RESUMO

The objective of this study was to quantify the prevalence of and identify the factors associated with dental pain among elementary- and middle-school students in Mexico. An ecological study was carried out with data from the 2008 National School-based Student-Health Survey. Information on dental pain from schoolchildren (aged 5 to 16 years) was collected from public schools across the 32 states of Mexico. In the original study, a questionnaire was used to explore various factors that affect the oral and dental health status of schoolchildren. The outcome variable was the prevalence rate (for dental pain) reported at state level. Various contextual socioeconomic variables were included, in addition to dental caries. Analyses were performed using Stata software. 52.9% of interviewees were girls; 26.9% of male and female schoolchildren in Mexico experienced gum or dental pain during the period analyzed (95% Confidence Interval = 26.02, 27.77%); according to the Spearman correlation results, self-reported dental pain was unrelated (p > 0.05) to the socioeconomic and sociodemographic variables that make up the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Human Development (HDI), as well as the marginalization and the Gini indices. However, the estimated percentages of self-reported dental pain and caries were positively correlated in the elementary- (r = 0.8958, p < 0.0001), middle-school (r = 0.8958, p < 0.0001) and total populations (r = 0.8542, p < 0.0001). Prevalence of self-reported dental pain was 28%, or about one in three, of the Mexican children and adolescents in the study sample. The state-level sociodemographic and socioeconomic risk indicators were not associated with the prevalence of dental pain. Self-reported caries was positively correlated with self-reported dental pain.

RESUMO

Introduction: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a topical treatment for carious lesions and a primary preventative for newly exposed high-risk surfaces such as fissures and roots in the first molars. Using potassium iodide (KI) after applying SDF has been recommended as a way of reducing the severity of black staining, as well as preserving its antibacterial effect useful in deep caries. Objective: The objective of this research was to compare the antibacterial effect of SDF, with and without KI, on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and dental biofilm. Methods: The antibacterial effects of SDF, KI, and the combination of both were measured using three different techniques (inhibition halo, minimum inhibitory effect [MIE], and colony-forming unit [CFU], testing). Results: The results were then subjected to statistical analysis. Analyzed by means of the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test, the inhibition halos yielded a value of P = 0.3309. Using the MIE test, only the SDF treatment produced an antibacterial effect, at 10%, compared to the KI group, with P = 0.001. Finally, the CFU test revealed a total absence of colonies for all three reagents. All three substances analyzed achieved total inhibition of S. mutans. SDF is effective even in its minimal commercial concentration. Its antibacterial capacity decreases with the addition of KI. Conclusions: The three substances analyzed at their maximum concentrations exhibited an antibacterial effect against S. mutans, resulting in total inhibition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Prefabricated metal crowns (PMCs) have been widely used in pediatric dentistry due to their great success in various clinical situations. However, it is important to know the local effects, such as changes in pH in the oral environment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pH variations before and after placement of PMCs. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study (before and after) was performed with 32 pediatric patients who needed rehabilitation with PMCs at a pediatric dentistry clinic in a public university. Measurements were made using a pH potentiometer before PMC placement, one week after, and one month after placement. ANOVA and Pearson correlation were performed in SPSS. RESULTS: The average age of the participants was 5.9 ± 1.6 years, and 53.1% were female. The average pH before, one week after, and one month after crown placement was 7.46 ± 0.37, 7.00 ± 0.32, and 7.1 ± 0.19, respectively. Significant differences (p< 0.05) were observed between the three pH measurements. We found differences when comparing the basal pH values to those at one week (p= 0.001) and one month (p= 0.002). CONCLUSION: Although there were statistically significant differences in the pH change values before and after the placement of crowns, these differences may not have a clinical impact.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Adverse effects can occur during orthodontic treatment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between prevalence and severity of enamel demineralization using a laser-fluorescence device, with length of orthodontic treatment time. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 60 patients in a university orthodontic clinic. A clinical examination to establish demineralization at four sites on each tooth (premolar to premolar) was performed using the DIAGNOdent pen. The dependent variable was enamel demineralization, from which the prevalence (at least one affected site), extension (percentage of affected teeth) and adjusted average (average of the mean DIAGNOdent values per tooth) were calculated. The length of time for orthodontic treatment was determined in months. Various sociodemographic and clinical covariates were included. RESULTS: Average number of months under orthodontic treatment was 26.37 ± 24.81 months. Prevalence of enamel demineralization was 80.0%, its extension was 21.9% ± 17.2 and adjusted average of DIAGNOdent values was 6.09 ± 1.75. By quadrant, the teeth most affected were 14 (34.4%), 24 (25.0%), 31 (30.2%) and 44 (33.3%). No significant relationship (p> 0.05) was observed between enamel demineralization and length of time under orthodontic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of dental demineralization was observed. In this sample, no relationship was observed between months under treatment and dental demineralization, or with other variables included in the study.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to identify if the prevalence of dental pain (past and / or present) is associated with caries experience in Mexican children, as well as to characterize factors associated with dental pain. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a consecutive sample of 309 children 2 to 12 years old who were patients at a dental school clinic in Toluca, Mexico. Data were collected from clinical records. The dependent variable had three categories: 0 = have never had dental pain, 1 = had dental pain before the appointment, and 2 = current dental pain. Non-parametric statistical tests were used in the analysis. A multivariate multinomial logistic regression model was generated in Stata 11.0. Average age was 5.71 ± 2.43 years and 50.8% were boys. The joint dmft+DMFT index was 9.11 ± 4.19. It was observed that 56.6% of children did not report having experienced dental pain, 30.7% reported having previously had dental pain, and 12.6% had pain when the clinical appointment took place. In the multivariate model, variables associated (p < .05) with previous dental pain were age (OR = 1.13); the dmft + DMFT index (OR = 1.13), having had a last dental visit for curative/emergency reasons (OR = 2.41) and prior experience of dental trauma (OR = 2.59). For current pain, only the joint dmft + DMFT index (OR = 1.10, p < 0.05) had significant associations. Almost half of the children had experienced dental pain in their lifetime. Since caries experience is a factor associated with dental pain, decreasing caries levels may ameliorate suffering from dental pain in children.

