The Prevalence and distribution of dental anomalies in patients with cleft lip alveolus and palate (CLAP) were studied using panoramic x-rays of 129 children (79 boys and 50 girls), 6 to 12 year old belonging the Institute specialized on Children’s Health, Lima - Perú, during 2005 to 2008. Hypodontia prevalence of 86.8% and supernumerary teeth prevalence in the 49.6% was found in the population. Both anomalies were simultaneously found in 43.4%. The studied population showed 78 patients with unilateral CLAP (60.5%) and 51 with bilateral CLAP (39.5%). According to the relationship between hypodontia distribution and gender, 68 cases (60.7%) were boys and 44 girls (39.3%); whereas in the supernumerary teeth, 42 cases (65.6%) boys and 22 cases were girls (34,4%). Comparing frequency of hypodontia and supernumerary teeth with the type of cleft, the most affected group was the bilateral CL...

The cleft lip and palate (FLAP) are considered as anatomical defects of deep aesthetic as well as functional impact which leads to a series of physical, functional and psychological sequelae. Within the extensive multidisciplinary treatment that patients undergo, the secondary alveolar graft is fundamental to resolve different sequelae such as anatomical defect, function and the search to continue with the proper development of the patient. The objective of this research is to review the extensive literature that exists between the parameters and considerations of this surgical technique, since there is great controversy among the various studies. The secondary alveolar graft is commonly performed between 9 and 12 years of age during mixed dentition and before the eruption of the permanent canine. According to the literature, autologous spongy bone presents the best results for this type...

Riga-Fede disease is a rare, benign disorder characterized by a reactive ulceration of the oral mucosa, which arises from repetitive traumatic injuries. The constant trauma can cause an ulceration large enough or annoying enough to interfere with proper suction and feeding, which would cause a risk of nutritional deficiencies, dehydration and infections. We have as diagnostic aid, the intraoral radiography, which in infants is taken with the Mannkopf technique. With respect to the treatment of this lesion there is varied information in the literature and it has changed over the years, there are conservative treatments as radicals. We present the clinical case of 7-month-old male infant, who presents with an ulcer on the ventral side of the tongue, with defined edges, approximately 3.5 cm x 2.5 cm in diameter, colored reddish with whitish areas, painful on palpation, with fever and eating...

La enfermedad de Riga-Fede es un trastorno benigno poco común, se caracteriza por una ulceración reactiva de la mucosa oral, que surge de lesiones traumáticas repetitivas. El trauma constante puede provocar una ulceración lo suficientemente grande como para interferir en la adecuada succión y alimentación, lo que provocaría un riesgo de deficiencias nutricionales, deshidratación e infecciones. Tenemos como ayuda diagnostica, la radiografía intraoral, que en lactantes es tomada con la técnica de Mannkopf. Con respecto al tratamiento de esta lesión hay variada información en la literatura y ha cambiado a lo largo de los años, existen tratamientos conservadores como radicales. Se presenta el caso clínico de un bebe de sexo masculino de 7 meses, el cual presenta una ulcera en la cara ventral de lengua, con bordes definidos, de aproximadamente 3,5 cm x 2,5 cm de diámetro, de co...

The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge on oral health of mothers and their relationship with oral health status of their children under five years old, who were admitted to hospitals of Ministry of Health (MINSA) and Social Security (ESSALUD). Were taken into consideration ethical standards. This is an analytical and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of mothers with children under five years of age (n 143). Was used not randomized quota sampling. Was applied a structured questionnaire to collect information about the level of mother´s knowledge on oral health and a diagnostic sheet for oral health status of children under five. Clinical examination was performed with artifitial light, using epidemiological indices: Dental Caries Index (dmft), and the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index by Greene-Vermillion (OHI-S). There was no significant association between ...
