RESUMO
En la actualidad, la prevención de caries es lo más importante en la profesión odontológica. Entre los tratamientos de prevención se encuentran los sellantes de fosas y fisuras que, con el pasar del tiempo se ha demostrado su eficiencia; sin embargo, si no se realiza un correcto diagnóstico, este en lugar de ser un aliado, puede resultar contraproducente. En este estudio se hizo un análisis de los factores personales y características dentales del niño que, toman en cuenta los estudiantes, para la colocación de sellantes de fosas y fisuras en las piezas dentales de los pacientes. Se realizó un cuestionario donde cada una de las preguntas representaba un factor y una característica. Como conclusión se obtuvo que los criterios de decisión utilizados por los estudiantes tanto de clínicas II como de clínicas III, fueron acertados. Si se toma la cantidad de criterios aplicados, de los 12 en total, todos ellos informados en la literatura científica, los alumnos de clínicas II utilizan 10 de ellos y los de clínicas III 8 de ellos, por lo que se puede decir que el criterio de los primeros es más acertado que el de los segundos.
The prevention of caries is the important in the dental profession. Among the prevention treatments are the sealants of pit and fissure, whose efficiency has been proven over time, however, if a correct diagnosis is not performed, this rather than being an ally can be counterproductive. In this study an analysis was made of, the personal factors and dental characteristics of the child that are taken into account by the students, for the placement of sealants for pit and fissure in children. It was done through a questionnaire where each of the questions represented a factor and a characteristic. In conclusion, it was obtained that the decision criteria used by the students of both clinics II and clinics III were right.If we take the number of criteria applied,12 in total, all of them reported in the scientific literature, the students of clinics II use 10 of them and those of clinics III 8 of them, so it can be said that the criterion of the first is more accurate than that of the seconds.
RESUMO
Panoramic radiography, which can show dental characteristics in one film and evaluate postmortem information, may be highly valuable in human identification. The purpose of this study is to evaluate usefulness of human identification with dental characteristics shown in panoramic radiography through panoramic radiographies of 300 randomly selected patients who visited Yonsei University Dental Hospital. Dental characteristics of each film were classified into 8 types and diversity of dental characteristics was evaluated by turning the informations into codes. Diversity of panoramic radiography using both maxillary and mandibular dental characteristics was 99.58%. When mandibular dental characteristic (98.99%) was used alone, the diversity was found to be higher than that of maxillary dental characteristic (97.92%). Maxillary dental characteristics showed diversity in the order of right molars (92.32%), left molars (92.02%), and incisors (41.54%), while that of mandible was in the order of right molars (96.09%), left molars (95.70%), and incisors (18.97%). As a result, human identification using panoramic radiography proved to be useful not only when the whole teeth are present but also when only molars are present. Therefore, it is expected to be applied more economically and practically in identifying a large number of victims from mass disasters as well as wars.
