The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of the Playful Method “Path to a Happy Smile” in the oral hygiene of children aged 8 to 9 years at the “Miguel Grau” Educational Center, Lima - 2017. The study began with the necessary permissions from institutions, authorities, and parents for project execution involving a sample of 82 children from the 3rd and 4th grades at the “Miguel Grau” school. Five 55-minute sessions were conducted using the Playful Method “Path to a Happy Smile,” covering topics such as dental anatomy, oral diseases, and oral hygiene measures in a didactic manner. Calibrated examiners recorded the O’Leary Index for all participating children before and after the method, filling out data collection forms to evaluate differences in dental plaque levels. Results: The Playful Method demonstrated effective capacity in reducing the dental plaque index in the studied population, with an initial plaque index of 90.1% (high) before the method, which decreased to 19.9% (low) after the intervention. Conclusion: The Playful Method “Path to a Happy Smile” significantly reduced bacterial plaque levels in a sample of 82 children at the “Miguel Grau” Educational Center.

This research aimed to determine the relationship between Helicobacter Pylori in dental plaque in children aged 7 to 11 years in anterior and posterior teeth at the Institución Educativa 3095 Perú Kawachi, Lima 2018. The sample consisted of 50 students aged 7 to 11 years, from whom a dental plaque sample was taken during an intraoral examination of both anterior and posterior teeth from the vestibular and lingual surfaces. The sample was placed in a test tube containing urea reagent (transport medium) and then sent to the laboratory for a urea culture test. The study was descriptive, observational, retrospective, and cross-sectional. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS v22.0 statistical package, with the Chi-square statistical test used to assess the association between variables. To determine prevalence, a frequency table was used. The results showed that 72% of children aged 7 to 11 had Helicobacter Pylori in their dental plaque. The study concluded that all students had Helicobacter Pylori present in both anterior and posterior teeth. It was also concluded that there was no statistically significant difference in the presence of Helicobacter Pylori based on gender or age according to the P-value. The majority of students presented Helicobacter Pylori, with factors of risk identified.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-11-02) Garay Gómez, Aída Luisa; Céspedes Porras, Jacqueline
The objective of this study was to determine the presence of Helicobacter pylori in dental plaque and the associated risk factors in children aged 6-8 years from the José Carlos Mariátegui School – Lima 2019. The research was prospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive. It was conducted in schoolchildren aged 6-8 years (both female and male). The sample consisted of 55 children. A health survey was used for data collection, and dental plaque was obtained using a swab, which was placed directly into urea broth and incubated at 37°C in the laboratory of the Universidad Norbert Wiener. Readings were taken at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and statistical analysis was performed on the obtained data. Results: The results showed that the presence of Helicobacter pylori was 63.6% (35 children), meaning the majority of the children had a positive diagnosis for this pathogen. The risk factor found was that the consumption of unboiled water was highly associated with the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the children.
