RESUMEN
Se realizó una investigación descriptiva y transversal de 98 niños de primer grado del Seminternado 30 de Noviembre de Santiago de Cuba, atendidos en la propia escuela por odontólogos de la Clínica Estomatológica de Vista Alegre durante el 2007, para determinar su estado de salud bucal, así como los hábitos bucales deformantes presentes. Entre las principales alteraciones del complejo bucomaxilofacial sobresalieron: gingivitis, caries, deformidad dentofacial (vestibuloversión y mordida abierta anterior), así como la lengua protráctil como hábito deformante, asociada a la higiene bucal deficiente. Predominaron la dieta cariogénica y la placa dentobacteriana como factores de riesgo. Se recomendó elaborar y ejecutar un programa de actividades de educación para la salud, cuyas acciones estratégicas sean dirigidas a niños, padres, familiares y educadores(AU)
ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 98 first grade schoolchildren from 30 de Noviembre Day Boarding School of Santiago de Cuba, who were attended at their own school by odontologists from the Dental Clinics of Vista Alegre during 2007 to determine their oral health state and deforming habits. Among the main disorders of the oral and maxillofacial complex were gingivitis, decay, dentofacial deformity (vestibuloversion and anterior open bite), as well as protractile tongue as a deforming habit associated with poor oral hygiene. Cariogenic diet and dentobacterial plaque predominated as risk factors. It was recommended to develop and implement a program of educational activities for health, strategic actions of which are addressed to children, parents, relatives and educators(AU)
