Currently, many studies indicate that communicative techniques, compared to physical immobilization techniques, are more accepted by parents. However, there are few studies in the country regarding physical immobilization and the level of acceptance by parents. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the level of acceptance by parents or guardians regarding the behavior management of children aged 0 to 8 years using immobilization techniques in the district of Pinra, Huacaybamba province, Huánuco, 2014. The data collected was processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 for Windows 2010. The results indicate that parents are mainly in favor of active immobilization (83.3%), compared to passive immobilization (31.3%) and conscious sedation (46.0%), showing that the level of acceptance of dental behavior management techniques using immobilization differs significantly. It was concluded that the level of acceptance of the three physical immobilization techniques was independent of factors such as the parent's age, prior experience, education level, and the child's age, with the exception of the parent's gender, where a statistically significant relationship was found. It was noted that 60% of male parents disagreed with passive immobilization.

Dental caries is a pathological process resulting from the action of acids produced by bacteria. The most vulnerable population for developing caries is school-aged children, and they have become accustomed to living with it, despite increasing evidence that oral disease significantly impacts overall health and social well-being. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of dental caries and the level of knowledge about oral health in schoolchildren aged 8 to 12 years in El Agustino, Lima-Peru, 2016. A sample of 205 schoolchildren aged 8 to 12 years was selected. They filled out a previously validated oral health questionnaire, which consisted of 10 questions on prevention, dental caries, diet, and hygiene, with alternative responses and a score from 0 to 20, each scored with 2 points. The children were then evaluated through an odontogram to determine the CPO-D index.

The objective of this research was to determine the level of empathic orientation in students from the 4th to 10th cycles of the Dentistry Program at Norbert Wiener University. The study was observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective. The sample consisted of 323 students from the 4th to 10th cycles of the program. Empathic orientation was measured using the Jefferson Medical Empathy Scale (JSE). Data analysis was conducted using frequency distribution tables, measures of central tendency, and dispersion. The relationship between variables was evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. The study found that the average global empathic orientation score was 107.24. It was found that the academic cycle was statistically related to the global empathic orientation (p: 0.000). However, no statistically significant relationship was found between sex and global empathic orientation (p: 0.274). The study concludes that students in the Dentistry Program obtained high scores for empathic orientation using the Jefferson Medical Empathy Scale. The academic cycle was statistically related to empathic orientation, but no statistically significant relationship was found between sex and empathic orientation.

Dentomaxillary disorders have become the third most common pathology in the oral cavity, generally caused by poor habits. Objectives: To relate dentomaxillary disorders and oral habits in the dentition of students at IEA Salvador, 2017. Materials and Methods: This was an observational, prospective, cross-sectional, and analytical study. The sample consisted of 300 students aged 6 to 12 years from the Adventist Educational Institution Salvador, Lima 2017, who met the inclusion criteria. Dentomaxillary disorders were recorded in a clinical sheet, and oral habits were assessed through a survey answered by the parents. Results: The study found that dentomaxillary disorders were associated with non-nutritive sucking, mouth breathing, and onychophagia habits. It was also found that the atypical swallowing habit (0.11%), age (0.59%), gender (0.14%), and type of dentition (0.31%) were not associated with dentomaxillary disorders. Conclusions: The study concluded that age, gender, and type of dentition did not show any association with dentomaxillary disorders. Additionally, there was no relationship between intermaxillary dentomaxillary disorders and the atypical swallowing habit. However, there was a relationship between intermaxillary dentomaxillary disorders and the habits of non-nutritive sucking, onychophagia, and mouth breathing. Furthermore, a significant association was found between intramaxillary disorders and the habits of non-nutritive sucking, onychophagia, mouth breathing, and atypical swallowing.

The purpose of this study was to compare instruments for measuring the level of anxiety toward dental anesthesia in children aged 7 to 11, specifically considering their physiological response. This was a descriptive-comparative, cross-sectional study with a sample of 30 children aged 7 to 11 who required treatment involving local anesthesia. To measure anxiety levels, three questionnaires were administered: the Venham Drawing Test, the Fear Subscale (Children’s Fear Survey Schedule), and the Norman Corah Anxiety Scale (CORAH-M). Blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation were measured before administering anesthesia. The results showed that the Venham Drawing Test was the most specific instrument for measuring anxiety, while the physiological response with the most statistically significant differences was blood pressure. The Modified Corah Test indicated "mild anxiety" in 46% of cases, whereas the Venham Test reported "no anxiety" in 63% of children before anesthesia. The Fear Subscale’s most frequent response was "no fear." It was concluded that the instruments used to measure anxiety toward anesthesia in children aged 7 to 11 are reliable and align with pulse and oxygen saturation levels in each response.