RESUMO

Introduction: Preterm delivery is a multifactorial health problem that represents a serious public health problem around the world. In recent years, there has been an increase in scientific evidence suggesting associations between oral health status (mainly periodontal disease and tooth loss) and an increased risk of systemic diseases and various adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study explores the association between indicators of oral health and preterm delivery in a sample of Mexican pregnant women.Materials and methods: A case-control study was carried out with 111 pregnant (36 cases, 75 controls) who received prenatal care and delivered in an obstetric hospital in Pachuca, Mexico. Clinical files were reviewed to obtain the necessary information for the variables studied. The dependent variable was preterm delivery and the independent variables were gingivitis, periodontitis, DMFT index and its components, the number of decayed teeth with pulpal exposure or endodontic lesions, age of the mother, education, alcohol use, smoking status, number of gestations, and sex of the newborn.Results: The average ages were similar between the cases and the controls (24.29 ± 5.42 versus 24.89 ± 5.67, p = .5781). Significant differences were observed with gingivitis (p < .01) and periodontitis (p < .001). In addition, when the severity of gingivitis or periodontitis increased, the percentage of cases of preterm delivery increased (p < .01). The average number of teeth lost was higher among the cases than among the controls (1.33 ± 1.89 versus 0.81 ± 1.82, p < .05).Conclusions: It was found that gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth loss were associated with preterm delivery. It is necessary to carry out actions aimed at the preservation of oral health in pregnant patients to avoid adverse results. These findings indicate a likely association, but it needs to be confirmed by large and well-designed studies.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To identify the prevalence of and factors associated with the use of dental health services to receive professionally applied topical fluoride (DHSU-PATF) in the 12 months prior to the study among Mexican schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 years. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in 1,404 schoolchildren selected randomly from 15 public schools in the city of Pachuca, Mexico. Questionnaires were distributed to determine the demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral variables. The dependent variable was the DHSU-PATF in the year before the study, which was dichotomized as 0 (no DHSU-PATF) or 1 (yes, DHSU-PATF). We calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals. The analysis was performed in Stata 11.0. RESULTS: The prevalence of DHSU-PATF was 5.1%, but lower among younger children (OR = 0.86) and greater among children with health insurance (private insurance, OR = 3.64; insurance provided by the government owned oil company, the Army, or the Navy, OR = 5.03). The level of knowledge about oral health among guardians/ parents was also a factor (medium, OR = 2.37; high, OR = 4.05). Additionally, among the children whose parents/guardians perceived them (the children) as having good or very good oral health, the OR was 3.33; among children whose parents brushed their teeth with greater relative frequency, the OR was 8.74. Finally, DHSU-PATF was greater among children with relatively higher socioeconomic status (2nd quartile, OR = 3.29; 3rd quartile, OR = 5.99; 4th quartile, OR = 4.64). CONCLUSION: The receipt of PATF was low in this sample of Mexican schoolchildren and is associated with socioeconomic and behavioral factors. This gives us a guideline to create or improve topical fluoride application strategies in the public and private Mexican health systems.

