The research was conducted with the objective of defining the concentration of lead in deciduous dental enamel according to gender, age, and severity. Thirty-five microbiopsies were performed on the dental enamel of 35 children from the Quichas community; the sampling was non-probabilistic and convenient. 100% of the children had lead levels in their dental enamel. The results show lead concentrations ranging from 5.65 to 12.83 μg/g in children between 4 and 6 years of age. A significant relationship was demonstrated between lead concentration and age. It was concluded that the median concentrations are higher as age increases. Regarding the severity of lead concentration, it was found that 94.3% of the children had moderate concentrations (5 μg/g-10 μg/g) and 5.7% had severe concentrations (10 μg/g or higher). However, no statistically significant differences were found according to gender. It is recommended to further study the concentration of lead in dental enamel, analyze lead levels in blood and saliva, conduct studies on permanent teeth, and compare lead concentrations in deciduous and permanent teeth.

The present study is descriptive and retrospective in nature, with the general objective of determining the relationship between periodontal diseases and gingival biotype in patients treated at the Norbert Wiener Private University Dental Clinic in Lima, 2018-2019. A total of 314 medical records of patients treated at the Norbert Wiener Private University Dental Clinic were evaluated. Data on periodontal disease, gingival biotype, age, and gender were identified and recorded in a data collection form. The information was processed using the chi-square statistical test. The results showed that the highest prevalence of periodontal disease was in the form of periodontitis (66.2%). Periodontal disease, gingivitis, and periodontitis were found to be similar in both male and female genders. The prevalence of gingivitis decreased with increasing age, while periodontitis became more prevalent with age. The gingival biotype, both thick and thin scalloped, was similar between genders. The prevalence of gingival biotype was very similar across all ages, with the highest prevalence of gingivitis and periodontitis observed in the thin gingival biotype. The study concluded that there is a relationship between periodontal diseases and gingival biotype in patients treated at the Norbert Wiener Private University Dental Clinic in Lima, 2018-2019.
