“…Another relevant result was active caries damage, as the largest component of the dmft is untreated cavities, indicating a lack of access to dental care. This is consistent with previous findings in Chile, where there is a significant relationship between caries prevalence and socioeconomic status [20]. This was expected as the schools selected for this study are public, which generally concentrates families with lower incomes [20,21] which are served via the public health system [20].…”

Objective: To identify the factors associated with Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in preschool children of Concepción, Chile. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of enrolled preschoolers who attend public schools in Concepción, Chile. To measure OHRQoL, the chilean version of theEarly Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) was used; sociodemographic variables of the children and their parents were also recorded, as well as variables regarding the last visit to the dentist. To determine differences in the ECOHIS score for categorical variables, ANOVA and t-test were used, while Pearson's r was used to correlate ECOHIS with quantitative variables (p<0.05). Results: A total of 175 children were surveyed, with a distribution of 89 boys and 86 girls aged 56-to-79 months. The total score of the ECOHIS had a mean of 4.48 ±5.96, with a score between 0-38. Statistically significant associations were with parent's educational attainment (r=-0.159), dmft (r=0.380), OHI-S debris (r=0.174) and reason for the last visit to the dentist, the highest average in the ECOHIS scores was registered in the urgency reason. Conclusion: Oral health status, dental service utilization and educational level are associated with the OHRQoL of preschoolers of Concepción.

“…As dentists, we face the daily challenge of treating patients with malocclusion, dental absences, and even joint diseases [5]; these situations can be prevented with concrete actions that take age, risk, and family involvement into consideration [55]. This can help control the disease from its early stages, taking advantage of the fact that caries is a chronic, slow, and progressive disease [56] that requires support and education for mothers from pregnancy through the early post-natal period.…”

Dental caries in the preschool population presents a significant challenge in the field of global public health, including Ecuador. Early detection of this disease is crucial for developing effective strategies for prevention and promotion of oral health, which can have a substantial impact on the quality of life of preschool-aged children. This study evaluated 600 children aged 3 to 5 years attending preschool education centers using the ICDAS II diagnostic criteria. The Student’s t-test was used to analyze differences between the means of two independent groups. Additionally, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to assess differences between the means of three or more groups. The prevalence of caries was 87%, with a dft index of 3.85 in the three provinces studied. A high treatment need was observed in 84.17% of the population. No significant differences in the DFT index were found based on gender, although both groups exhibited elevated values. No significant differences were observed in relation to province and environment. The second molar was the most affected tooth, with a caries prevalence of 58.8%. Despite the lack of significant differences among the evaluated variables, a high prevalence and experience of dental caries were found in the studied population.

“…Respecto a los resultados se encuentra un estudio similar realizado en Ecuador donde indica que la prevalencia de caries en el grupo de 6 a 12 años fue de 62 %, la severidad de caries (ceo-d +CPO-d) fue de 2,80 y la edad más afectada fue los 9 años (9,10).…”

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el índice de ceo-d y CPO-d en escolares del municipio de Colcapirhua, Cochabamba. Metodología. El trabajo de investigación se desarrolló en el marco del enfoque cuantitativo, los diseños corresponden a descriptivo, observacional, de cohorte transversal y prospectivo. La población de estudio corresponde a 3.448 niños y niñas en edad escolar de 6 a 11 años. Resultados. De 3.383 escolares con una distribución mayor para los varones 50,5 % y para mujeres 49,5 %. La prevalencia de caries, según ceo-d para la población total, fue de 64,8 % y sanos 35,2 %. Se puede evidenciar que las piezas con caries en los niños de 6 años están presentes en un 27,2 % siendo el más alto y 3,5 % a los 11 años en menor proporción; es similar 27 % a los 6 años en las niñas y la edad con menos frecuencia de caries 2,4 % es a los 11 años. En cuanto a las extracciones en niños, el dato más elevado está a los 6 años 22,5 % y en menor proporción está a la edad de los 9 años; en las niñas se evidencia el mayor porcentaje a los 8 años 27,2 % y en una proporción menor a los 11 años 3,6 %. En relación con las obturaciones, con mayor frecuencia 28,8 % se da a los 8 años de edad en los varones y en las niñas a los 7 años 23,7 %. Discusión. El índice de CPO-d corresponde a 2,7 correspondiendo a un grado de severidad moderado y de ceo-d 4,7 reportando un grado severo, según los parámetros establecidos por la OMS/OPS. En Bolivia el 2015 hacen referencia que el índice de CPO-D a nivel nacional fue 4,6 y ceo-d 7,2; a partir de ello, la meta propuesta en el Plan Sectorial de Desarrollo Integral para Vivir Bien 2016- 2020 se cumplió.
