Purpose: The study aimed to determine the DMFT (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) index, salivary flow volume, and salivary pH level in pregnant and non-pregnant adolescents at the Second Level Hospital Barranca - Cajatambo. Data Collection and Analysis: Data were recorded on a form and statistically analyzed using SPSS software version 21.0. Statistical tests used included Chi-square (X2) and Spearman's correlation coefficient, with a significance level of 0.05. Conclusions: It was found that 63.10% of the pregnant adolescent group belonged to the late adolescence stage, with these results being statistically significant (p=0.000). The DMFT index for pregnant adolescents was high at 50.80%, with these results being statistically significant (p=0.00). It was observed that the salivary flow volume (ml/min) was high in the group of non-pregnant adolescents, with these results being statistically significant (p=0.00). Pregnant adolescents showed an acidic salivary pH level of 66.5%, with these results being statistically significant (p=0.00). Additionally, it was found that pregnant adolescents aged 17 to 19 years had a high DMFT index (5.95 ± SD 5.47), with these results being statistically significant (p=0.008 and 0.002). Finally, the relationship between DMFT and salivary flow volume and DMFT and salivary pH level showed statistically non-significant results (p>0.05).

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.