RESUMO

Dental caries-a highly prevalent public health problem in preschoolers and school children-is the main cause of premature dental loss during childhood, and this may be related to loss of space in the posterior sector. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether interproximal caries and premature tooth loss (D and/or E) are risk factors for loss of space in the posterior sector.A comparative cross-sectional study (split-mouth type) was performed in schoolchildren (6-8 years old). Seventeen gypsum models were evaluated. These children presented with unilateral loss of a dental organ or interproximal caries (teeth D and/or E) and without such affectations on the other side. Measurements were made with a digital Vernier caliper. The dependent variable was the difference (loss of space, mm) between the control and case sides. The independent variables were type of affectation (interproximal caries or tooth loss), sex, age, arcade, and number of interproximal surfaces affected.The mean age was 6.82 ±â€Š0.44 years and 64.7% were boys. The average space loss was 1.09 ±â€Š0.18 mm (control vs case; P < .0001). A greater loss of space was observed among those who lost a dental organ than those with interproximal caries (P = .0119). A correlation was observed between the variable loss of space and the number of interproximal surfaces affected (r = 0.5712, P = .0166).Interproximal caries and tooth loss were risk factors for loss of space in the posterior segment in this sample of Mexican schoolchildren.

RESUMO

La leche materna es el alimento que provee al niño desde su nacimiento de todos los nutrientes que necesita para su crecimiento y desarrollo físico y psicológico. Su efecto sobre el tejido dental ha sido objeto de controversias, ya que se ha visto que actúa sobre la mineralización del esmalte y se ha asociado a caries de la infancia temprana. La leche humana tiene diversos componentes protectores para el esmalte dental pero al mismo tiempo contiene factores que pueden generar la pérdida de minerales. El propósito de esta revisión es exponer los elementos que producen la desmineralización y la remineralización del esmalte y proponer algunas medidas que apoyen la integridad de este tejido, así como recomendar la lactancia materna como la alimentación principal que el infante debe recibir durante el primer año de vida. La leche humana tiene diversas proteínas y elementos que ayudan en el proceso de desmineralización y remineralización del esmalte dental de la primera dentición. Se puede concluir que, la leche materna es el alimento ideal para los niños en los primeros años de vida. Por lo que hay que promover la lactancia materna como el método preferido para alimentar a los bebés. Se debe implementar la higiene desde que el primer diente erupciona en boca. Esta medida evitará que el posible efecto desmineralizante de la leche ejerza un efecto irreversible sobre el esmalte dental. Es conveniente orientar a las madres sobre el almacenamiento de la leche materna de tal manera que al ser consumida por el niño, no se encuentre acidificada, y no produzca un efecto dañino sobre el esmalte.


