The objective of the study was to determine the frecuency of congenital and developmental oral alterations in infants aged 0 to 12 months, of Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño since July to December 2008. Methodology: prior informed consent of the parents, stomatological examination in 109 infants, 56 male and 53 female, was performed. Instrumental was used in clinical examinations, artificial light source of dental unit and a data collection sheet. Results and conclusions: 72,5% of the totality examined infant, showed congenital and developmental oral alterations. The prevalent ones were the Böhn’s nodules with 40,3%, the persistent upper labial frenulum with 30,2% and the Epstein’s pearls with 29,3% of cases. No significant differences with respect to gender and age group were found. From the group that presented oral congenital and developmental abnormalities, 45.9% were born...

In order to determine, in vivo antimicrobial effect of Camellia sinensis infusión (green Tea), as a mouthwash at 10 %; not stimulated saliva of 32 seemingly healthy people was collected: 1) Before mouthwash, 2) immediately after, and 3) after 30 minutes. The samples were spread in Agar Tripticasa Soy Bean and Agar Mitis Salivarius Bacitracina; then proceeded to the recount of the forming units of colonies of Mutans Streptococci for mL: The statistical analysis of results, by means of “t” and Wilcoxon tests, indicate that significant differences exists. On the other hand in the analysis of the mouthwash to determine polyphenols presence, by means of the infrared spectrophotometry peaks transmitted in wave lengths for the oxydril groups (-0H) and aromatic ring were observed. One concludes that there is an effective reduction in the number of microorganisms of the mixed salivary micro ...
