Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the level of glycosylated hemoglobin and the presence of chronic periodontitis. Materials and method: 77 patients, were grouped according to whether or not chronic periodontitis. Data were collected where took it age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and a history of dyslipidemia, periodontal chart were written to set membership group of patients, they were sent to clinical laboratory to collect and process glycosylated hemoglobin samples. All signed informed consent. Results: HbA1c was 5.58% for chronic periodontitis group, and 5.31% for no periodontitis group, unadjusted values, determined it there was statistically significant difference (P = 0.000). Taking the risk variables it was obtained no statistical influence of gender or BMI. Even considering these risk factors, it remained significant difference (P = 0.001). No significant differenc...

Objetivo: Evaluar si existe relación entre el nivel de hemoglobina glicosilada y la presencia de periodon-titis crónica. Materiales y método: se evaluaron 77 pacientes, agrupados en función a si presentaban o no periodontitis crónica. Los datos fueron recolectados en una ficha donde se consideró edad, género, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y antecedentes de dislipidemias, se llenaron los periodontogramas para establecer al grupo de pertenencia de los pacientes, se les envió a laboratorio clínico para recabar y pro-cesar las pruebas de hemoglobina glicosilada. Todos firmaron el consentimiento informado. Resultado: se obtuvo un 5,58% de HbA1c para el grupo con periodontitis crónica (38 pacientes), y un 5,31% para el grupo sin periodontitis (39 pacientes), valores sin ajustar, se determinó una diferencia significativa (P=0,000), al realizar el estudio de las variables de riesgo, ...

The mental nerve (MN) is one of the anatomical structures important to identify, preserve and avoid injure. The knowledge of the layout and anatomical variants of MN is imperative for the performance of surgical procedures involving the chin area. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine, the location and frequency of emergency hole of MN, accessories nerves, presence of loops and their relations with the alveolar ridge and the mandibular border, by observing prepared anatomical human corpses. Methodology: 31 mandibles of corpses were dissected. Results: It was found that the most frequent distance between the emergency MN with respect to the mandibular alveolar ridge was the range of 11 to 15.5 mm at 57.6% and 11 to 15.5 mm in 72.7% respectively. NM’s relationship with respect to the teeth was that 63.6% of the cases is at the same height of the PMI 2a, 18.2% had accessor...

The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between hypo-salivation and corono-radicular caries in older adult patients, which analyzed the physicochemical properties of saliva (flow, pH), the frequency and location of the corono-radicular caries. Was selected a sample of 45 persons, adult patients over 60 years and another 18 to 26 years (control group), from service centers, hospitals and universities. The technique of collection of saliva, consisted of making chewing a piece of paraffin for a period of five minutes and gradually spit in a tank, which allowed to measure the volume and pH salival. We observed the oral higiene and the corono-radicular caries of all tooth surfaces. The results, the volume of saliva in the elderly, had an average of 3.27 ml/5min very low values compared with the values of young people who have an average of 5.22 ml/5min. It was found that 98 % o...
