RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Older adults with poor oral health may be at higher risk of being pre-frail or frail. However, very few studies have examined this association in Latin American countries and middle-aged individuals. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between oral health and frailty status among Chilean adults ≥40 years. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: We included 3,036 participants ≥40 years from the Chilean National Health Survey 2016-2017. METHODS: Frailty status was assessed with a 49-item frailty index, while the number of teeth, self-reported oral health, tooth decay, use of prostheses, and oral pain were the oral health conditions included. To assess the association between oral health conditions and frailty, we used multinomial logistic regression models status adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle variables. RESULTS: Overall, 40.6% and 11.8% of individuals were classified as pre-frail and frail, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, individuals with ≤20 teeth had a higher likelihood of being frail (odds ratio (OR): 1.94 [95% CI: 1.18-3.20]) than people with >20 teeth. Moreover, people with bad or very bad oral health, as well as oral pain, had a higher likelihood of being pre-frail (OR: 2.04 [95% CI: 1.40-2.97] and OR: 2.92 [95% CI: 1.58-5.39], respectively). Middle-aged individuals with fewer teeth and poor self-reported oral health had a higher likelihood of being pre-frail and frail than people ≥60. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Individuals with poor global oral health were more likely to be pre-frail or frail. This association seems to be stronger in people <60 years old. Our results are consistent with previously published reports.

En el presente estudio descriptivo de incidencia, 604 niños menores de 15 años fueron examinados y atendidos en la Clínica de Odontopediatría del Complejo Asistencial Dr. Sotero del Río, con diagnóstico de Traumatismo Dentoalveolar (TDA), desde Enero a Diciembre del 2010. El propósito de este estudio fue caracterizar los TDA de acuerdo a la clasificación de Andreasen y Andreasen, determinar su frecuencia y distribución estacional, tipo y número de dientes afectados, distribución de género y edad, lugar de ocurrencia y causa. Para ambas denticiones, en conjunto, más de dos dientes comprometidos presentaron una frecuencia de 58.77 por ciento. Los análisis se dividieron por dentición y hubo 636 dientes definitivos y 414 temporales. En dentición definitiva se observó una mayor frecuencia en Mayo (15.36 por ciento), Abril (13.02 por ciento) y Noviembre (13.02 por ciento). Las fracturas coronarias no complicadas son las más frecuentes (40.88 por ciento) y los dientes más afectados fueron los incisivos centrales maxilares (77.66 por ciento). Los niños sufren más TDA que las niñas (64.97 por ciento). La mayor frecuencia de TDA para ambos géneros es a los 8 años. La principal causa fue caídas en el colegio (46.87 por ciento). En dentición temporal se observó mayor cantidad de casos en primavera-verano (53.74 por ciento). Siendo más frecuente en los meses Noviembre y Febrero (30.84 por ciento). Subluxación fue el diagnostico más frecuentes con un 39.61 por ciento. Los dientes más afectados fueron los incisivos centrales maxilares en un 82.13 por ciento. El género masculino fue el más afectado (62.56 por ciento). La edad en que se observó mayor frecuencia de TDA fueron los 2 años. La principal causa fue caídas en la casa (29.07 por ciento).
In this incidence descriptive study 604 infants less than fifteen years of age were examined and attended at the Pedodontic Clinic from Dr. Sótero del Río hospital with a diagnostic of dental trauma between January and December 2010. The purpose of this research protocol was to characterize dental trauma according to the Andreasen and Andreasen classification, and also to determine their frequency, seasonal distribution, type and number of the affected teeth, place of occurrence and trauma´s cause. All diagnostics were divided by dentition, 636 were from permanent and 414 from deciduous dentition. For both dentitions trauma in two teeth and more were in a frequency of 58.77 percent. On permanent dentition a mayor frequency of trauma was observed in May (15.36 percent), April (13.02 percent) and November (13.02 percent). The most frequent trauma was uncomplicated crown fracture (40.88 percent) and the most frequent teeth affected were the upper central incisors (77.66 percent). Boys suffered more trauma than girls (64.97 percent). The highest frequencies of trauma for both genders occurred at eight years of age. The main causes of traumas were: falls at school (46.87 percent). On deciduous dentition a mayor frequency of trauma was observed in spring and summer (53.74 percent) where November and February concentrated the highest rates (30.84 percent). Sub-luxation was the most frequent diagnostic at 39.61 percent. The most frequent teeth affected were also the upper central incisors at 82.13 percent. Boys also suffered more trauma than girls (62.56 percent). The highest frequencies of trauma for both genders occurred at two years of age. The main cause was home falls (29.07 percent).

A clinical analysis of the gingival tissues surrounding 17 subperiosteal dental implant posts was made. The clinical phase consisted in: Periodontal probe test locking for bleeding; peri-implant sulcus deep test; and the amount of bacterial plaque test on the subperiosteal post. The results showed clinically healthy tissues surrounding the subperiosteal posts. The presence of bacterial plaque is an important factor in the modification of the clinical inflammation parameters.
