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 %.

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...
