The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of aromatherapy in reducing anxiety levels in children aged 6 to 12 years who received dental care at the National Hospital Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen. The anxiety level was recorded using the Facial Image Scale (FIS) before and after the tooth extraction procedure. Additionally, vital signs were collected to assess the effect of aromatherapy on heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR). The study design was quasi-experimental, longitudinal, prospective, and applied. The sample consisted of 50 patients of both sexes. Among the most important findings, severe anxiety was observed in a small group of children. The results indicated a difference in the anxiety scales, HR, and RR taken before and after the intervention. It was concluded that aromatherapy helped pediatric dental patients feel lower levels of anxiety during dental treatment and also had a positive effect on their heart rate and respiratory rate, with a statistically significant decrease during pediatric dental treatment.

Evaluación de la asimetría mandibular mediante el método de bisección de radiografías panorámicas digitales en pacientes del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen. Lima Perú - 2023
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-08-14) Moreno Llerena, Ana Maria; Garavito Chang, Enna Lucila
La asimetría mandibular es una condición caracterizada por diferencias en tamaño, forma y volumen entre los lados derecho e izquierdo de la mandíbula, lo que puede generar alteraciones estéticas y funcionales. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la asimetría mandibular mediante el método de bisección de radiografías panorámicas digitales en pacientes del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen en Lima, Perú, durante el año 2023. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo y transversal, analizando radiografías panorámicas digitales con el método de bisección, tomando como referencia algunos trazos del índice de simetría de Kjellberg. Se trabajó con una muestra de 120 radiografías seleccionadas de una población de 520 casos disponibles, aplicando criterios de inclusión y exclusión específicos. Se analizaron las diferencias en la altura de la rama mandibular y se compararon según sexo y edad. Se determinó la frecuencia de asimetría mandibular de los lados derecho e izquierdo mediante el método de bisección. Los resultados revelaron que, si bien existieron diferencias individuales entre ambos lados, no se identificó un patrón uniforme de predominio, lo que sugiere que la asimetría mandibular puede presentarse en cualquiera de los dos lados sin una lateralidad definida. Asimismo, se observó que el 54.17% de los pacientes eran mujeres y el 45.83% hombres. La asimetría mandibular fue más frecuente en adultos entre 48 y 62 años. La mayoría de los casos correspondió a simetrías (32.50%) y asimetrías leves (28.33%), mientras que el 23.33% presentó una asimetría significativa. Se identificó una mayor incidencia de asimetría moderada y significativa en pacientes masculinos. Se concluye que la asimetría mandibular es una condición prevalente en la población estudiada y que el método de bisección de radiografías panorámicas digitales constituye una herramienta reproducible para su evaluación. Los hallazgos pueden servir como base para futuras investigaciones en ortodoncia y cirugía maxilofacial.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-06-14) Matamoros Ayuque, Marko Reyme; Garavito Chang, Enna Lucila
Introducción: Actualmente, El término “fluorosis dental” es una afección inducida por un consumo excesivo de flúor durante la fase de formación de los dientes. El agua con un valor de fluoruro cercano a 4 ppm causará en la población la fluorosis dental de manera extendida. La presencia de manchas entre marrones o blancas es lo que le caracteriza a La fluorosis dental, así como por la erosión del esmalte dental. La fluoración del agua potable se estableció en el siglo pasado como una estrategia profiláctica segura y eficaz contra la caries. Objetivos: Evaluar la relación entre nivel de concentración de fluoruro en agua de manantial y grado de fluorosis dental en la comunidad de santa bárbara, Huancavelica, 2023. Material y métodos: La concentración de fluoruro se determinará mediante el potenciómetro y el electrodo selectivo de fluoruro y la técnica para calcular la densidad de iones de fluoruro en boca se determinara mediante el índice de Deán. Resultados: Se encontró en las muestras de agua de manantial presencia de fluoruro, también se observó en los pobladores, según la escala de Deán una cantidad superior fluorosis dental de “normal” a “discutible”, encontrándose en inferior cantidad “intensa” Conclusiones: Este estudio evidenció que la severidad de la fluorosis dental depende de la concentración de flúor en el agua, ya que se puede concluir que los residentes que consumen agua con mayores concentraciones de flúor tienen una mayor severidad de fluorosis dental. La fluorosis dental no discrimina el género. De igual modo no hay una diferencia significativa en los niveles de fluorosis dental entre los grupos de edad.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-05-11) Cherres Sevilla, Reina Ysabel; Garavito Chang, Enna Lucila
