The objective of this research was to determine the cariogenic potential of the diet consumed by students of the Dental School of the University Wiener. The sample consisted of all first-cycle students who met the inclusion criteria, totaling 97 students, who were interviewed using a validated instrument. The results were processed using the SPSS version 19 statistical program, employing descriptive statistics and Chi-square statistical tests. The results showed that 41.3% of the population consumed a diet with low cariogenic potential, 58.7% consumed a diet with moderate cariogenic potential, and no cases of students consuming a diet with high cariogenic potential were found. No statistically significant relationship was found between variables such as age, gender, or occupation. Other factors related to the university life environment were considered in this result, and it is recommended that future research delve into these factors. The study concluded that the majority of students consume a diet with moderate cariogenic potential.

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.

Traditionally, the oral health status of a population is assessed through clinical indicators; however, it is important to evaluate the impact of this condition on the overall well-being of children. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of oral problems (dental caries and malocclusions) on oral health-related quality of life in children aged 8 to 10 years attending I.E. 32385 Virgen De Fátima in the Llata District, Huánuco, in 2016. The study was observational, prospective, cross-sectional, and analytical. The sample was convenience-based, consisting of 110 schoolchildren. The results showed that the majority of the children were 9 years old (49.1%). More than half of the children perceived that their oral health was “Very good or Good,” reflecting a positive perception. It was concluded that, according to the CPO, the average score was (10.34 ± 3.13), indicating a very high experience of dental caries, while the frequency of malocclusion types was 81.5% for Type I, 8.3% for Type II, and 10.2% for Type III. Additionally, more than half (55.5%) had a positive perception of their oral health, while about a third (74.5%) perceived that their oral health affected their quality of life. Final analyses showed that having 0 to 5 teeth with experience of dental caries significantly impacts the oral symptomatology dimension within the CPQ8-10. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that 8-year-old children have a significant risk of impact on oral symptomatology and social well-being, as well as on the overall component of oral health-related quality of life.

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 study was to determine the relationship between dental caries and oral hygiene in children aged 6 to 12 years, in relation to the knowledge of oral hygiene and sociodemographic aspects of the parents from a public school in the district of Mala, Cañete, 2016. A random sample of 217 children of both sexes, aged 6 to 12, and their parents were evaluated. Dental charts were completed to determine the levels of DMFT/dmft (dental caries), OHI-S for children, and a questionnaire on oral hygiene knowledge for the parents. The SPSS v23 statistical package was used for descriptive statistical analysis, and the Chi-square statistical method was used for variable association. Results: A high dental caries index was found in 54%, and the general oral hygiene index was poor in 91%. The knowledge of the parents about oral health was poor in 51%. There was an association between dental caries, oral hygiene, and the parents' level of knowledge (p=0.000). An association was found between dental caries and the father’s gender (p=0.000). No association was found between dental caries and the father’s level of education (p=0.885). An association was found between dental caries and the number of children the parents had (p=0.000). There was an association between OHI-S and the level of education of the parents (p=0.000). No association was found between OHI-S and the father’s gender (p=0.885). No association was found between OHI-S and the number of children (p=0.998). Conclusion: There is an association between dental caries and OHI-S in relation to the sociodemographic aspects of the parents of the evaluated children.

