ABSTRACT
Esta investigación tiene como propósito establecer si existe relación entre los principales indicadores socioeconómicos y los problemas bucales más comunes en los pacientes que asisten a las Unidades de Salud de La Canoa-Jiquilisco, Puerto Parada del Departamento de Usulután y La Carillo del Departamento de San Miguel donde se realizó el servicio social. Las técnicas empleadas para obtener los resultados de esta investigación fueron la observación y la entrevista, en la cual se recolectó la información en el mes de Diciembre de 2009 durante 13 días laborales. En base a la ejecución del presente trabajo, se encontraron los siguientes resultados: de los 103 pacientes que formaron parte de la muestra, 18 poseen empleo remunerado; de estos, 10 poseen un ingreso económico menor a $170.00 equivalente al 11% de la población total; esto significa que el 83% de los pacientes son desempleados, de estos el 43% son sub-empleados y el resto (40%) son amas de casa. Por otra parte el 81.5% han realizado cierto nivel de escolaridad y un 18.5% son analfabetas. En cuanto a problemas bucales se refiere, el 100% de la población en estudio sufre de Caries Dental, 98% Gingivitis, 64% Periodontitis, 61% Bruxismo, 47% Pulpitis Irreversible, 44% Periodontitis Apical Aguda, 14% Pericoronaritis y solo un 10% presentó Abscesos. Según los resultados obtenidos, de los que poseen un empleo remunerado, el 45% sufre de problemas bucales más comunes y un 58% de los desempleados sufren de las mismas; los que poseen un bajo ingreso económico las sufren en un 45%, los sub-empleados 47%, personas analfabetas 59% y los que poseen cierto grado de escolaridad en un 53%.
The purpose of this research is to establish whether there is a relationship between the main socioeconomic indicators and the most common oral problems in patients who attend the Health Units of La Canoa-Jiquilisco, Puerto Parada of the Department of Usulután and La Carillo of the Department of San Miguel where the social service was performed. The techniques used to obtain the results of this research were observation and interview, in which the information was collected in December 2009 for 13 working days. Based on the execution of this study, the following results were found: of the 103 patients that were part of the sample, 18 have paid employment; of these, 10 have an economic income of less than $ 170.00 equivalent to 11% of the total population; This means that 83% of the patients are unemployed, of these 43% are underemployed and the rest (40%) are housewives. On the other hand, 81.5% have completed a certain level of education and 18.5% are illiterate. Regarding oral problems, 100% of the study population suffers from Dental Caries, 98% Gingivitis, 64% Periodontitis, 61% Bruxism, 47% Irreversible Pulpitis, 44% Acute Apical Periodontitis, 14% Pericoronitis and only one 10% presented abscesses. According to the results obtained, of those who have a paid job, 45% suffer from the most common oral problems and 58% of the unemployed suffer from them; those with low income suffer them in 45%, the underemployed 47%, illiterate people 59% and those with a certain level of education 53%.

The medial cerebral cortex of lizards, an area homologous to the hippocampal fascia dentata, shows delayed postnatal neurogenesis, i.e., cells in the medial cortex ependyma proliferate and give rise to immature neurons, which migrate to the cell layer. There, recruited neurons differentiate and give rise to zinc containing axons directed to the rest of cortical areas, thus resulting in a continuous growth of the medial cortex and its zinc-enriched axonal projection. This happens along the lizard life span, even in adult lizards, thus allowing one of their most important characteristics: neuronal regeneration. Experiments in our laboratory have shown that chemical lesion of the medial cortex (affecting up to 95 percent of its neurons) results in a cascade of events: first, massive neuronal death and axonal-dendritic retraction and, secondly, triggered ependymal-neuroblast proliferation and subsequent neo-histogenesis and regeneration of an almost new medial cortex, indistinguishable from a normal undamaged one. This is the only case to our knowledge of the regeneration of an amniote central nervous centre by new neuron production and neo-histogenesis. Thus the lizard cerebral cortex is a good model to study neuronal regeneration and the complex factors that regulate its neurogenetic, migratory and neo-synaptogenetic events
