El síndrome de Sjögren es una enfermedad sistémica autoinmune de etiología indeterminada, que se caracteriza por la infiltración linfocitaria de las glándulas exocrinas. Las glándulas lacrimales y salivales son los principales órganos afectados, originando el cuadro clásico de sequedad: xeroftalmia y xerostomía. Es una enfermedad de distribución mundial, la cual no se conoce su exacta prevalencia. El SS debe evaluarse desde un punto de vista multidisciplinario, con participación activa del médico reumatólogo, oftalmólogo y odontólogo. La biopsia de glándulas salivales menores es una técnica considerada como el principal criterio de ayuda al diagnóstico del Síndrome de Sjögren, es de baja complejidad y tolerada por los pacientes. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de revisión de 100 Historias clínicas de pacientes que acudieron al servicio de Estomatología quirúrg...

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of oral habits more prevalent in the dental occlusion of infants who attended the dental clinic of San Marcos University. This is a descriptive and cross-section study in patients attending the Infant Clinic of the Child, in the 2010. The sample consisted in 50 infants who recorded the first plane of occlusion. The data collection was obtained through a survey to parents and subsequently performed clinical examination for registration of malocclusion in children. They applied the chi-square test of Pearson r (SPSS 17) with a significance level of 95 % (p <0.05).Our study observed a relation between the common digital suction depth of the palate with 60 % (11 infants) (p 0.01). Also was no relation between the plane and finger sucking terminal for within the age range of 19-36 months, also there was a terminal plane (straight or dista...
