The aim of this epidemiological, descriptive and cross sectional study, was to determine oral health-disease profile among 6-18 years old population in the district of San Juan de Miraflores, Lima. Sample were 160 students from four schools: three public and one private school: 79 men and 81 women. The results were: 75.4 % of caries prevalence and DMFT were 4.8, being higher in women.

Determina la comparación de dos técnicas de procesamiento de prótesis total frente a la colonización de Cándida albicans. Métodos: Estudio analítico, descriptivo. Se evaluaron 60 pacientes edéntulos totales que acudieron a la Clínica Odontológica de la UNMSM en el año 2019. Se dividió en dos grupos: pacientes portadores de prótesis total procesada a termo curado (n = 30) y pacientes portadores de prótesis total procesada a microondas (n = 30). La muestra se tomó mediante el frotis de la zona palatina de la prótesis en su parte tisular y luego fue colocada en un portaobjetos y en un tubo debidamente codificado, que contiene un medio de transporte (medio tioglicolato). La presencia de Cándida albicans se identificó mediante la prueba del tubo germinal, azul de lactofenol e hidróxido de potasio y sembradas en agar Sabouraud con dextrosa. Los resultados fueron llevados a u...
