The objective of this research project was to determine the attitudes and knowledge regarding childhood dental trauma in parents of children treated at the Dentistry Service of the María Auxiliadora Hospital, 2017. An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and prospective study was conducted. The sample consisted of 120 parents of children treated at the Dentistry Service of the María Auxiliadora Hospital in 2017. A questionnaire was applied to the parents to assess their attitudes and knowledge about childhood dental trauma. This instrument was previously validated by expert judgment (content validation). The survey also collected data on the parents' sex, age group, and level of education. The results showed that the predominant attitude towards childhood dental trauma was indecisive, and the predominant level of knowledge was regular, both in males (22.5%) and females (33.3%), with higher percentages in the 20-29 years and 30-39 years age groups, and higher percentages of secondary and technical higher education. The study concluded that due to the indecisive attitudes and regular knowledge levels regarding childhood dental trauma, it is necessary to inform and train the population to adopt appropriate behavior in response to this situation.

The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of dental caries on the distal side of second molars adjacent to third molars in panoramic radiographs from a private dental clinic in the Surco district of Lima in 2016. This was a descriptive, observational, retrospective, and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 116 panoramic radiographs showing 176 lower third molars. The variables considered were dental caries on the distal side of the mandibular second molar, the angulation of the lower third molar (Shiller Classification), the impaction level of the lower third molar (Pell and Gregory Classification), and the distances between the cement-enamel junction of the distal second mandibular molar and the mesial third mandibular molar (Leone Classification), along with age and sex. Frequency analysis was performed. Results: The frequency of distal caries on the second molar adjacent to the lower third molar was 41%. This frequency was higher in males (24%) and in the age range of 20 to 29 years (18%). Distal caries on second molars occurred more frequently adjacent to lower third molars with a mesial angulation between 51° and 73° (11%), a level C impaction (16%), and when the distance between the cement-enamel junction of the distal second molar and the mesial of the lower third molar was between 8 and 10 mm (23%). A higher frequency of second molars adjacent to the lower third molar had no dental caries.

The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of three commercial mouthwashes in reducing halitosis levels in total edentulous patients at the Private University Norbert Wiener Dental Center, Lima 2017. The sample consisted of 75 total edentulous patients who visited the Private University Norbert Wiener Dental Center, where they underwent a halitosis test using a halitometer. This device classifies halitosis levels into 6 levels (from level 0 = no halitosis to level 5 = very strong halitosis). The data were recorded before using any mouthwash, 10 minutes after use, and 2 hours after use. Thus, the effectiveness of 3 mouthwashes in reducing halitosis levels was measured. The results showed that all three mouthwashes reduced halitosis levels, with the mouthwash containing zinc lactate as the main active ingredient achieving the greatest reduction in halitosis levels (1.67) after 10 minutes of use. This was followed by the mouthwash containing essential oils as the main active ingredient, which reduced halitosis levels by 1.36. Finally, the mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate as the main active ingredient also reduced halitosis levels by 1.21 after 10 minutes of use. The study concluded that all three mouthwashes were effective in reducing halitosis levels in total edentulous patients at the Private University Norbert Wiener Dental Center, Lima 2017.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-05-17) Santos Landeo, Magdalena; Vilchez Bellido, Dina
Older adults experience functional deterioration and a high prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing their need for care and elevating their level of dependence, requiring others to perform their daily basic activities, including taking care of their oral health. This responsibility is carried out in nursing homes by staff referred to as caregivers. If oral health care is not a priority for caregivers, it may influence poor oral care practices for the elderly under their care. The aim of this research was to relate oral health beliefs and oral hygiene practices among caregivers of older adults in nursing homes in Chaclacayo, 2021. An observational and relational study was conducted using a questionnaire that includes caregiver characteristics, oral hygiene practices with the elderly, and the Nursing Dental Coping Belief Scale (nDCBS), a Likert-type questionnaire to measure caregivers' oral health beliefs, in a sample of 47 caregivers from nursing homes. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using Chi-square, Student's t-test, and the Wilcoxon test (p ≤ 0.05 as significant). The results indicate that there is no relationship between oral health beliefs and oral hygiene practices of caregivers of older adults (p=0.119); incorrect beliefs were evident among caregivers, however, oral hygiene practices were correct. It is concluded that there is no relationship between oral health beliefs and oral hygiene practices of caregivers of older adults in nursing homes in Chaclacayo.

Introducción: El empleo de productos blanqueadores en base a carbón activado se ha incrementado en los últimos años, pudiendo presentar efectos sobre los materiales restauradores. Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de la exposición a un “enjuague bucal blanqueador” con carbón activado en la “microdureza” de una “resina microhíbrida”, in vitro. Material y métodos: El estudio fue de tipo experimental; la muestra consistió en 30 cuerpos experimentales de resina compuesta microhíbrida, en los que se realizó una medición basal de la Microdureza Vickers y posteriormente fueron divididos en grupos de 10 para ser sumergidos en 20 ml del enjuagatorio bucal blanqueador Colgate Total 12 carbón activado, del enjuagatorio convencional Colgate Total 12 antisarro y agua destilada, por un ciclo de 12 horas, simulando un uso anual de enjuagatorio bucal por 30 segundos por día, procediéndose nuevamente a la medición de la microdureza. Se calcularon las medias y se ejecutaron las pruebas de Wilcoxon y Tuckey. Resultados: Se evidenció la reducción significativa en la “microdureza” de los composites al exponerse al colutorio con sustancias blanqueadoras y carbón activado (p=0,00). Asimismo se demostró que esta disminución de la microdureza fue significativamente similar (p=0,01) entre el enjuague bucal blanqueador con carbón activado (7,3 Kg/mm2) y el enjuague convencional (4,9 Kg/mm2), a diferencia del mostrado por el agua destilada y ambos enjuagatorios (p valor=0,00). Conclusiones: La “microdureza” de la “resina compuesta microhíbrida” se reduce como consecuencia de la exposición al colutorio con carbón activado.

Objective: To determine the effect of salbutamol and budesonide inhalers on the microhardness of dental enamel. Materials and Method: Experimental (in vitro), cross-sectional, and prospective study. The study was conducted using 30 bovine dental samples, which were divided into two groups. The first group was administered salbutamol, and the second group was administered budesonide every 8 hours for 30 days. Indentations were made on days 7, 14, and 30 using a microhardness tester to measure the enamel microhardness in each sample. Results: Using the Vickers test, the initial average microhardness of the samples was 308.72 Kg/mm². The final microhardness of the samples exposed to salbutamol was 274 Kg/mm², and the final microhardness of the samples exposed to budesonide was 291.16 Kg/mm², showing that the microhardness of the dental samples decreased significantly in both inhaler groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Both inhalers have a negative effect on dental enamel microhardness. The inhaler that has a greater negative effect on microhardness is salbutamol compared to budesonide.
