The university thesis represents an academic work where the student demonstrates the research learned skills; however, its completion requires specific skills and subject to limitations. Objective. To identify the perceptions of a group of dental graduates about their experiences while the undergraduate students develop their thesis. Methods. Phenomenological study that interviewed 32 students graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru) through focus groups who successfully completed their degree thesis. The categories of personal, relationship and institutional factors were explored. The analysis was carried out inductively through opinions, search for similarities and synthesis of findings. Results. Three categories of analysis were found: personal, relational and institutional factors. Future job responsibility (personal factor) was p...

La paracoccidioidomicosis es la micosis más prevalente de Sudamérica. En nuestro medio la afectación mucocutánea y linfática suele ser la de mayor prevalencia, siendo el compromiso intestinal pocas veces reportado. Se reportan 4 casos de afectación colónica con manifestación de dolor abdominal, diarrea crónica y disminución de peso en los cuales el diagnóstico se realizó a través de la anatomía patológica con la tinción de Gomori. La edad promedio fue de 29 años. La colonoscopía reveló presencia de múltiples úlceras en colon y en íleon distal. Como comorbilidad se encontró VIH en un paciente.

Objective: To review the updated narrative literature on good oral health practices during the first 1000 days of life, that is, from gestation to two years of age. Materials and methods: A literature search was carried out in Pubmed and Scopus databases on february and march 2022. Original articles, and systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis, from 2016 to 2022 were included. For this purpose, search strategies were used with keywords in English taken from MeSH, such as: "prenatal care" AND ("dentistry" OR "oral health") / ("Pregnancy" OR "Infant") AND ("Oral Hygiene" OR "Toothbrushing" OR "Toothpaste") / (“Pregnancy” OR “Infant”) AND (“Prenatal nutrition” OR “Child Nutrition” OR "Breast feeding") / (“Pregnancy” OR “Infant”) AND “sugar intake” / “Infant” AND ("sucking behavior" OR "Nail biting") AND "dental occlusion" / (“Pregnancy” OR “Inf...

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the position of the apical foramen and the anatomic apex in uniradicular teeth. Materials and method: In this vitro study that included 71 teeth between incisors, canines and premolars, all of them were uniradicular. The position of the apical foramen (vestibular, palatal / lingual, mesial and distal) was evaluated as well as the distance from the apical foramen to the apex of the anatomic apex through an electronic Vernier. Results: In thirty-two dental pieces (45.1%) coincided the location between the apical foramen and anatomical apex; in 40 (56.4% ) the apical foramen was found at vestibular and palatal / lingual levels, In teeth where there was concordance, the largest amount was found at the level of the upper central incisors (31.3%). The distance between the position of the apical foramen and the anatomical apex was 0.36±0.41 mm. C...

Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre la posición del foramen apical y el ápice anatómico en piezas dentarias uniradiculares. Materiales y método: Estudio in vitro que incluyó 71 piezas dentarias (incisivos, caninos y premolares) uniradiculares. Se evaluó la posición del foramen apical (vestibular, palatino/lingual, mesial y distal) así como la distancia desde el foramen apical hasta el vértice del ápice anatómico a través de un Vernier electrónico. Resultados: Treinta y dos piezas dentarias (45,1%) coincidieron la ubicación entre el foramen apical y ápice anatómico; el 56,4% de forámenes apicales se encontró a nivel vestibular y palatino/lingual. De las piezas dentarias donde se encontró la coincidencia, la mayor cantidad fue encontrada a nivel de los incisivos centrales superiores (31,3%). La distancia entre la ubicación del foramen apical y el ápice anatómico fue ...