Breast milk provides the child of all the nutrients he needs for his growth and physical and psychological development beginning at birth. Its effect on dental tissue has been the subject of controversy, since it has been seen to act on the mineralization of enamel and has been associated with early childhood caries. Human milk has various protective components for tooth enamel but at the same time it contains factors that can cause the loss of minerals. The purpose of this review is to review the elements that produce the demineralization and remineralization of enamel and propose some measures that support the integrity of this tissue, as well as to recommend breastfeeding as the main feeding source that the infant should receive during the first year of life. Human milk has various proteins and elements that help in the process of demineralization and remineralization of the tooth enamel of first dentition. It can be concluded that, breast milk is the ideal food for children during the first years of life. Therefore, breastfeeding should be promoted as the preferred method of feeding babies. Oral hygiene should be implemented as soon as the first tooth erupts. This measure will prevent the possible demineralizing effect of milk from exerting an irreversible effect on tooth enamel. It is advisable to guide mothers on the storage of breast milk so that when consumed by the child, it is not acidified, and does not produce harmful effects on the enamel.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de traumatismos dentales en los pacientes que acuden a una clínica de Especialidad en Odontopediatría. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal retrolectivo, se incluyeron 309 expedientes clínicos de pacientes de 2 a 12 años de edad que acudieron para su atención a la clínica de la Especialidad de Odontopediatría de una universidad pública en Toluca, México. La variable dependiente fue la prevalencia de traumatismo dental. Las variables independientes incluidas en el estudio fueron: edad del paciente y sexo. El análisis estadístico se realizó utilizando pruebas no paramétricas en Stata 11. Resultados: El promedio de edad fue de 5.71±2.43 años y el 50.8% fueron hombres. La prevalencia de traumatismo dental previo al estudio fue de 12.0% (IC 95% = 8.3 - 15.6). En el análisis bivariado, a pesar de que los varones presentaron una prevalencia de traumatismo dental de 14.0% y entre las mujeres fue de 9.9%, estas diferencias no fueron estadísticamente significativas (p=0.262). Se observó que los niños con traumatismo dental fueron más pequeños (promedio de edad = 4.74±1.86) que los que no presentaron traumatismo dental (promedio de edad = 5.84±2.47) (p=0.0166). Al realizar la prueba de tendencia no paramétrica se notó que la disminución de la prevalencia de traumatismo dental fue significativa (p=0.026). Conclusiones: La prevalencia de traumatismo dental en esta muestra de niños fue de 12%. No se observó diferencia por sexo. Los más pequeños presentaron más traumatismo dental que los más grandes.


Objective: To determine the prevalence of dental trauma in patients who consulted at a pediatric dentistry specialty clinic. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study in which we reviewed 309 clinical files of patients from 2 to 12 years of age who consulted at the Pediatric Specialty Dentistry at a public university in Toluca, Mexico. The dependent variable was the prevalence of dental trauma. The independent variables included in the study were: patient's age and sex. Statistical analysis was performed using nonparametric tests in Stata 11. Results: The average age was 5.71 ± 2.43 years and 50.8% were male. The prevalence of dental trauma was 12.0% (95% CI = 8.3 - 15.6). In the bivariate analysis, despite the fact that males had a prevalence of dental trauma of 14.0% and among women it was 9.9%, these differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.262). It was observed that children with dental trauma were younger (average age = 4.74 ± 1.86) than those who did not present dental trauma (average age = 5.84 ± 2.47) (p = 0.0166). When performing the non-parametric trend test, it was noted that the decrease in the prevalence of dental trauma was significant (p = 0.026). Conclusions: The prevalence of dental trauma in this sample of children was 12%. No difference was observed according to sex. Younger patients presented more dental trauma than older ones.

RESUMO

La terapia con células madre ha atraído la atención médica como una alternativa al trasplante de órganos considerando las características que presentan estas células in vivo. En los últimos años la odontología ha despertado gran interés en el potencial terapéutico de las células madre obtenidas del tejido pulpar dental. La principal característica de estas células es su gran capacidad de proliferación, multidiferenciación, autorrenovación y la habilidad de diferenciarse en varios tipos de células como los odontoblastos, osteoblastos, adipocitos, condrocitos y células neurales. Acerca de las células multipotenciales existe una alta probabilidad en la regeneración de tejidos dentales así como la sustitución de materiales, los cuales son utilizados actualmente en odontología por materiales biológicos. Estudios y experimentos científi cos in vivo han demostrado la utilidad y viabilidad de las células madre pulpares para el tratamiento de lesiones bucales así como el potencial terapéutico y la regeneración de nuevos tejidos. En la revisión se incluyen estudios in vivo sobre la aplicación odontológica de las células madre pulpares de los órganos dentarios temporales y permanentes. También se muestra el potencial de regeneración tisular, benefi cios y aplicaciones clínicas con la fi nalidad de proporcionar información puntual a los lectores acerca de la seguridad y los alcances de la terapia con estas células enfocadas en la regeneración, reparación o reemplazo de tejidos y órganos de la cavidad oral (AU)


