ABSTRACT
The present study aims to determine the level of oral hygiene, periodontal status and treatment needs, indicating if there are differences between men and women, in 12-year-old students from Castro, Los Lagos region, during March and April of 2014. A cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 242 12-year-old students from municipal and subsidized private schools in Castro were selected through a stratified random sample representative of each school. Students were evaluated by a calibrated examiner to determine the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S) and the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN). Data were transferred to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and statistically analyzed to calculate the amount and percentage of the variables. Mann-Whitney U-test was used for comparison between genders. From the total, 59.5 percent of the students have regular hygiene. Also, 86.4 percent of the assessed adolescents have gingivitis and 13.6 percent of them have periodontitis. The periodontal treatment need indicates that 58 percent of the students require oral hygiene instructions and scaling. No statistically significant differences were found for gender. There is a higher prevalence of periodontal diseases associated with regular oral hygiene than the regional and national reference in 12-year-old adolescents in Castro. Then, it is necessary to teach and promote specific public health strategies based on epidemiological data...
RESUMEN
El presente estudio, pretende determinar el grado de higiene bucal, estado y necesidad de tratamiento periodontal en escolares de 12 anos de la ciudad de Castro, región de Los Lagos, durante el año 2014, indicando si existen diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. Corresponde a un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal. Se seleccionaron 242 escolares de 12 anos de la ciudad de Castro de establecimientos municipales y particulares subvencionados a través de una muestra aleatoria estratificada representativa de cada colegio. Los alumnos fueron evaluados durante marzo y abril de 2015, por un examinador calibrado (K= 0,86) para determinar el Indice de Higiene Oral Simplificado (IHO-S) y el estado y necesidad de tratamiento periodontal a través del Indice Comunitario de Necesidad de Tratamiento Periodontal(CPITN). Los datos fueron traspasados a una planilla de Microsoft Excel y analizados estadísticamente calculando cantidad y porcentaje de las variables. Para la comparación entre genero se utilizo el test estadístico U de Mann-Whitney. Se observo que un 59,5 por ciento de los alumnos presentan una higiene regular. Asimismo, un 86,4 por ciento de los escolares evaluados presentan gingivitis y un 13,6 por ciento periodontitis. La necesidad de tratamiento periodontal indica que un 58 por ciento requiere destartraje supragingival e instrucción en higiene bucal. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre genero. Existe una mayor prevalencia que la referencia a nivel regional y nacional de enfermedades periodontales en escolares de 12 anos asociadas a una higiene bucal regular. Es necesario inculcar y fomentar estrategias de salud publica especificas basadas en datos epidemiológicos...
