The objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the maternal periodontal disease (EP) and the premature delivery (PP) and the low birth weight (BP). The study was a case-control study with 69 mothers, 19 cases (mothers of newborns with premature deliveries and low birth weight (PPBP)), and 50 controls (mothers of babies with gestational age > 37 weeks and birth weight > 2500g) at the “Madre Niño San Bartolomé” Teaching Hospital. The mothers were interrogated and their clinical histories reviewed. Data was recorded as follows: school level, marital status, smoking, alcohol and drug habits. Within 48 hours after birth delivery, one single examiner evaluated the modified periodontal disease index (IEP) recording the periodontal indicators: probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, gingival inflammation and bleeding and bacterial plaque. T...

El presente estudio prospectivo evalúa la asociación de enfermedad periodontal de la gestante con el parto prematuro y bajo peso al nacer. Se examinó a 90 gestantes de 22 a 29 semanas de gestación, en el Hospital Docente Madre Niño “San Bartolomé”, en el periodo de julio-agosto del 2008. En un primer periodo, se registraron datos de la gestación por medio de entrevista directa y se realizó examen clínico para evaluar inflamación gingival, sangrado al sondaje, pérdida de adherencia clínica, profundidad del sondaje y placa bacteriana, mediante el índice periodontal de Ramfjord, índice gingival de Löe y Sillnes e índice de placa bacteriana de Sillnes y Löe, respectivamente. Posteriormente, se examinaron datos de los nacimientos registrados para evaluar edad gestacional y peso de los neonatos. Dividimos cuatro grupos neonatales: prematuros con peso normal, a término con...

Introduction: The aligners have become a preferred alternative in terms of orthodontic treatment, surpassing the choice of conventional brackets, due to the comfort and aesthetics that the aligners represent, however, the final result with this system continues to be a controversial issue. The objective of this review was to verify the effectiveness of the treatment completed with aligners versus conventional brackets. Materials and methods: An exhaustive search was carried out in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Embase databases up to the date of January 5, 2023, including comparative studies that evaluated the final result and treatment time of the aligners compared to conventional braces. Two researchers carefully selected the articles evaluated and analyzed different key topics on the subject. Results: In this study, 8 articles were included, according to the studies, the vast m...

This study evaluates the relationship between the intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and the maternal periodontal disease (MPD). This case-control study of 120 mothers, 38 cases (mothers of babies with IUGR) and 82 controls (mothers of babies without IUGR) at the “Madre Niño San Bartolomé” Teaching Hospital. The mothers were interrogated and their medical histories were reviewed. Data was recorded, such as: the education level, marital status, smoking, alcohol and drug habits. All the mothers were examined within two days after the delivery. Only one examiner evaluated the plaque, gingival and periodontal components through the modified periodontal disease index (PDI) that observes the probing depth, clinical attachment level, proving bleeding, gingival inflammation and plaque presence. The frequency distribution and the Odds Ratio test were calculated. We found out that the ma...

Introducción: La percepción de los ortodoncistas sobre las técnicas de brackets cumple un papel importante en la planificación, al permitir una evaluación crítica de la estética facial del paciente. Objetivo: Comparar la percepción de tratamientos con brackets autoligantes y convencionales en ortodoncistas peruanos. Métodos: Un cuestionario fue aplicado a 168 especialistas en ortodoncia (53% varones, experiencia profesional promedio 9 años) para evaluar las preferencias por fases de tratamiento, beneficios de la consulta del paciente según el tipo de bracket, experiencia con Brackets autoligantes, características demográficas y clínicas (sexo, años de experiencia, volumen de atención y tiempo de experiencia). Las pruebas de Kruskal-Wallis y chi-cuadrado se utilizaron con un p < 0,05. Resultados: La preferencia total de los brackets autoligantes (48,9%) fue mayor frente...
