La caries dental es una enfermedad multifactorial, conductual de alta prevalencia que afecta a los niños en edad escolar. Asimismo, se puede observar un rendimiento académico deficiente como resultado de diversos factores que impiden al estudiante alcanzar las competencias requeridas. Objetivo: Comparar la prevalencia de caries dental mediante el índice CPOD / ceod con el bajo rendimiento académico en escolares de 10 a 12 años en la Institución Educativa 1239 Fortaleza de Vitarte - 2019 Métodos: Diseño observacional, analítico, trasversal, prospectivo. La muestra estuvo conformada por escolares de 10 a 12 años de la Institución Educativa Fortaleza de Vitarte N° 1239, del periodo 2019. El tamaño muestral fue conformado por 136 escolares que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Se realizaron evaluaciones odontológicas previa higiene dental y se tomó registro del odont...

The recognition of people who lose their lives in natural disasters or accidents are complicated when the victims are total edentulous, therefore, the need to look for new forms of identification that are reliable and easy to be implemented. Taking into account this premise, a search of the information in the literature was carried out in order to demonstrate that the marking of dental prostheses is important in the recognition of people and that they can be implemented by the government of Peru. For which three marking techniques were chosen: QR code, Digital cards and Incorporation of metal band. A rigorous selection procedure of the information was carried out in the databases, Pubmed, Scielo and VHL (Virtual Health Library), with articles published between 2012-2019, in Spanish and English. 105 articles were found of which only 18 of them were chosen, which met the inclusion criteria...

 Objective: To compare the prevalence of dental caries through the DMFT /dmft index with the low academic performance in schoolchildren  at a public school in Lima. Methods: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional, prospective design. The sample was made up of schoolchildren aged 10 to 12 from the Fortaleza de Vitarte Educational Institution No. 1239, from the period 2019. The sample size was made up of 136 schoolchildren who met the inclusion criteria. Dental evaluations were performed after dental hygiene and a record of the odontogram was taken using the DMFT / dmft index, to determine the presence of dental caries. Likewise, the record of grades was collected to obtain academic performance.

  GObjective: To evaluate the prevalence of untreated dental caries using the pufa+PUFA index and its association with age and sex in schoolchildren aged 10 to 12 years in a public educational institution. Materials and methods: The study was descriptive, observational and cross-sectional. The data were obtained through the epidemiological survey of the period 2019, the registration was performed through the pufa+PUFA index. The relationship of variables was verified by means of Fisher's exact test. Results: A total of 136 schoolchildren aged 10 to 12 years were evaluated, 72 of whom were girls compared to 64 who were boys. The prevalence rate of untreated dental caries was 22%. At the pufa+PUFA index, the frequency was higher in the age of 11 years (9.6%) and in the male sex with (14%).