This research study was conducted in vitro with the objective of comparing the antibacterial activity of essential oils from Schinus molle L. (molle) and Thymus vulgaris (thyme) with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate against Porphyromonas gingivalis. This experimental study was carried out at the National University of San Marcos in the Microbiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Dentistry. The sample consisted of 40 Petri dishes where the essential oils Thymus vulgaris at 100% and 50%, Schinus molle L. at 100% and 50% were used, compared with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a negative control. The disk diffusion method was used, and the dishes were incubated for 15 days at 37°C. The inhibition halos were measured only once at the time of measurement. Data analysis was processed using the Scheffé's Post Hoc statistical test. The results showed that, of the two oils, thyme had the greatest effect on Porphyromonas gingivalis, while molle had the least effect. Both thyme and molle essential oils exhibited greater antibacterial activity than 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-10-02) Huaraycama Sandoval, Daniel Enrique; Salcedo Rioja, Mercedes Rita
El objetivo de la investigación fue “Determinar si existe relación entre el diámetro faríngeo y las maloclusiones esqueléticas en usuarios de un Centro Radiológico en Lima, en el año 2024”. Se aplicó el método hipotético-deductivo desde una perspectiva cuantitativa y diseño observacional, con alcance correlacional, retrospectivo-transversal. La muestra incluyó 100 radiografías cefalométricas de pacientes entre 18 y 35 años, analizadas mediante observación con una ficha estructurada. Los hallazgos mostraron que el 53% de los usuarios tenía un diámetro faríngeo superior disminuido, mientras que el 84% era normal. En cuanto al tipo de maloclusión, la Clase I fue la predominante (52%), seguida por la Clase II (31%) y la III (17%). Los diferentes tipos de maloclusiones esqueléticas no presentaron correlación estadística con el diámetro faríngeo (superior e inferior) (p = 0.90 y p = 0.72, respectivamente). De igual manera, no se observaron asociaciones entre la edad, así como el sexo y el diámetro faríngeo superior, mientras que se observó una relación significativa entre el sexo y el diámetro faríngeo inferior (p = 0.038), donde la disminución en el diámetro fue más prevalente en los hombres. El análisis inferencial no encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el diámetro de la faringe y las maloclusiones esqueléticas (p>0.05), por lo que se concluye que no existe relación entre las citadas variables.

The objective of this study was to compare the in vitro effect of generic paracetamol and ibuprofen on salivary pH. The research used a hypothetical deductive method with a quantitative approach, applied type, and a completely randomized experimental design with one factor (type of solution). The number of replicates for each solution was determined with a 95% confidence level and 90% power. Thirty saliva samples were collected for each solution, with samples randomly assigned to each solution. Each sample contained 1.1 ml of saliva, with 30 samples assigned randomly to a 120mg/5ml paracetamol solution and 30 to a 100mg/5ml ibuprofen solution. 1.1 ml of each solution was added to each sample, and pH was recorded at 0, 15, and 30 minutes. Statistical analysis was performed using summary indicators of position and dispersion, and after applying normality tests to the variables, inferences were made using Student’s t-tests for comparing the means of two independent samples. The average salivary pH was 7.58, the paracetamol solution had a pH of 4.97, and ibuprofen had a pH of 4.05. The average pH recorded at time zero, when each solution was added to the samples, was 5.76 for paracetamol and 4.39 for ibuprofen. After 15 minutes, the average pH for paracetamol was 5.91 and for ibuprofen, it was 4.45. After 30 minutes, the average pH of the samples containing paracetamol was 5.93, and for those containing ibuprofen, it was 4.50. Conclusions: A critical pH level was achieved at all three time points with ibuprofen, affecting the saliva's ability to neutralize acids

The methodology used was a hypothetical-deductive method, quantitative approach, basic type, retrospective, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design. The population consisted of 2500 children, and the sample included 200 children. One instrument assessed early childhood caries, and another assessed hemoglobin levels, both created by the researcher. The most representative results showed that as age increases, the severity of caries increases significantly (p<0.00); and by gender, there were no significant differences between boys and girls (p<0.013). Age varied, but there was no trend, and the differences in anemia levels were not significantly different. According to gender, girls presented mild (30.9%) and moderate (15.5%) anemia levels compared to boys, although these differences were not statistically significant. No significant association was found between nutritional status measured as height (adequate/inadequate) and weight (adequate/inadequate). In each age group, a significant association was found between hemoglobin levels and caries severity. According to gender, in males, there was a significant association between caries severity and hemoglobin levels (p<0.00), and a relationship was found between early childhood caries and hemoglobin levels (p<0.00).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of family functioning and the dental caries index in 4th and 5th-year secondary education adolescents at I.E.N. 7221 Rinconada, San Juan de Miraflores during the 2021 school year. Materials and Methods: A total of 101 adolescents were evaluated, to whom a questionnaire with sociodemographic questions and family environment was applied, in addition to a family APGAR consisting of 5 questions and an odontogram. The APGAR consists of 5 items on a scale from 0 to 4, giving a maximum result of 20 and a minimum of 0. The odontogram was then performed to obtain the DMFT index for each adolescent. Results: Analyzing the perception of family functioning by age and sex, significant differences were observed between both sexes (p<0.05), but no significant differences were found by age. Significant differences were found in the average DMFT index according to the perception of functionality (p<0.05), but no significant differences were observed in the average DMFT index based on the number of siblings, birth order, or with whom the adolescent lives, nor based on the caregiver's educational level. Conclusion: The perception of family functioning and the DMFT index are inversely related, meaning that as the family functioning score increases, the DMFT index decreases.
