“…There are aspects related to orthodontic treatments in which the difficulty of oral hygiene that can lead to an accumulation of bacterial plaque causing tooth decay and dental loss, all these are closely related to the psychosocial factor that triggers an aesthetic dissatisfaction in the individual [29]. It is imperative to sensitize adolescents in the maintenance of proper oral health through preventive actions, regular visits to the dentist (6 months), identifying eating patterns and harmful habits in order to achieve an optimal oral health status that increases adolescent conformity with respect to their health and dental appearance [28].…”

Uno de los aspectos más importantes en el desarrollo de los seres humanos es el cuidado en la salud y bienestar desde la infancia. La salud bucal en este período es importante, por lo que las visitas al odontólogo o la aplicación de mecanismos de información pueden permitir tener una buena higiene bucal. El objetivo general de esta investigación es evaluar la efectividad del programa educativo para el cuidado de la salud bucal en los niños de educación de primaria de la Escuela “Aurora Estrada” del Recinto Tres Postes durante el periodo 2018-2019. La metodología empleada para tal fin abarca la investigación corresponde al enfoque cuantitativo. Los resultados se basaron en la salud bucal del Ecuador y los resultados de la encuesta realizada a los niños de la escuela. Como conclusión se tiene que los conocimientos y el índice de higiene son altos debido a que los escolares conocen el uso de los artículos de limpieza dental y la frecuencia en que deben hacer su cuidado bucal, así como de tener conocimientos para percibir que una falta de estos puede ocasionar problemas psicosociales en su entorno, demostrando así la efectividad del programa educativo.
“…(4) falta confianza en sí mismo .Como resultado, la presencia de patologías orales pueden impactar negativamente en la calidad de vida de los(5) adolescentes . De ahí que la salud oral se debe considerar como parte del desarrollo integral, ya que se consideran una población de riesgo, por dicho motivo se sugiere que cuenten con acompañamiento(6) continúo de la familia, la sociedad y el estado . En el reporte de "Salud bucal de las Américas" se determinó que existen disparidades en el nivel de salud oral, lo que lleva a pensar que esta epidemia silenciosa afecta a grupos específicos de la(7) población .…”
Introducción: La caries dental continúa siendo un problema de salud pública en países subdesarrollados, siendo una de las causas más importantes de problemas buco dentales en la adolescencia. Tener conocimientos sobre medidas de cuidado de salud bucal se asoció con un mejor estado de salud bucal.
Objetivo: Relacionar el nivel de conocimientos sobre salud oral con el índice de caries dental en adolescentes de 12 a 15 años, matriculados en la Escuela Básica Nº80 “General José Eduvigis Díaz” de Pirayú (Paraguay), en el año 2016.
Material y Métodos: El diseño fue transversal. Se realizó una evaluación clínica utilizando el Índice CPO-Dy además 12 preguntas sobre conocimiento de salud oral. La escala de puntajes fue de 0 a 28, donde valores elevados indicaron mayor conocimiento y puntajes³60% se consideraron con conocimiento suficiente. Se aplicaron las pruebas t de Student y U de Mann-Whitney, con un nivel de confianza del 95%.
Resultados: Participaron 70 adolescentes, el 62,9% fueron varones y el 37,1% fueron mujeres. El índice CPO-D fue de 2,24y el índice de caries de 1,17. Presentaron al menos un diente perdido el 42,8% de los adolescentes. El 93,98% de pérdidas dentarias correspondió a primeros molares permanentes. El puntaje promedio de conocimiento fue 17,31 (DE=4,48). El 54,30% tuvieron nivel de conocimientos suficiente.
Conclusión: El nivel de conocimientos no presentó relación con el índice de caries ni con el índice CPO-D, el nivel de severidad de caries fue debajo riesgo, pero un poco menos de la mitad perdió al menos un diente permanente. El nivel de conocimientos sobre salud oral fue suficiente en un poco más de la mitad. Se deberían reforzar los programas de prevención primaria y secundaria, a fin de evitar pérdidas dentarias a temprana edad.
