ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal desde enero hasta mayo de 2017 de 93 niños de 1-4 años matriculados en 5 guarderías infantiles no estatales del reparto Sueño de Santiago de Cuba, con el objetivo de identificar los factores riesgo que incidieron en las enfermedades bucales que presentaban. Para recoger la información se confeccionó una planilla elaborada a los efectos y realizó el interrogatorio a padres y niños, además del examen bucal a estos últimos. Entre los factores de riesgo prevalecieron la dieta cariogénica (96,7 %), seguida por el uso del biberón (59,1 %); asimismo, la maloclusión resultó ser la alteración más frecuente, principalmente el resalte aumentado y la mordida abierta. Aunque predominaron los pacientes sin afectación, estaban expuestos a dichos factores. Por tanto, se debe insistir en el diagnóstico precoz de las maloclusiones para minimizar o evitar su impacto negativo sobre la salud de los menores.


An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, of 93 children aged 1-4 years registered in 5 non-state daycare houses in Sueño neighborhood of Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to May, 2017, with the objective of identifying the risk factors which influenced in the oral illnesses that they presented. To collect the information a schedule was made for this aim and an inquiry to parents and children was carried out, besides the oral examination to the last ones. Among the risk factors the cariogenic diet (96.7 %), followed by the use of the baby bottle (59.1 %) prevailed; also, the malocclusion turned out to be the most frequent disorder, mainly the increased prominence and the open bite. Although the patients without disorders prevailed, they were exposed to these factors. Therefore, it should be insisted in the previous diagnosis of malocclusions to minimize or to avoid their negative impact on the health of the children.