Stem cell therapy had attracted the medical attention as an alternative to organ transplantation, considering the characteristics these cells have in vivo. In recent years, dentistry has aroused great level of interest in the potential therapeutic of stem cells derived from dental pulp tissue. The main characteristic of dental pulp stem cells is the high capacity of proliferation, multidifferentiation, self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into other cell types such as odontoblasts, osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes and neural cells. In regard to multipotential cells there is a high probability about dental tissue regeneration as well as the material substitution, which are currently used in dentistry by biological materials. Therefore scientific studies and experiments in vivo have proved the usefulness and feasibility of pulp stem cells for treatment of buccal lesions, as well as therapeutic potential and tissue regeneration. In this review are included in vivo studies about the dental applications of stem cells from primary and permanent teeth. The potential tissue regeneration, benefi ts and clinical applications are shown, aimed to provide punctual and complete information to readers about the safety and therapeutic scope with dental pulp stem cells, focused on regeneration, replacement of tissues and organs of the oral cavity (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: Identificar los factores asociados a las visitas al dentista por motivo de extracción dental en niños nicaragüenses. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en una muestra de escolares de 6 a 12 años de edad. Se incluyeron 1400 niños de escuelas públicas, a cuyos padres/tutores se les aplicó un cuestionario para determinar una serie de variables sociodemográficas, socioeconómicas y dentales. La variable dependiente fue la visita al dentista por extracción dental (VDED), la cual fue categorizada como: 0=Sin visita al dentista, 1= VDED, pero no en el último año, 2= VDED en el último año. En el análisis estadístico se emplearon pruebas estadísticas no paramétricas. Resultados: El promedio de edad fue de 9.00±2.00 años y las mujeres representaron el 49.9%. Del total de la muestra, 21.6% acudieron al dentista por extracción dental, de los cuales 9.8% lo hicieron hace más de un año y 11.8% durante al año pasado previo a la encuesta. Las variables que mostraron diferencias significativas (p<0.05) en el análisis estadístico de las VDED fueron la edad, la edad de la madre, y la posición socioeconómica. Conclusiones: Uno de cada cinco niños tuvo VDED. Las visitas al dentista por extracciones dentales podrían utilizarse como un indicador del estado de salud bucal de la población, ya que son una aproximación a las necesidades de salud que presentan.


Objective: To identify factors associated with visits to the dentist for dental extraction in Nicaraguan children. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that was carried out in a sample of schoolchildren from 6 to 12 years of age. We included 1400 children from public schools, whose parents / guardians were given a questionnaire to determine a series of sociodemographic, socioeconomic and dental variables. The dependent variable was defined as a dental visit for dental extraction (VDED), which was categorized as: 0 = No visit to the dentist, 1 = VDED, but not in the last year, 2 = VDED in the last year. For statistical analysis, nonparametric statistical tests were used. Results: The average age was 9.00 ± 2.00 years, 49.9% of the total were females. Of the total sample, 21.6% went to the dentist for a dental extraction, of which 9.8% did so more than a year ago and 11.8% had gone during the year prior to the survey. The variables that showed significant differences (p <0.05) in the statistical analysis of the VDED were age of the patient, the age of the mother, and the socioeconomic status. Conclusions: One in five children had VDED. Visits to the dentist for dental extractions could be used as an indicator of the oral health status of the population, since they are an approximation the other health needs present in the population.

RESUMO

Introducción: la hipoacusia es la disminución de la agudeza auditiva o de la capacidad para captar el sonido; esta puede ser neurosensorial, conductiva o mixta. La hipoacusia neurosensorial resulta de alteraciones en el oído interno, nervio auditivo o en los núcleos auditivos del tronco cerebral. El manejo de estos pacientes requiere disposición, conocimientos y calidez para el correcto desarrollo de la atención estomatológica. Objetivo: reportar el manejo odontológico de un paciente con hipoacusia neurosensorial profunda bilateral. Presentación del caso: paciente femenino de 7 años y 10 meses de edad con diagnóstico de hipoacusia neurosensorial profunda bilateral, quien acude a consulta por presentar dolor. A la inspección física, paciente mesofacial, perfil convexo. Intraoralmente se observan tejidos blandos clínicamente sanos, alteraciones de número y posición, caries moderada e higiene deficiente. Durante la inspección clínica la paciente se mostró poco cooperadora (Frankl II). El plan de tratamiento consistió en prevención, operatoria, ortopedia y cirugía. Para el manejo del paciente se incluyó un lenguaje de señas básico con uso de careta y sin cubreboca, modelado con otros pacientes. Se modificó la técnica decir, mostrar y hacer por mostrar/oler, tocar y hacer. Conclusiones: el odontopediatra debe tener las competencias necesarias para la atención integral de pacientes con capacidades diferentes. El manejo de la conducta y el cuidado multidisciplinario del paciente en edades tempranas es fundamental para el éxito del tratamiento.

