Objective: To evaluate the relationship between caries experience and socioeconomic and clinical factors in children aged 5 to 12. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 103 children aged 5 to 12 from Puerto Colombia (Colombia) between 2022 and 2023. Clinical, socioeconomic, and demographic data were obtained from medical records. Poisson generalized linear models with robust standard errors were fitted to evaluate the relationship between caries experience and both socioeconomic and clinical variables. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) and their 95% confidence intervals were presented for crude and adjusted models. Results: Caries experience was 94.85% (n = 98), with a median of 8 affected teeth (IQR = 5-11). Additionally, it was significantly higher in stratum 2 (IRR = 1.4; 95% CI: 1.042-1.956) in children without access to water and gas services (IRR =...

Este informe presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 61 años con diabetes, hipertensión y antecedentes de COVID-19 grave, con osteomielitis del seno frontal y maxilar superior. El paciente refirió dolor intenso en la zona facial y maxilar durante dos meses. Las imágenes de tomografía computarizada mostraron un engrosamiento mucoperióstico del seno maxilar y la resonancia magnética mostró múltiples lesiones líticas a nivel del seno frontal, así como abscesos cerebrales en la región frontal izquierda que se correlacionaron con los cultivos microbiológicos. En el examen clínico intraoral se observaron segmentos con aspecto necrótico del maxilar superior, fístula orosinusal y múltiples focos infecciosos dentales. El paciente fue tratado con antibióticos, analgésicos, antiinflamatorios, insulina e inhibidores de la bomba de protones. Se realizó trepanación del seno f...
