    Relationship between the state of conservation of total protesis and amount of salival flow of elderly patients in the Canevaro asylum Lima-2018
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-11-22) Saucedo Ventura, Iris Vanesa; Del Castillo Ayquipa, Armando
    This research is correlational and prospective in nature. The design is observational, as the phenomena were observed without manipulating the study variable. Additionally, it is cross-sectional, as the data were collected at a single point in time. The target population for this research consisted of 100 elderly residents at the Canevaro Nursing Home. The data collection technique employed was the survey, and the instrument used was a questionnaire, which consisted of a set of items aimed at gathering relevant information to meet the research objectives. The results showed that salivary flow was as follows: 39.0% of patients had a flow rate of 0.3 to 0.5 ml/min, 32.0% had an increased flow rate of >0.5 ml/min, and 29.0% had a decreased flow rate of <0.3 ml/min. Regarding the condition of the removable dental prosthesis, 79.0% of the patients had their total removable prosthesis regularly maintained, 11.0% had a well-maintained prosthesis, and 10.0% had a poorly maintained prosthesis. Additionally, applying the Spearman's Rho correlation yielded a coefficient of 0.055 with a significance level of 0.586 (p > 0.05). The study concluded that the amount of salivary flow is not related to the condition of the total removable dental prosthesis.