Introduction: hearing loss is reduced auditory acuity or a decrease in the ability to perceive sound. It may be sensorineural, conductive or mixed. Sensorineural hearing loss results from alterations in the inner ear, the auditory nerve or the auditory brainstem nuclei. Dental management of these patients requires willingness, knowledge and warmth on the part of the dental practitioner. Objective: report the dental management of a patient with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. Case presentation: a female patient aged 7 years and 10 months diagnosed with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss attends consultation for dental pain. At physical inspection, it is observed that the patient is mesofacial with a convex profile. Intraoral examination found clinically healthy soft tissue, tooth alterations in number and position, moderate decay and poor hygiene. During clinical inspection, the patient was uncooperative (Frankl II). Treatment consisted in prevention, restoration, orthopedics and surgery. Management of the patient included use of basic sign language and a mask without the practitioner wearing a facemask, and modeling with other patients. The technique of say, show and do was replaced by show / smell, touch and do. Conclusions: pediatric dentists should have the skills required for the comprehensive care of patients with different capabilities. Behavior management and multidisciplinary care of very young patients is essential for a successful treatment. The clinical case herein presented highlights the effectiveness of modified behavior management, which increased the chances of success in the patient's dental rehabilitation and follow-up(AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: la hipoacusia es la disminución de la agudeza auditiva o de la capacidad para captar el sonido; esta puede ser neurosensorial, conductiva o mixta. La hipoacusia neurosensorial resulta de alteraciones en el oído interno, nervio auditivo o en los núcleos auditivos del tronco cerebral. El manejo de estos pacientes requiere disposición, conocimientos y calidez para el correcto desarrollo de la atención estomatológica. Objetivo: reportar el manejo odontológico de un paciente con hipoacusia neurosensorial profunda bilateral. Presentación del caso: paciente femenino de 7 años y 10 meses de edad con diagnóstico de hipoacusia neurosensorial profunda bilateral, quien acude a consulta por presentar dolor. A la inspección física, paciente mesofacial, perfil convexo. Intraoralmente se observan tejidos blandos clínicamente sanos, alteraciones de número y posición, caries moderada e higiene deficiente. Durante la inspección clínica la paciente se mostró poco cooperadora (Frankl II). El plan de tratamiento consistió en prevención, operatoria, ortopedia y cirugía. Para el manejo del paciente se incluyó un lenguaje de señas básico con uso de careta y sin cubreboca, modelado con otros pacientes. Se modificó la técnica decir, mostrar y hacer por mostrar/oler, tocar y hacer. Conclusiones: el odontopediatra debe tener las competencias necesarias para la atención integral de pacientes con capacidades diferentes. El manejo de la conducta y el cuidado multidisciplinario del paciente en edades tempranas es fundamental para el éxito del tratamiento. En el caso clínico que se presenta se resalta la efectividad del manejo conductual modificado, lo cual incrementó la posibilidad de éxito de la rehabilitación dental del paciente, así como de su seguimiento(AU)