The main objective was to determine the relationship between cognitive level and the presence of dental caries in first permanent molars of children aged 6 to 9 years, treated in the pediatric dentistry department of the Central Military Hospital of Lima, Peru, in 2018. The study was analytical, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective. The sample consisted of 100 parents with their respective children aged 6 to 9 years, selected through probabilistic sampling. A previously validated cognitive level questionnaire and a dental chart were provided. Informed consent was obtained. The hypothesis was tested using Kendall's Tau-b test for a p-value ≤ 0.05 with 95% confidence. The results showed that the cognitive level of the parents regarding dental caries in the first permanent molars of children aged 6 to 9 years was regular [72.0% (72)]; while 14.0% (14) had a good and deficient level. The prevalence of caries in the first permanent molars of children aged 6 to 9 years in the study was 52.0% (52) with a low level, while 24.0% (24) showed moderate and high prevalence, respectively. It is concluded that there is no relationship between the cognitive level of the parents and the prevalence of dental caries in the first permanent molars of children aged 6 to 9 years in the study, and the null hypothesis is accepted.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-07-16) Godoy Augurto, Luis Miguel Antonio; Hidalgo Constantino, Judith
The study titled "Association of Dark Extrinsic Dental Pigmentation and Dental Caries in Primary School Students of Educational Institutions in the Cieneguilla District 2023" aimed to determine the relationship between dark extrinsic dental pigmentation and the degree of caries in primary school students of educational institutions in the Cieneguilla district in 2023, as well as to determine the prevalences of dark dental pigmentation, the Shourie index, and dental caries. 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.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-05-31) Casachagua Inga, Miguel Angel; Céspedes Porras, Jacqueline
Dental caries is a highly prevalent disease in the pediatric population, and several studies have found its association with nutritional status. The objective of this research was to determine whether there is a relationship between dental caries and body mass index (BMI) in schoolchildren at the Private Educational Institution Davis Moody, Huancayo 2022. To achieve this, an explanatory method with a quantitative approach and a non-experimental, descriptive design at a correlational level was used. The sample consisted of 145 schoolchildren selected through intentional non-probabilistic sampling. The presence of dental caries was measured using the CPOD and ceod indices, and the BMI was measured using height and weight data. Data was collected using a previously validated form. The results revealed a prevalence of caries in primary teeth of 77.24%, in permanent teeth of 80.68%, and in mixed dentition of 100%. The level of caries experience was very high in 45.5% and high in 25.5%, with a mean of 3.50±3.078 for the ceod index, 2.90±2.006 for the CPOD index, and 6.41±2.680 for the sum of the ceod+CPOD indices. The mean BMI for the studied schoolchildren was 18.24±3.48, with 66.2% having a normal weight, 17.2% overweight, and 14.5% obesity. A weak, negative, and significant association was found between BMI and the ceod indices (r=0.321, p=0.000) and ceod+CPOD indices (r=-0.221, p=0.007), while BMI and the CPOD index had a weak, positive, and significant correlation (r=0.177, p=0.00). It was concluded that there is a significant relationship between the presence of dental caries and BMI in the studied schoolchildren, observing that in primary and mixed dentition, as BMI increases, caries indices decrease, whereas in permanent dentition, as BMI increases, the caries index slightly increases.

The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between the level of oral health knowledge of mothers and the presence of cavities in children aged 8 to 12 years in public and private educational institutions in Lima, 2018. The method used was descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 98 mothers and 98 children aged 8 to 12 years from the Thales Colina Educational Institution – Callao (Private). Additionally, 95 mothers and 95 children aged 8 to 12 years from Francisco Bolognesi Educational Institution (Public), totaling 386 participants. The instruments used were an oral health questionnaire and an intraoral clinical examination with a dental chart. The most representative results of the research revealed that both educational institutions had, for the most part, higher percentages of a “deficient” level of knowledge, and lower percentages of a “very good” level of knowledge in oral health among mothers of children aged 8 to 12 years in the mentioned institutions. Furthermore, both the public and private educational institutions mostly presented higher percentages of “severe” dental caries and lower percentages of “healthy” dental caries. Finally, it was found that there is a significant relationship between the level of oral health knowledge of mothers and the presence of cavities in children aged 8 to 12 years in both educational institutions.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-07-08) Murillo Cabrera, Lesly Astrid; Arauzo Sinchez, Carlos Javier
Dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease worldwide. One of the etiological factors of this disease is fermentable carbohydrates (sugars), as well as other modulating factors such as socioeconomic status. Objective: To evaluate the association between socioeconomic status and cariogenic potential in the diet of children aged 3 to 6 years in 02 districts of Metropolitan Lima during the COVID-19 quarantine period. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, relational, and prospective study was conducted with a convenience sample of 120 children, where the caregivers recorded a food diary for their child (frequency and time of food consumption at home) over 3 days of the week (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day), along with data related to the family's socioeconomic status. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationships between categorical variables, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results: The results showed that the low, medium, and high cariogenic potential of the participants was 5.8%, 48.3%, and 45.8%, respectively. The cariogenic potential was significantly associated with socioeconomic status (p=0.009). Children from socioeconomic level D had 3.5 times higher consumption of foods with high cariogenic potential compared to children from socioeconomic level C. [OR (95% CI)] [3.51(1.36-9.02)]. Conclusions: The consumption of potentially cariogenic foods in children during the COVID-19 quarantine period is influenced by family socioeconomic status.
