Objective: To investigate the influence of sociodemographic factors and characteristics attributed to the host, substrate and potential microorganisms in risk of early childhood caries on 2-to-5 years-old infants from a rural community of the Peruvian Amazon. Methods: Cross-sectional study in 155 pre-school children between 2-5 years old, from the district of Picha­naki. A clinical examination and questionnaire were carried out. For risk analysis, univariate and multivariate logistic regression models, corrected using the Holm-Bonferroni method and a bootstrapping with 10000 sam­pling cycles were used. Results: The prevalence of dental caries was 83.3%. Factors associated with dental caries were a history of urinary tract infections during pregnancy (p = 0.005), poor oral hygiene (p = 0.001), sharing utensils with their main caregiver (p = 0.018), and having older siblings with cavitie...

El presente estudio evaluó radiografías panorámicas y carpales de 150 historias clínicas de 64 pacientes de sexo masculino y 86 de sexo femenino atendidos en el Servicio de Ortodoncia del Departamento de Estomatología del Hospital Central de la FAP, entre los 8 y 17 años de edad. Se evaluó la maduración ósea de huesos de mano y muñeca utilizando el método de Tanner y Whitehouse II determinando la curva de crecimiento puberal, y los estadios de maduración dental de los caninos, primeros premolares, segundos premolares y segundos molares mandibulares del lado izquierdo utilizando el método de Demirjian. Se utilizó la prueba de correlación de Spearman para determinar la relación entre la maduración ósea y dental, encontrándose una alta correlación significativa para odos los dientes, siendo la más alta para el canino mandibular izquierdo (r=0,815) y la más baja para el...

In the current context of virtual education, due to the health emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2, the development of technologies has been of great importance, constituting the ideal scenario for mobile applications (apps) aimed at higher education such as complement to academic activities. The objective of this article is to describe the process of creating an application (app) to complement an academic activity. This application may be used by both students and graduates of the dentistry career, facilitating and optimizing their academic activities. The application has been developed under the Mobile Development Process Spiral methodology, which follows the following order: First, exploration phase; second, initialization phase; third, production phase; fourth, stabilization phase and fifth, test phase. This mobile application expects to be evaluated in usability and satisfaction by the s...