RESUMO

Los dientes que erupcionan antes de tiempo, desde el nacimiento o posterior a éste, son denominados comúnmente dientes natales o neonatales. Se clasifican de acuerdo al grado de maduración o apariencia. La prevalencia varía de 1 en 44 a 1 en 30,000 nacimientos. Son más frecuentes los dientes natales que los neonatales. Por lo general, pertenecen a la dentición primaria, ocurren de forma bilateral y predominan entre las mujeres. Todavía de etiología desconocida, la teoría más aceptable es que el germen dental tiene una localización superficial. Clínicamente se ven como dientes primarios normales, suelen ser más pequeños, algunas veces de forma cónica. Generalmente son móviles por la falta de formación radicular y presentan alteraciones del esmalte; pueden revelar una apariencia inmadura con hipoplasia del esmalte de bordes irregulares y agudos; su coloración puede ser marrón-amarillento / opaco blanquecino. Radiográficamente hay ausencia de raíz. Histológicamente, la mayoría de los dientes natales y neonatales pueden seguir un patrón de mineralización normal, pero también presentan alteraciones tanto en el esmalte como en la dentina. Otros descubrimientos incluyen ausencia de la capa basal de Weil, vaina de Hertwig y cemento; además de un incremento en el número de vasos sanguíneos dilatados en la pulpa. El tratamiento debe ser adaptado a cada diente y cada niño. Los tratamientos disponibles son: la extracción o el mantenimiento del diente en la arcada. La complicación más común de los dientes neonatales o natales es la ulceración traumática de la parte ventral de la lengua debido a la fricción, llamada úlcera de Riga Fede. No hay reporte de broncoaspiración. El tratamiento de los dientes natales y neonatales deben valorarse con mucho cuidado; estimando su movilidad, integridad, compromiso de la alimentación y la presencia de alguna úlcera.


Teeth that erupt early are commonly referred to as natal or neonatal teeth. They can be classified according to the degree of maturity or appearance. Their prevalence varies from 1 in 44 to 1 in 30,000 births. Natal teeth are more frequent than neonatal teeth, and they often belong to the primary dentition; they occur bilaterally and principally among women. The etiology of these teeth is unknown, and the most acceptable theory is that the tooth germ is located superficially. Clinically, they resemble normal primary teeth, although they are often smaller and sometimes conical. They are generally characterized by a lack of root formation, changes in enamel and dentin, an immature appearance with hypoplastic enamel and sharp irregular and edges, and yellowish-brown/white opaque coloration. Radiographically there is no root. Histologically, most natal and neonatal teeth may follow a pattern of normal mineralization, but also have alterations in both enamel and dentin. Other findings include absence of the basal layer of Weil, Hertwig's sheath and cement; besides an increase in the number of blood vessels in dilated pulp. Treatment should be tailored to each tooth and each child. Available treatments include extraction or maintenance of the tooth in the arch. The most common complication of neonatal teeth or natal is traumatic ulceration of the ventral portion of the tongue due to friction, called Fede-Riga disease (ulcer). No reports of aspiration exist in the literature. The treatment of natal and neonatal teeth should be assessed very carefully to estimate their mobility, integrity, feeding baby, and the presence of some ulcers.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE. To characterize utilization of oral hygiene devices and customs in schoolchildren. MATERIAL AND METHODS. We performed a cross-sectional study in 1,404 schoolchildren (6- 12 year olds) from 14 public schools in Pachuca, Hidalgo, México, using a questionnaire for sociodemographic variables and 1) Tooth brushing frequency (<1/d vs. at least 1/d), 2) Use of toothpaste (not always vs. always), 3) Flossing (never, does not know vs. at least 1/week), 4) Use of mouthwash (never, does not know vs. at least 1/week). Analyses were performed with nonparametric tests. RESULTS. Mean age was 8.97 ± 1.99 years; 50.1% were male. Prevalence of utilization of oral hygiene devices and associated customs were 85.5% tooth brushing, 90.9% toothpaste, 19.4% flossing, and 28.2% mouthwash. Only 11.8% of participants reported utilization in all 4 categories. We observed differences (p < 0.05) across sexes only in the use of toothpaste, as women used it more often. Differences across age were observed (p < 0.05) for tooth brushing (younger children brushed more often) and flossing (older children flossed more often). CONCLUSIONS. Tooth brushing was the oral hygiene practice more often performed in this sample, with other frequencies being relatively low. There were differences by age and sex across some variables.

RESUMO

El maltrato infantil es una patología de la cual se tienen registros desde las civilizaciones antiguas como la griega y egipcia; pero es hasta 1924 que se firma la declaración de Ginebra: Derechos de la infancia, siendo el IX derecho: No al Maltrato. En México se tiene registro de maltrato infantil desde hace 20 años. Se ha tipificado el maltrato infantil en dos grandes rubros: activo y pasivo, la negligencia odontológica es clasificado como maltrato pasivo, por lo tanto el odontólogo (en especial el Odontopediatra) debe prestar atención al hacer la inspección clínica y elaboración de historia clínica del paciente, para encontrar indicios de maltrato infantil y llevar a cabo la atención de estos pacientes con adecuado manejo de su conducta, la cual puede ser variable dependiendo el tipo de maltrato que ha sufrido. Las consecuencias del maltrato en cavidad oral son múltiples y pueden manifestarse a corto, largo y mediano plazo. En este artículo se presenta un caso clínico de maltrato por abandono, negligencia odontológica y las consecuencias que éste tuvo en la salud oral y general de la paciente.


