The purpose of this study was to determine the injuries that occur in soft tissue support in patients carrying total denture attended at dental clinic of San Marcos University in 2012. There were 40 evaluated patients between 53 and 86 years old, previous calibration. In order to determine the changes into the mucosa of support, all patients underwent a cytological smear. Each sample was stained with the Papanicolaou technique and performed with Bethesda system. The results indicated that 95 % had mucosal lesions, of which 10 % had dysplasia cells, 7.5% leukoplakia stomatitis 55 %, 17.5 % hyperplasia, 5 % ulcer. The 90 % of the prostheses presented instability. No significant difference was observed in the different occlusal schemes. Therefore, we concluded that the majority of patients with unstable prosthesis have developed sub-prosthetic injuries; therefore we emphasize that the prost...

The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is an important mediator of the inflammatory reactions; it seems to play a central roll in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases including the periodontitis. It has been demonstrated that different rates exist from TNF alpha in vitro and in vivo between the individuals, so it can be associated with the presence of certain genetic polymorphism. The purpose of this investigation is to study the degree of polymorphism of the gene TNF-alpha (-308G/A) in samples of adult Peruvian patients and analyze the relationship with periodontal processes. For the study 81 blood samples with anticoagulant EDTA of people between 25 and 52 years were collected (47,5 average ± 7,4). 11 of them were people who had severe periodontal processes (average 35,2 ± 2,3). There was a greater frequency of genotype GG (G alele for the gene TNF-alpha-308) of the 82,...

The inclusion of the fascicle higher external pterygoid muscle (Lateral Pterigoid) disk articulate occurs from the middle third of the central region and contributes to the displacement of the disc and its alteration help discal displacement. On the insertion, there are differences of opinion; some consider that only a small portion of fiber is inserted into the anterior capsule and thus directly and indirectly to the disk; other researchers point out that it is directly inserted the disk and the condyle or only on the anterior edge of the capsule and the disc. The objective of the study was a histological analysis of the insertion of this muscle to differentiate the type of fibres that reach the disk articulate (proportion of collagen fibers and muscle fibers) and determine the type of union between the muscle and the disc articulate. The sample of this study of transverse and explorato...

The objective of this research was to determine the personal, academic and administrative factors that influence to obtain the academic degree of Dentristy Master in San Marcos National University for which we selected two groups of graduated without degree and graduated one. They were located personaly or by mail using a self-administered instrument. Was used the nonparametric test chi square. Relationship was found mainly with academics aspects as experience in the research area and the fact of being prepared for the development of a research project, have been responsible for a research project, having been participated as adviser or thesis project reviewer, having been published and carry out teaching, also administrative aspects due to the lack of administrative paperwork way and difficulties of acceptance from the institution where the work should be developed, finding no relation ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge on prevention in oral health in pregnant women attending the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of the Hipolito Unanue Nacional Hospital and San Jose Hospital-2011. We performed a prospective descriptive study, and Cross, in 249 pregnant women attending the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of the Hipolito Unanue Hospital and 158 patients who came to San Jose Hospital (2011). A questionnaire was administered to measure the level of knowledge about preventive oral health, oral disease and the relationship between dental care and pregnancy. 84 % of all pregnant women surveyed reported no dental care. Only 14 % have knowledge about oral hygiene items, and less than 50 % have knowledge about nutrition during pregnancy and its effect on the child’s teeth. 64 % have a good level of knowledge about preventive measures, however, ...

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of posterior insertion of the superior fasciculus of the external pterygoid muscle (Lateral Pteridoideo) in anatomical preparations of adult corpses. 4 dead between 25 and 60 years was selected, was dissected up to the zygomatic fossa to expose the lateral pterygoid muscle and the components of the ATM. Subsequent insertion ratio upper lateral pterygoid muscle bundle with respect to the disc joint, joint capsule and condylar identified, being said insert was articular disk. Macroscopically, the upper bundle insertion lateral pterygoid muscle at condyle neck was observed.
