“…In Mexico, dental caries is a public health problem in schoolchildren [16–25] ; however, the use of preventive methods other than fluoride in school populations has not been studied in terms of the costs involved in its use nor its results in terms of caries reduction. [26] Almost no clinical trials have been published in this country on this topic, which opens up new research avenues that will, eventually, allow health planners to make decisions based on evidence.…”

Introduction: Dental caries is the most frequent oral disease worldwide and the main cause of tooth loss in children and young adults. One of the most frequently affected areas is the occlusal surfaces of the first permanent molars (FPM) due to their morphological complexity. At present, several preventive treatments can reduce the incidence of this disease in school populations. In Mexico, the most commonly used technologies are those derived from some presentation of fluoride; on the other hand, research on this topic has been limited. Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness of two different methods for preventing the incidence of caries on the FPM of schoolchildren (6–8 years of age) from public primary schools. Material and methods: This is a randomized experimental design. Participants will be assigned to two treatment groups of 114 each. In the first group, pit and fissure sealants will be applied, whereas the second group will receive a fluoride varnish. The work will be carried out in schoolchildren that attend public elementary schools in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. The result variable will be the incidence of caries and the total cost of each of the interventions will be calculated in order to calculate the intervention's cost-effectiveness. Conclusion: This work will allow us to compare the cost-effectiveness of the pit and fissure sealants and the fluoride varnish in order to determine which offers the best results.

“…The present report is part of a project in which multiple oral health indicators were measured. The methodology about data on dental caries and dental trauma has been reported previously, 15,16 and it is summarized below. Sample size calculation was performed with a confidence level of 95%, an accuracy of 4%, a proportion (approximate value of the parameter) of 90% and an expected loss ratio of 10%, resulting in 314 individuals.…”

Dental pain prevalence associated with caries experience in pediatric patients in a clinical sample in Mexico

et al. 2021

The aim of this study was to identify if the prevalence of dental pain (past and / or present) is associated with caries experience in Mexican children, as well as to characterize factors associated with dental pain. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a consecutive sample of 309 children 2 to 12 years old who were patients at a dental school clinic in Toluca, Mexico. Data were collected from clinical records. The dependent variable had three categories: 0 = have never had dental pain, 1 = had dental pain before the appointment, and 2 = current dental pain. Non-parametric statistical tests were used in the analysis. A multivariate multinomial logistic regression model was generated in Stata 11.0. Average age was 5.71 ± 2.43 years and 50.8% were boys. The joint dmft+DMFT index was 9.11 ± 4.19. It was observed that 56.6% of children did not report having experienced dental pain, 30.7% reported having previously had dental pain, and 12.6% had pain when the clinical appointment took place. In the multivariate model, variables associated (p < .05) with previous dental pain were age (OR = 1.13); the dmft + DMFT index (OR = 1.13), having had a last dental visit for curative/emergency reasons (OR = 2.41) and prior experience of dental trauma (OR = 2.59). For current pain, only the joint dmft + DMFT index (OR = 1.10, p < 0.05) had significant associations. Almost half of the children had experienced dental pain in their lifetime. Since caries experience is a factor associated with dental pain, decreasing caries levels may ameliorate suffering from dental pain in children.

Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de traumatismos dentales en los pacientes que acuden a una clínica de Especialidad en Odontopediatría. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal retrolectivo, se incluyeron 309 expedientes clínicos de pacientes de 2 a 12 años de edad que acudieron para su atención a la clínica de la Especialidad de Odontopediatría de una universidad pública en Toluca, México. La variable dependiente fue la prevalencia de traumatismo dental. Las variables independientes incluidas en el estudio fueron: edad del paciente y sexo. El análisis estadístico se realizó utilizando pruebas no paramétricas en Stata 11. Resultados: El promedio de edad fue de 5.71±2.43 años y el 50.8% fueron hombres. La prevalencia de traumatismo dental previo al estudio fue de 12.0% (IC 95% = 8.3 – 15.6). En el análisis bivariado, a pesar de que los varones presentaron una prevalencia de traumatismo dental de 14.0% y entre las mujeres fue de 9.9%, estas diferencias no fueron estadísticamente significativas (p=0.262). Se observó que los niños con traumatismo dental fueron más pequeños (promedio de edad = 4.74±1.86) que los que no presentaron traumatismo dental (promedio de edad = 5.84±2.47) (p=0.0166). Al realizar la prueba de tendencia no paramétrica se notó que la disminución de la prevalencia de traumatismo dental fue significativa (p=0.026). Conclusiones: La prevalencia de traumatismo dental en esta muestra de niños fue de 12%. No se observó diferencia por sexo. Los más pequeños presentaron más traumatismo dental que los más grandes.
