From an epidemiological point of view, non-syndromic orofacial clefts are the most common oral congenital deformities worldwide.Family histories were traced and socioeconomic risk factors identified for cleft lip with or without palate.A case-control study was carried out 208 cases palate, matched by age sex 416 controls. Cases patients attending a referral clinic from 2002 through 2004 in Campeche, Mexico. A questionnaire administered to collect sociodemographic variables as well familial...
Objective . We quantified the prevalence of impacted maxillary canines (IMC) and their association with other dental anomalies (DAs). Materials Methods A retrospective study was done 860 patients 12 to 39 years age. The IMC calculated compared by sex. sample divided into a control group an impaction group, in both for series anomalies: agenesis, supernumerary teeth, shape upper laterals (microdontia, peg barrel shape, talon cusp), fusion, gemination, transposition, amelogenesis imperfecta....

Objective. To identify dental pain prevalence and associated factors in Mexican schoolchildren. Methods. This cross-sectional study included 1,404 schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 years from public schools the city of Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo, Mexico. Data were collected through a questionnaire that addressed sociodemographic socioeconomic factors, eating hygiene habits, behavior variables. The dependent variable was self-reported months prior survey. analyzed using nonparametric statistics...
The objective of this study was to compare the differences between measurements performed manually those obtained using a digital model scanner patients with orthodontic treatment.A cross-sectional in sample 30 models from permanent dentition who attended university clinic January 2010 and December 2015. For measurement, Maestro 3D Ortho Studio (Italy) used Mitutoyo electronic Vernier calipers (Kawasaki, Japan) were for manual measurement. outcome variables maxillary intercanine width,...
Objective: To compare a limited array of chewing-stimulated saliva features (salivary flow, pH and buffer capacity) in sample elderly Mexicans with clinical, sociodemographic socio-economic variables. Subjects Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out 139 adults, 60 years old older, from two retirement homes senior day care centre the city Pachuca, Mexico.Sociodemographic, behavioural variables were collected through questionnaire.A trained standardized examiner obtained oral clinical...
Background: Data on dental anomaly prevalence is instrumental to diagnosis and treatment in different populations. A retrospective study was done determine associations a group of orthodontic patients Mexican population. Methods: Number, shape, eruption structural anomalies were assessed from the records 670 subjects. Prevalence, distribution, between calculated. Chi-squared Fisher’s exact tests (p<0.05) used identify significant differences by sex, establish among studied anomalies....
Dental caries-a highly prevalent public health problem in preschoolers and school children-is the main cause of premature dental loss during childhood, this may be related to space posterior sector. The objective study was evaluate whether interproximal caries tooth (D and/or E) are risk factors for sector.A comparative cross-sectional (split-mouth type) performed schoolchildren (6-8 years old). Seventeen gypsum models were evaluated. These children presented with unilateral a organ or...
To determine the treatment needs and care index for dental caries in primary dentition permanent of schoolchildren to quantify cost that would represent Mexico.A secondary analysis data from First National Caries Survey was conducted, which a cross-sectional study conducted 32 states Mexico. Based on dmft (average number decayed, extracted, filled teeth dentition) DMFT information, (TNI) (CI) were calculated.At age 6, TNI ranged 81.7% 99.5% CI 0.5% 17.6%. In dentition, 58.8% 100%, 0.0%...
Objective: To evaluate the association between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and malocclusion complexity using Index of Complexity Outcome Need (ICON) levels.Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, case control study was done. Cases controls were matched in a one-to-one relationship (179 subjects each). The Research Diagnostic Criteria used to presence TMD, ICON quantify complexity. binary logistic regression (p < 0.05) identify associations variables.Results: TMD associated with gender...
Dental sealants are an effective treatment for the prevention and management of caries.To determine retention placed in a rural setting Mexico as part international service-learning (ISL) programme to associations between dental sealant's caries diagnosis at time sealant placement.Children aged 6-15 were examined caries, received by students ISL programme, re-examined 4, 2, or 1 years after placement assess survival. Sealants on permanent sound surfaces enamel lesions [International Caries...
Background. Tooth loss is an easily identifiable outcome that summarizes a complex suite of factors in individual's history dental disease and its treatment by services over lifetime. Assessment overall tooth data essential for epidemiologically evaluating the adequacy care provided at systems level, as well placing context non-disease causes. For example, when derived from prosthetic planning, latter may unfortunately lead to some teeth being extracted (pulled) sake better comprehensive...
Introduction: Dental caries is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases worldwide. In Mexico it a public health problem. Objective: To identify variables associated with occurrence (non-reversible and reversible lesions) in sample Mexican schoolchildren. Material methods: We performed cross-sectional study 640 schoolchildren 11 12 years age. The dependent variable was D1+2MFT index, comprising irreversible carious lesions (dental caries) according to Pitts D1/D2 classification....

MÉTODOS: se realizó un estudio casos controles en el que incluyeron 110 con L/PH pareados por edad sexo 220 controles, seleccionados clínica del Hospital Niño DIF Hidalgo, México. A través cuestionario recogió una serie relacionadas socio-económica. Utilizando análisis componentes principales (correlación policórica) combinaron las sí...
The incisors are a key factor in dental occlusion and dentofacial aesthetics; therefore, the sagittal position inclination of is parameter diagnosis orthodontic treatment planning. In some cases, orthodontist will use more than one cephalometric analysis, thus different results can be obtained. aim this study was to establish diagnostic agreement among measurements used determine anteroposterior incisors. Lateral radiograms patients between 18 59 years old were measured (n=260). Digital made...

Dental transmigration is defined as the displacement of a tooth towards opposite side arch with at least crown having crossed midline. This rare dental eruption anomaly (prevalence 0.1% to 0.41%) mainly affects mandibular canines and its etiology unclear. It diagnosed by radiography, normally via panoramic image. The available treatment options respond location affected within bone. They include periodic monitoring radiographs, or, due complex nature, corrective measures involving an...
