Ítem Acceso abierto Adhesive resistance against shear forces of metal brackets using different adhesive cements. In vitro study. Lima – Peru 2021(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-01-25) Yanac Calero, Darwin Newton; Chanamé Marín, Ann RosemaryOne of the challenges in orthodontic treatment with braces is the installation and maintenance of fixed orthodontic appliances throughout the duration of the treatment. Therefore, the adhesive resistance to shear forces of metal brackets using different adhesive cements was determined. The research was experimental, cross-sectional, prospective, and comparative, where two types of cements were used: Orthocem and Heliosit, bonding to 20 dental pieces with their brackets. The laboratory mechanical procedure was then carried out using a universal testing machine, which applied vertical force at a rate of 1 mm/min until the brackets detached from the tooth, recording the data of this action. The adhesive resistance to shear forces of the metal brackets using the Orthocem adhesive cement was 2.592 ± 1.28 megapascals, and for the Heliosit adhesive cement, it was 2.437 ± 0.80 megapascals. The conclusion was that both Orthocem and Heliosit adhesive cements present similar adhesive resistance, with no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) to shear forces.Ítem Acceso abierto Adhesive strength of fiberglass bolts using two resinous cement systems. in vitro study. Lima Peru. 2021.(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-11-12) Muñoz Rodríguez, Senith Aide; Menacho Angeles, Gregorio LorenzoObjective: To compare the adhesive resistance of fiberglass posts using two resin cement systems. Methodology: 7 teeth were used for each cement type (Relyx U200 and RelyX Ultimate). A transverse cut was made at 2 mm from the cement-enamel junction on each tooth. The root canal treatment was then performed. For cementing with Relyx Ultimate, 37% phosphoric acid and Scotchbond universal adhesive were used beforehand, while for Relyx U200 cementing, the cement was applied directly. After cementing the fiberglass post, all teeth were cut into 1 mm thick discs, resulting in 6 discs. These root portion discs were taken to the DHL mechanical testing laboratory, where they underwent push-out testing to measure adhesive strength using a universal testing machine. Results: The adhesive strength of the fiberglass posts with Relyx Ultimate resin cement was 37 ± 14.59 Mpa in the cervical portion, 32.61 ± 8.44 Mpa in the middle portion, and 34.29 ± 9.13 Mpa in the apical portion. For Relyx U200 cement, the values were 34.05 ± 9.23 Mpa in the cervical portion, 38.43 ± 14.29 Mpa in the middle portion, and 30.15 ± 15.17 Mpa in the apical portion. Conclusion: No significant difference was found in the adhesive strength of fiberglass posts using the resin cement systems Relyx U200 and RelyX Ultimate in all three root thirds.Ítem Acceso abierto Analysis of the easy Biotype and its relationship with the type of smile in patients of the dental clinic “Familydent“ Lima-Peru 2021.(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-08-27) Diaz Mendoza, Miguel Angel; Gil Cueva, Silvia LilianaObjective: To determine the relationship between facial biotype and smile types in patients attending the “Familydent” dental clinic in Lima, Peru, in 2021. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 106 individuals who visited the “Familydent” dental clinic in Lima, Peru, in 2021. Sampling was done in two stages. In the first stage, the individual's age, gender, and facial biotype were recorded using data forms. In the second stage, the smile types were completed after photographing the individuals.

