Tipo de edentulismo parcial bimaxilar y su asociación con el nivel socioeconómico-cultural / Type of bimaxillary partial edentulism and its association with socioeconomic cultural level

Introducción: El edentulismo parcial es una condición final a la presencia de caries dental relacionado con diversos factores sociales, demográficos y culturales. Actualmente, existen escasos estudios que valoren el estado de edentulismo parcial y su asociación con el nivel socioeconómico-cultural. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia del tipo de edentulismo parcial bimaxilar según la Clase de Kennedy y su posible asociación con el nivel socioeconómico-cultural en los pacientes de la clínica de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos del año 2016. Material y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 100 pacientes adultos edéntulos parciales seleccionados aleatoriamente que fueron evaluados mediante una encuesta y un examen clínico oral. La encuesta estuvo conformada por los datos sobre el nivel socioeconómico-cultural. El examen clínico se evaluó con un odontograma para determinar el tipo de edentulismo según la clasificación de Kennedy. Resultados: El tipo de edentulismo parcial más frecuente fue la Clase III de Kennedy en la arcada maxilar (50 por ciento) y en la mandibular (49 por ciento), los portadores pertenecían en gran medida al nivel socioeconómico-cultural medio (83 por ciento). No se evidenció una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el nivel socioeconómico-cultural y el tipo de edentulismo parcial según la Clase de Kennedy en ambas arcadas dentarias. Conclusiones: En la población estudiada existe una mayor frecuencia de edentulismo parcial bimaxilar Clase III de Kennedy y una preponderancia del nivel socioeconómico-cultural medio. Sin embargo, no existe asociación entre el tipo de edentulismo parcial según la Clase de Kennedy y el nivel socioeconómico-cultural(AU)

Introduction: Partial edentulism is a final condition to the presence of dental caries related to various social, demographic and cultural factors. Currently, there are few studies that assess the state of partial edentulism and its association with the socioeconomic cultural level. Objective: To determine the frequency of the type of bimaxillary partial edentulism according to Kennedy´s Class and its possible association with the socioeconomic cultural level in patients treated in the clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry of the National University of San Marcos in 2016. Material and methods: A descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 100 randomly selected partial edentulous adult patients who were evaluated by means of a survey and an oral clinical examination. The survey was made up of the data that relate socioeconomic cultural level. The clinical examination was evaluated with an odontogram to determine the type of edentulism according to Kennedy´s classification. Results: The most frequent type of partial edentulism was Kennedy's Class III in the maxillary arch (50 percent) and in the mandible (49 percent), which was mainly present in patients that belonged to the average socioeconomic cultural level (83 percent). There was no statistically significant association between the socioeconomic cultural level and the type of partial edentulism according to Kennedy´s Class in both dental arches. Conclusions: In the studied population, there is a greater frequency of partial bimaxilar edentulism according to Kennedy's Class III and a preponderance of the socioeconomic cultural level. However, there is no association between the type of partial edentulism according to Kennedy´s Class and the socioeconomic cultural level(AU)

Association between socio-demographic variables and partial edentulism in the Goan population: An epidemiological study in India.

Context: Although, incidence of complete edentulism has decreased, partial edentulism is still prevalent in the country. This study aims to establish a relationship between socio-demographic variables, etiological factors, and partial edentulism. It also evaluates the prevalence of different classes of partial edentulism according to Kennedy’s classification. Materials and Methods: An institution-based, cross-sectional study was conducted on a randomly selected population in the state of Goa, India. The study group included patients who attended the Outpatient Department (OPD) of Prosthodontics during September to October, 2009. Data were acquired based on a pre-formed pro-forma (inclusive of a structured questionnaire and clinical examination) and was statistically analysed using the chi-square test. Results: A total of 423 participants were enrolled for this study. Three hundred and twentytwo individuals were partially edentulous indicating a prevalence rate of 76.12%. 54.97% were females. The peak was recorded in the age group of 24-34 years, 51.24% were un-employed, 54.97% belonged to the medium income group, 58.07% resided in urban areas, 48.45% belonged to the basic educational group and 54.35% had a fair oral hygiene status. Kennedy’s class III group (50.30%) was the most frequent type of partial edentulism. An association between the aforementioned characteristics and partial edentulism was recorded with a statistically significant association between partial edentulism and two characteristics, namely monthly family income and education. Conclusion: Partial edentulism is dependent on a combination of socio-demographic factors and the present study reveals a high prevalence rate of partial edentulism in the studied population.

Prevalencia de edentulismo parcial y total en islas butachauques y Tac, Quemchi, 2013 / Prevalence of partial and total edentulism in butachauquesand tac islands, Quemchi, (Chile) 2013

Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de edentulismo y clasificación topográ fica de Kennedy en población mayor de 20 años de islas Butachauques y Tac. Material y Método: Estudio observacional descriptivo. Se incluyeron sujetos mayores de 20 años en los servicios de salud de islas Butachauques y Tac durante los meses de agosto y septiembre de 2013. Se solicitó a cada sujeto de investigación la firma de un consentimiento informado. La información recopilada fue ingresada a una planilla de registro de datos diseñada para la investigación. Las variables utilizadas fueron género, edad, cantidad de dientes presentes, portador de prótesis y tipo de edentulismo según clasificación topográfica de Kennedy, para luego realizarse un análisis de estadística descriptiva mediante SPSS 18 (IBM® SPSS® software). Resultados: Fueron evaluados 88 sujetos, de los cuales un 39.7 por ciento hombres y un 60.3 por ciento mujeres. Un 89.7 por ciento de los sujetos presentó ausencia de al menos uno de sus dientes y del total de éstos, el 29.4 por ciento utilizaba prótesis dentales. La clasificación de Kennedy maxilar más prevalente fue Clase 3 y en la arcada Mandibular fueron similares resultados para Clase 1 y 3. Conclusión: Estos resultados demuestran la alta prevalencia de sujetos edéntulos en los distintos servicios de salud de las islas y la necesidad de realizar programas de promoción y prevención para minimizar el daño en la salud de las personas de estas localidades.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of edentulism and Kennedy topographic classification in the population aged over 20 years of the Butachauques and Tac islands, Quemchi, Chile. Materials and Methods: Descriptive study. We included subjects aged over 20 years at health services of the Butachauques and Tac islands during the months of August and September 2013. Subjects were asked to sign an informed consent form. The information collected was entered into a data entry form.

Dental caries and tooth loss in adults in a Brazilian southeastern state

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze dental caries experience of adults living in the southeastern state of São Paulo, Brazil, according to some socio-demographic conditions of this population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sample consisted of 1,159 school teachers and workers (35 to 44 years old) from 29 cities of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. RESULTS: 92.3 percent were dentate and the DMFT index (number of decayed, missing and filled teeth) was 21.0 and the mean number of decayed teeth was 1.1, with no significant difference among adults from regions with and without fluoridation. Male subjects presented the highest mean values of "D" (decayed teeth) and "M" (missing teeth) components. The percentage of caries-free subjects was higher among white subjects, as well as the mean number of teeth present in the mouth. The mean values of the "F" component (filled teeth) [9.81] and present teeth [19.3] were higher for adults from fluoridated water regions. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the worse condition observed was the early tooth loss in all groups. In addition, people with worse socio-demographic conditions had worse oral health conditions. It is expected that oral health programs targeted to this population could be established with the goal of improving the oral health conditions of this population and hence the maintenance of the teeth for a longer period in function.
