not be determined;alterationssuch as fluorosis and hypoplasia could be influenced by malnutrition.
