RESUMEN Objetivo: Comparar la edad cronológica y la edad dental empleando el método de Demirjian en pacientes de 5-15 años que acudieron a un Centro Radiológico Privado en el periodo de 2016-2017 en Armenia, Colombia. Materiales y Métodos: Se evaluaron 407 radiografías panorámicas tomadas entre el año 2016-2017. Se procedió a realizar el cálculo de la edad dental utilizando el método Demirjian tomando las 7 piezas dentales del maxilar inferior lado izquierdo. Posteriormente se realizó el análisis comparativo con la edad cronológica utilizando la prueba T Student y Wilcoxon. Resultados: El método Demirjian demostró ser un buen estimador en el sexo femenino para los grupos etarios de 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 y 15 años, y para el sexo masculino en los grupos de 6 a 14 años.

This article aims to approach the use of evidence in the formulation of public policies. To this end, we analyze the independent evaluations of the Education sector, particularly the Performance Evaluations and Budget Execution (EDEP – for its acronym in Spanish), which we take as a case study. In order to present the context in which this tool is located, first a brief account of the literature is presented about the use of evidence in public policies and the relationship between knowledge and public policies in Peru. . Secondly, the analysis of five EDEPs of the Education sector is presented in the light of the following axes of analysis: i) the profile of the researchers and the methodology used in the research, and ii) the analysis of the fulfillment of the consigned commitments. The article concludes that EDEPs generate an intermediate degree in compliance with their recommendatio...