Child abuse is a disease for which there are records from ancient civilizations like the Greek and Egyptian, but until 1924 when the Geneva Declaration was signed: Children's rights: No to Abuse. In Mexico records of child abuse have been kept for the last 20 years. It has classified child abuse into two major categories: active and passive, dental malpractice liability is classified as child abuse therefore the dentist (especially the pediatric dentist) should pay attention to realize a clinical inspection and preparation of patient history, for signs of child abuse, and carry out the care of these patients with adequate management of their behavior, which can vary depending on the type of abuse the child has suffered. The consequences of abuse in oral cavity are multiple and can occur at short, medium and long term. This article presents a case of abuse by dental neglect and the consequences that this has on oral health, and therefore on the general health of the patient.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the experience, prevalence and severity of dental caries and its relationship with nutritional status in nursery infants 17 to 47 months of age. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study in 152 infants 17 to 47 months of age attending one of five day care centers of the city of Pachuca, Hidalgo was performed. Clinical examinations were performed using the methods recommended by the World Health Organization for epidemiologic studies on dental caries. We calculated the caries index (dmft), the significant caries index (SiC) as well as the treatment needs index (TNI) and the care index (CI). Nutritional status was determined using the weight and height for age, in Federico Gomez's scale. In the statistical analysis nonparametric tests were used. RESULTS: Mean age was 2.52 ± 0.76 years; 51.3% were boys. With regard to nutritional status, 19.1% were classified as malnourished and 19.1% were overweight/obese. The dmft index was 1.53 ± 2.52. The SiC index was 4.14, the TNI 86.3% and the CI 13.7%. Caries prevalence was 48.0%. It was observed that 33.5% of children had 1 to 3 teeth with caries experience and 14.5% had 4 or more teeth affected. Statistically significant differences for tooth decay were identified (p < 0.05) by age, height and weight but not (p> 0.05) by sex and nutritional status. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that nearly half of children examined had caries experience. High treatment needs for dental caries were observed. A correlation was found between dmft index and age, weight and height. No association was identified between experience, prevalence and severity of dental caries and nutritional status of infants. It appears necessary to improve oral health preventive measures in these infants.

RESUMO

A lo largo del tiempo se han utilizado diversos materiales de obturación para pulpotomías de dientes temporales, con características tales que aseguren el éxito del tratamiento, tal como elOxido de zinc y eugenol, IRM, Ionómero de vidrio y actualmenteelMTA,que ha mostrado excelentes propiedades en comparación con otros materiales.Por tantoel objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el comportamiento clínico y radiográficodel trióxido mineral agregado (MTA) encomparación con el material de restauración intermedia (IRM) utilizado en el tratamiento en pulpotomía de molares temporales,en pacientesque acuden a la clínica de especialidaden Odontopediatría de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México,en el periodo de abril de 2010 a febrero de 2011.Materiales y métodos:Se seleccionaron 10 pacientes de entre 3 y 6 años de edad con caries en molares temporales; a cada uno se les realizaron pulpotomías empleando MTA e IRM formando dos grupos: 1. Grupo control con IRM en 11 molares y 2. Grupo con MTA en 12. Se realizaron evaluaciones clínicas y radiográficas a tres y seis meses.Resultados: De los 10 pacientes incluidos, uno fue excluido del estudio por no asistir a las citas control. La muestra definitiva incluye 6 niños y 3 niñas, con promedio de edad de 4.3años. Los dientes restaurados con mayor frecuencia fueron elprimer molar superior derecho e izquierdo temporal con 6 restauraciones cada uno. En la evaluación clínica no se observaron signos o síntomas de patología, alanálisis radiográficono se observo signos de patología a los tres y seis meses. Conclusiones: Ambos materiales demostraron ser una elección adecuada para la terapéutica de pulpotomías y mantener el órgano dentario con funcionalidad hasta el momento de suexfoliación. Se observó éxito en el tratamiento en el aspecto clínico y radiográfico.
