“…In this study, we identified several variables associated with visits to the dentist in the last year to receive professionally applied topical fluoride; in addition, its prevalence was only 3.1%, which could be considered low when it is known to be one of the most effective measures to reduce the prevalence of caries, especially in a developing country. In Nicaragua, as in other Latin American countries [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ], oral health among school-age children shows unfavourable outcomes. There is a high prevalence of dental caries, high unmet oral health needs, and low experience of restorative treatment.…”

Objective: To determine the frequency and associated factors of visits to the dentist in the last year by Nicaraguan schoolchildren to receive professionally applied topical fluoride (PATF). Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed in children from public schools in the city of León, Nicaragua, were included. A series of socioeconomic, sociodemographic, and behavioural variables were collected through a questionnaire. The dependent variable was the visit to the dentist to receive professionally applied topical fluoride in the last year, which was dichotomised as (0) Did not receive PATF and (1) Yes received PATF. In the statistical analysis, binary logistic regression was used. Results: The mean age of the students included was 9 years, and 49.9% were girls. The prevalence of visits to the dentist in the last year to receive PATF was 3.1%. In the multivariate model, the associated characteristics (p < 0.05) were: female (OR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.34–4.50); the positive attitude of the mother to the oral health of her child (OR = 2.15, 95% CI = 1.03–4.50); and the best socioeconomic position (OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.36—5.31). Conclusions: The prevalence of visits to the dentist in the last year to receive professionally applied topical fluoride was very low (3.1%). The results of the socioeconomic position suggest the existence of certain inequalities in oral health. It is necessary to implement policies and programs aimed at improving this scenario.

La hipertensión arterial es una problemática sanitaria latente en todo el mundo, de modo que esta enfermedad crónica es muy frecuente a escala nacional y se constituye en la primera causa de muerte a nivel mundial, con una prevalencia promedio del 25%. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es revisar la literatura científica propuesta en bases de datos de acceso abierto según las variables establecidas para la búsqueda de información. Las variables fueron: hipertensión arterial, factores de riesgo y manifestaciones clínicas. En total se revisaron 24 documentos, incluyendo libros, estadísticas de instituciones de salud, reportes de salud y manuscritos científicos publicados en revistas indexadas en Scopus, ScIELO y Redalyc. Se menciona que el control absoluto de esta enfermedad depende de elementos como el gasto cardíaco y la resistencia periférica total; además, la mayoría de los pacientes que padecen esta patología no presentan signos y síntomas específicos con relación a la hipertensión arterial; comúnmente son identificados en un examen médico rutinario, y se ha evidenciado que este trastorno crónico asintomático genera lesiones en el corazón, riñones, vasos sanguíneos y cerebro. Palabras clave: tensión arterial, hipertensión, riesgos, evidencias clínicas.
