ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia de caries dental y estado nutricional, y su asociación en niños de 3 a 5 años de las aldeas infantiles SOS. Material y método: El estudio fue descriptivo y transversal en 116 niños, determinándose la presencia de caries dental, registrando estado nutricional, edad y sexo. Resultados: La prevalencia de caries dental en la población fue del 63,79%, siendo esta en los desnutridos del 20,27%, en los obesos del 14,86% y en los normopesos del 64,86%, no encontrándose asociación estadística entre la variable caries dental y la variable estado nutricional (p=0,750). Conclusiones: La prevalencia de caries encontrada en los normopesos parece condicionada por el nivel socioeconómico. Se sugiere realizar estudios para evaluar el impacto de otras variables.
