The aim of this study was to determinate the prevalence and severity of caries, DMF-T y the relationship of family, socioeconomic and behavior in the oral health Factor level in a scholar adolescent; It surveyed, assessed a sample of 212 females between 12 and 17 years old with permanent teeth of the Institution Educative Secondary Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes in October 2008 in Huánuco, Perú. It found a caries prevalence of 85,8 %, a DMF-T of 4,0, the light severity of cavity was major (36,3 %); the age, number of persons per house, family caregiver, tooth brush frequency, intake of cariogenic products, dental care, types of dental care service. It concludes that the cavity prevalence was high; the DMF-T was moderate; severity and prevalence of caries increment with the rise of the age, increment of the number of person per house, the type and amount of caregivers, low tooth brush ...

Several investigations explain that under physiologic conditions the cervical rachis influences the Temporo Mandibular Junction dynamics; being deduced that in pathological situation, pathology of Tempano Mandibular Junction would take place. According to this concept many authors determine that patients with Temporo Mandibular Disorders (TMD) show a higher prevalence of cervical dysfunctions, while others disagree this point. The investigation tries to clarify this alternative; being carried out a study of traverse and descriptive type; being selected 51 subjects of the staff of the department dentistry of the Hospital Military Central. Being used the index of Krogh Poulsen to evaluate the presence of TTD and the technique of Penning; to evaluate the alterations of the cervical posture; the data were processed through the test of CHI squared (x2). Being a prevalence of 50.9% of TTD and ...

Se ha realizado un estudio de tipo transversal y descriptivo con el propósito de relacionar los TTM con la postura cervical. Ser selecciono de manera no probabilística y por conveniencia a 51 personas que laboraban como personal asistencial en el Departamento de Estomatología del Hospital Militar Central cuyas edades se encontraban entre 20 a 40 años y de ambos sexos. Se realizo la anamnesis, examen clínico y radiográfico para evaluar la presencia de TTM y de alteraciones de la postura cervical a través del índice de Krogh Poulsen y del Análisis radiográfico con técnica de Penning respectivamente. Los datos fueron procesados a través de la prueba de Significancia estadística no paramétrica de CHI cuadrado (x2); este análisis estadístico se realizaron utilizando el programa SPSS. Los resultados indican una prevalencia del 50.9% de TTM , siendo mayor la prevalencia en el gr...