On the other hand, 94.3% of the individuals had a leptoprosopic biotype, 4.7% had a mesoprosopic biotype, and only one patient had an euriprosopic biotype. Regarding smile types, 42.5% had a low smile type, 49% had a medium smile type, and 8.5% had a high smile type. Conclusion: The significance value was (0.337), which is > (0.05), indicating that the null hypothesis is accepted and the alternative hypothesis is rejected. In other words, there is no relationship between facial biotype and smile types in patients attending the “Familydent” dental clinic in Lima, Peru, in 2021.Ítem Acceso abierto Analysis of the mandibular condyle vertical asymmetric index based on in the habets method in digital panoramic radiographs of the patients who attend the Vilcor Dental Imaging Center(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-04-15) Quispe Mamani, Estefany Liseth; Garavito Chang, Enna LucilaThe purpose of the study was to determine the frequency of vertical asymmetry of the mandibular condyle based on the Habets technique in digital panoramic radiographs of patients who visited the Vilcor dental imaging center in Lima, Peru. The approach was quantitative, basic, and observational, with 150 panoramic radiographs evaluated. The technique used was observation, and a data collection form validated by expert judgment was employed. It was found that when applying the Habets asymmetry index with a 3% cut-off, there was a prevalence of condylar asymmetry in the vertical plane of 58%, followed by mandibular ramus asymmetry at 31.30%, and the least prevalent was the combined condyle and ramus asymmetry at 12%. Regarding the vertical asymmetry of the condyle and ramus, the average for the right side was 50.59 mm, and for the left side, it was 50.31 mm, leading to a low prevalence of asymmetry at 12%. By sex, there was equal prevalence of asymmetry between females and males at 6%. By age, for the condyle and ramus, the prevalence of asymmetry was 4% for those up to 29 years old, 6.6% for those between 30 and 59 years old, and 1.3% for patients over 60 years old. The conclusion is that there is a low prevalence of mandibular condyle and ramus asymmetry evaluated in digital panoramic radiographs of patients who visited the Vilcor dental imaging center in Lima, Peru.Ítem Acceso abierto Anatomical determination of the ducts mesio-vestibular roots, through diaphanization in the Peruvian population(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-09-29) Torres Zelada, Cretta Tamina; Llerena Meza De Pastor, VerónicaThe objective of this research was to determine the anatomical constitution of the mesio–vestibular root canals through diaphanization in the Peruvian population. This was an in vitro study using 61 teeth (lower molars). The methodology was hypothetical-deductive, with a quantitative approach, descriptive type, and observational, descriptive, and comparative design. Results: According to Vertucci's classification, in an in vitro test of 61 teeth, the results showed that 50% (30 teeth) belonged to Type I with one canal, followed by Type III with one canal at 25% (15 teeth). The third group was formed by Type IV with two canals at 8.33% (5 teeth), and the fourth group was Type V with one canal at 6.66% (4 teeth). Conclusions: The prevalence of Type I was determined, indicating the anatomical variety of root canal types present in the roots of the first lower molar in the Peruvian population, according to Vertucci’s classification. It was determined that there is a prevalence of anatomical variety in the direction of mesio–vestibular root canals in the Peruvian population. Additionally, it was concluded that lower molars with a single root canal are the most frequent in the Peruvian population.Ítem Acceso abierto Anatomical variants of root canals in mandibular second molars evaluated in Cone Beam tomography in a dental imaging center(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-04-19) Pareja Maldonado, Maria Lizbeth; Llerena Meza De Pastor, VerónicaThe anatomical variations of the root canals in mandibular second molars were determined through Cone Beam CT scans in a dental imaging center.

The main issue to analyze is how artificial flavoring is associated with pH levels in locally marketed flavored water drinks. This aspect can be analyzed in a laboratory to measure the levels and their differences based on the flavor, with the ultimate goal of understanding the potential effects caused by the consumption of flavored beverages on the oral cavity and determining whether they provide any benefit to our health. Methodology: The sample used consisted of 5 types of beverages, with 25 samples divided into 5 of lemon flavor, 5 of blackberry and strawberry flavor, 5 of apple flavor, 5 of pineapple flavor, and 5 without flavor. Results: Based on the interpretation, it was determined that the p-value was greater than 0.05, allowing us to accept the null hypothesis and conclude that the variables are independent. Conclusions: The beverages used in the study showed varying pH levels among lemon, blackberry and strawberry, apple, pineapple, and non-flavored drinks, with acidic levels found in the flavored drinks, unlike the non-flavored drink. For dentistry, this generates a beneficial preventive result for the population.Ítem Acceso abierto association of early childhood caries and iron deficiency anemia in children aged 2 to 5 years served in the nursing service of the mi perú health center - callao, 2022(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-10-30) Villegas Torres, Wendy Luz; Marroquín García, Lorenzo EnriqueThe objective of this study was to determine the association between early childhood caries and iron deficiency anemia in children aged 2 to 5 years treated at the nursing service of the Mi Perú Health Center - Callao, 2022. Methodology: The study was observational, cross-sectional, and analytical.

The methodology used was hypothetical-deductive, observational, and analytical, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, and cross-sectional study. The results showed a significant relationship between dark pigmentation and the degree of caries in the students, with an association degree of 27%. The percentage proportion of caries gradually decreased in children with dark pigmentation. The prevalence of caries was found to be 85.7%, the group COP-D index was 4.14, the group caries index was 2.9, and the filling and extraction index was 0.05, respectively. It was concluded that there is a high prevalence of caries in the studied population, along with a 5.8% prevalence of extrinsic dark pigmentation, with a high prevalence of dark pigmentation of grade 3. The group COP index (4.1) is moderate, and the group caries index of 2.9 significantly lower than the COP index indicates that untreated caries prevalence is the main contributor to the COP index, and the low index (0.05) of fillings and extractions (0.05) can be interpreted as a lack of education in oral care and hygiene.
