Objective. To determine the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of eugenol against croton lechleri in the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Methods. This is an experimental study where 60 samples were included, divided into three study groups (G.E): G.E. 1 (croton lechleri), with 20 subjects; G.E. 2 (eugenol), with 20 subjects; and the control group (G.C), with 20 other subjects. The clinical characteristics, pain, erythema, healing time were evaluated; as well as the count of leukocytes and C-reactive protein, before and two days after the application of the treatment. The Student t-test, the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used. Results. Minor canker sores were more frequent, with 93.3 %; the round shape predominated in the subjects studied, with 63.3 %; with 28.3 % in several locations; followed by the tongue, with 25 %, and the labial mucosa, with 16.7 %.

Objective. To determine the antimycotic and antibacterial effect of Psidium guajavaL., at 50% and 90% on Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans. Methods. In vitro experimental study where 32 units of analysis were included (Petri dishes with strains of Candida albicans or Streptococcus mutans of which 16 samples corresponded to the four study groups of the Candida albicansstrain and 16 samples for the four groups of the strains of Streptococcus mutans, the positive control group (2% Chlorhexidine or Nystatin 100,000 IU) and the negative control group (distilled water). Antifungal and antibacterial effect was determined by quantifying the diameter of inhibition halo. For analysis of the data, Tukey test was used in ANOVA. Results.Psidium guajavaL. 90% had a greater diameter of formation of the halo of mean inhibition 14.40 ± 2.06 mm compared to Streptococcus mutans and a mean of 13.50...

Objective. was to determine the quality of removable partial denture (RP) design in working models performed in Huánuco as of 2017 according to the years of experience of the professionals. Methods. This is a descriptive level, cross-sectional, basic and prospective study. Under a quantitative approach, 280 working models for the fabrication of removable partial dentures were included in the study. Samples were collected in dental laboratories in the city of Huánuco. The components of the PPR design were observed for each sample. Descriptive statistics were applied. Results. 73 (91.3 %) did not carry out the shipping order (instructions from the dental professional about the design that the PPR should have), delegating the choice of the design to the dental laboratory technician and in a lower percentage did the instructions for the elaboration of the PPR 7 (8.8 %), 51 working models w...

The main aim of the study was to determine the quality of the design of Removable Partial Dentures in 2017 Huánuco working models based on the years of experience of the professionals.  Descriptive study, basic and prospective transversal type. With a quantitative approach, 280 working models for the preparation of removable partial dentures were included in the study. Samples were collected in the dental laboratories of the city of Huánuco. The components of the RPD design were observed at each sample. Descriptive statistics were applied. The results found 73 (91.3 %) did not make a system of design (instructions from the dental professional about the design that the RPD should have) delegating the design choice to the dental laboratory technician and a smaller percentage followed the instructions for the elaboration of the RPD 7 (8.8 %), from which 51 (63.8 %) were superior dent...

Dental caries is among the ten leading causes of morbidity in the country and in our region, ending mostly in exodontia, resulting in a postexodontic wound with risks of bleeding, infections and other oral health problems. The objective research was to determine the effectiveness of croton lechleri sp in postexodontic wound healing. The methodology research carried out was a quasi-experimental study with 50 adults from a Private Dental Clinic in Huánuco, 2015. An observation guide research was used in the collection of information on post orthodontic wounds. In the inferential analysis of the results used the U Mann-Whitney Test. Results: the average healing time of the postexodontic wound in the experimental group was 18.3 days and the control group was 27.1 days. Likewise, in the experimental group, the average time of disappearance of pain, edema, erythema, bleeding and clot formatio...

Objectives: To identify the risk factors associated with caries and periodontal disease in children from 7to18 years of age in the Center of Special Basic Education “Niño Jesús de Praga” in Huánuco 2017. Materials and methods: Observational, Analytical Design of cases and controls. A survey-type collection sheet was used. The sample was constituted of 60 special children (study group) and 60 non-special children (control group). Dependent variable: caries and periodontal disease (because they are the most frequent disease in the oral cavity). Independent variables: oral hygiene index, labor time, complication during pregnancy, salivary pH, carbohydrate intake and type of labor. Results: Among the risk factors for caries and periodontal disease, there is no statistically significant difference (p <0.05) with the labor time, nor the other factors. The following factors were deter...

Objective. To evaluate the effect of Heliocarpus americanus (Palo de Goma) as an adhesive for prosthetics. Methods. Experimental, prospective, crosssectional study. Sample size was calculated by the proportions comparison formula for independent groups, 32 subjects being included in two groups of: 16 patients for the experimental group (EG) "palo de goma" (Heliocarpus americanus), and 16 patients for the control group (CG) "Corega adhesive cream". To evaluate the effect of the adhesive, the taxonomic classifcationof the bark, phytochemical analysis, and infrared spectrophotometry were frst carried out at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, as well as the elaboration of the adhesive gel. Eight hours after the application of the adhesive gel, the stability and retention were measured using the Woelfel method, as well as the degree of acceptability according to the Hedonic scale.