Calcium silicate cements are commonly used in the field of endodontics. For this reason, Portland cement, due to its very similar composition, is being used for various endodontic therapies. This thesis aims to determine the experimental compressive strength of Portland cement associated with zirconia microparticles compared to MTA in Lima, 2020. The study is in vitro experimental. Portland cement, MTA Angelus cement, and Portland cement associated with zirconia microparticles were used in a sample consisting of 10 test bodies per group, totaling (n=30). The experimental compressive strength of the cements was evaluated using the Universal Instron® testing machine with compressive load in kN at a speed of 1mm/min, expressed in MPa. The results showed that Portland cement (CP) had the highest strength, followed by MTA-Angelus, and the Portland cement + zirconium microparticles (CP + OZi) group showed the lowest strength after 48 hours. Conclusion: Zirconia microparticles associated with Portland cement did not improve the mechanical properties after 48 hours, but Portland cement could potentially be used as an alternative to MTA-based materials.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-05-14) Chilón Trejo, Naysha Widne; Garavito Chang, Enna Lucila
Dental trauma represents one of the most serious public health problems, as evidenced by the high prevalence reported. Various studies have shown that crown fractures account for 26% - 76% of injuries in permanent dentition, most of which occur in the anterior sector. These injuries have a significant impact on the quality of life, affecting individuals physically, psychologically, and aesthetically. This study is a research thesis aimed at determining the frequency of dental trauma in relation to horizontal overbite and accidental causes in cadets from the Peruvian Air Force Academy (FAP) in 2018. It was found that the frequency of dental trauma in cadet patients from the Air Force Academy is high, with 48.5% of those examined presenting some form of dental trauma. Enamel-only fractures and enamel-dentin fractures were the most common lesions, and they occurred more frequently in male cadets. The most affected age group by dental trauma was the younger group (20 and 22 years). Additionally, it was determined that increased horizontal overbite and accidental causes are associated with the presence of dental trauma. It is recommended that the institution implement monthly seminars to raise awareness about the issue of dental trauma, providing guidance on prevention and teaching cadets how to respond in such cases.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-08-26) Sencebe Marcaval, Paola Gina; Garavito Chang, Enna Lucila
Objective: To compare the influence of polishing on dental composite resins in color differentiation when exposed to a staining beverage. Methodology: Two dental resins used for anterior restorations (Z350XT and Tetric N-Ceram) were employed. These resins were molded into discs with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 2 mm using an acrylic mold, adding layers of 2 mm resin until the desired dimensions were achieved. Additionally, three polishing systems (Sof-Lex discs, rubber cups, and Astrobrush) were used to generate a smooth and polished finish on the resin discs. The initial color of these discs was identified using a digital colorimeter (Vita Easyshade V), and the data were recorded in the data collection sheet. Subsequently, the resin discs were immersed in Coca-Cola for 15 days, after which they were removed from the containers, rinsed, and dried. The color was measured again using the digital colorimeter. The data were tabulated and processed using statistical analysis with Student's t-test and ANOVA. Results: The influence of polishing on Filtek Z350XT resin was 4.6 when polished with Sof-Lex discs, 7 with rubber cups, and Astrobrush. On the other hand, the influence of polishing on Tetric N-Ceram resin was 5.2 with Sof-Lex discs, 5.6 with rubber cups, and 6.4 with Astrobrush. Conclusion: The least influence of polishing was observed with the rubber cup and Astrobrush on Filtek Z350XT composite resin, while the greatest influence of polishing was observed with the Sof-Lex disc on Filtek Z350XT composite resin.
