El presente estudio, fue diseñado para identificar la frecuencia de adaptación de los colados en prótesis fija y removible en pacientes de la clínica odontológica de la Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal, tomando como muestra 100 trabajos que ingresaron al laboratorio de la facultad, el 38% fueron prótesis parcial re movible de cromo cobalto y el 62% prótesis fija. De esta muestra, el 78% de las prótesis parciales removibles, requirieron desgastes internos para su adaptación, ya sea de los ganchos, retenedores y/o opositores como de los apoyos, el 10% se debió repetir y tan solo el 12% adaptó sin ningún tipo de desgate, de las prótesis fijas, en promedio, e1 80% debió recibir: algún tipo de desgaste para su adaptación y un 18% debió de repetirse, mientras que tan solo un 2% no requirió de ningún tipo de desgaste. Estos resultados nos indican una alta frecuencia d...

Objetivos: Evaluar la calidad técnica de los tratamientos realizados por los operadores y la calidad percibida por los pacientes del Servicio de Operatoria Dental en una Clínica Dental Docente durante el año 2014.  Material y métodos: Participaron 216 pacientes de manera voluntaria y aleatoria a quienes se les aplicó una encuesta para medir la calidad percibida del servicio. Posteriormente, se evaluaron los tratamientos de operatoria que les fueron realizados para determinar la calidad técnica a través de la comparación con los protocolos de atención. Resultados: En relación con la calidad percibida, el 74,8% de los participantes percibe la calidad de atención como “Regular”, seguido de un 15,3% de pacientes que la perciben como “Malo” y un solo un 5% como “Muy malo”. Sólo un 4,3% la percibe como “Bueno” y un 0,6% la percibe como “Muy bueno”. En relación...

Objective: To evaluate the frequency and distribution of adverse events that occur in the development of dental treatments performed by clinical operators of a Teaching Dental Clinic during 2015. Material and Methods: An observational and descriptive longitudinal and prospective study was carried out to evaluate the frequency of adverse events in the dental practice of Dentistry students, for which a System for the Registration and Notification of Adverse Events in Dentistry was implemented aimed at 110 clinical operators in the areas of Restorative Dentistry, Oral Surgery, Endodontics and Oral Rehabilitation during 2015. Results: 167 adverse events were reported, representing 10.18% of the total treatments performed during the monitoring and evaluation period. Common, depending on the clinical field, were “Post-restorative treatment hypersensitivity” (restorative dentistry), “Over...

Objective: To describe the lesions in dental tissues and oral health disorders found during the occupational medical examination of workers in the construction sector in Lima, Peru. Material and methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out on 150 workers in the construction sector, selected by simple random sampling. A stomatological evaluation was carried out by direct observation, and a dental-occupational evaluation instrument was used with indexes for dental caries, caries severity and dental trauma, and indicators of clinical consequences of untreated caries (pulp pathology) and non-carious lesions. Results: The caries experience of operators without higher education (CPOD = 14.99) and with higher education (CPOD = 13.06) was higher than that of supervisors (CPOD = 8.23) and administrative workers (CPOD = 5.08). The operators without higher education (SiC = 18.04...

Objective: To describe intraoral and extraoral soft tissue lesions and periodontal health identified during the occupational medical evaluation of operational and administrative workers in the construction sector of Lima, Peru. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study conducted on 150 construction workers evaluated with a dental-occupational instrument with epidemiological indices for periodontal disease and clinical attachment loss, as well as indicators for intraoral and extraoral lesions. Results: The community periodontal index of young adult operational workers (bleeding = 3.58; pocket = 1.13) and mature adult operational workers (bleeding = 3.04; pocket = 1.16) was higher than that of young adult administrative workers (bleeding = 1.55; pocket = 0.73) and mature adult administrative workers (bleeding = 1.05; pocket = 0.84). Young adult operational workers (CAL= 36.50%; n = 19...
