The objective of this research project was to determine the attitudes and knowledge regarding childhood dental trauma in parents of children treated at the Dentistry Service of the María Auxiliadora Hospital, 2017. An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and prospective study was conducted. The sample consisted of 120 parents of children treated at the Dentistry Service of the María Auxiliadora Hospital in 2017. A questionnaire was applied to the parents to assess their attitudes and knowledge about childhood dental trauma. This instrument was previously validated by expert judgment (content validation). The survey also collected data on the parents' sex, age group, and level of education. The results showed that the predominant attitude towards childhood dental trauma was indecisive, and the predominant level of knowledge was regular, both in males (22.5%) and females (33.3%), with higher percentages in the 20-29 years and 30-39 years age groups, and higher percentages of secondary and technical higher education. The study concluded that due to the indecisive attitudes and regular knowledge levels regarding childhood dental trauma, it is necessary to inform and train the population to adopt appropriate behavior in response to this situation.

The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of mothers regarding oral health and the oral hygiene status of children aged 3 to 5 years from the I.E.P. Juan Espinosa Medrano, Lima - 2016. The study was analytical, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective; the sample consisted of 51 children, selected through probabilistic sampling. Hypothesis testing was conducted using Kendall’s tau-b and Chi-square tests, with p ≤ 0.05 and 95% confidence. The oral hygiene status of the children in the study was found to be 72.5% (37) at a regular level. The level of knowledge of the sample was acceptable at 72.5% (37). The attitude was favorable at 84.3% (43), while the practices were poor at 60.8% (31). A relationship was found between the level of mothers’ oral health practices and the children’s oral hygiene status [Kendall’s tau-b = 0.347 and p = 0.020]. No relationship was found between the mothers’ level of knowledge [Kendall’s tau-b = 0.084 and p = 0.300] and attitudes [X2 = 3.590 and p = 0.166] regarding oral health and the children’s oral hygiene status, thus accepting the null hypothesis. The study concluded that there is a relationship between the mothers’ oral health practices and the children’s oral hygiene status, accepting the research hypothesis.

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 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.
