Background: This retrospective study was conducted to identify the epidemiological profile and treatment modalities linked to the maxillofacial trauma (MFT) managed in the Maxillofacial Surgery Departments of seven hospital centers in Antioquia, Colombia. Material and Methods: Clinical records with specific attention to sociodemographic characteristics, mechanisms of injury, type of MFT, location of injuries, and treatment modalities of MFT were collected from January to December 2017. Descriptive analyses using Pearson's chi-square tests were performed. Results: A total of 1356 records were retrieved.Males were significantly more affected, with a male-to-female ratio of 3.85:1.The most susceptible age group involved was young adults (18 to 40 years). A low percentage of alcohol (9.3%) and drugs consumption (2.5%) was recorded. Most common causes of MFT were road traffic accidents (RTA), falls, and interpersonal violence (IPV). Most injuries involved both soft and hard tissues followed by hard tissues and isolated open soft tissue injuries. Among fractures, the middle third was the most commonly affected site and the utmost method of treatment was open reduction and internal fixation. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the evidence available, this study has demonstrated that the gender, age stratum, and etiological factors, such as RTA, falls, and IPV, but no alcohol and/or psychoactive substances consumption, may have a significant influence on the prevalence, patterns, and treatment modalities of MFT in this sample population.

Introduction: The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) is considered an essential tool in the association of the aesthetic and clinical elements of occlusion. It plays a key role in the timely and essential orthodontic treatment. Objective: to determine the orthodontic treatment required in students of a Peruvian public institution using the DAI. Material and Methods: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out during the months of June to July 2016 in a Peruvian educational institution. The sample consisted of 120 students. The use of the DAI allowed to assess the orthodontic treatment required, through the 10 occlusal conditions and regression indicators that constitute a linear formula, with the following components: no treatment required, elective treatment, desirable treatment, and priority treatment, according to the severity of the malocclusion as normal, defined, severe, and very severe, respectively. Results: 53.3% (64) of the students required priority orthodontic treatment due to presenting DAI=43.03. Between the ages of 12-14 years, 56.7% (34), 8.3% (5), and 28.3% (17) required priority, desirable, and elective orthodontic treatment, respectively. The need for priority orthodontic treatment was more prevalent in females accounting for 57.6% (38). 95% (57) of the students from rural areas required orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: The need for orthodontic treatment in a Peruvian sample using the Dental Aesthetic Index was priority orthodontic treatment, mostly in females with ages ranging between 12-14 years.

Background: Factors like medical and periodontal conditions, implant location and smoking can affect marginal bone loss (MBL) of basal implants. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore the association of MBL with multiple variables including gender, age, smoking status, diabetes, implant placement protocol, location of implant, and type of prosthesis. Material and Methods: A total of 156 single-piece basal implants (Dr. Ihde Dental AG in Gommiswald, Switzerland) were placed in 44 patients. Dental panoramic tomographs were obtained postoperatively and following a one-year of service to determine MBL on mesial and distal sides. The association of MBL with the multiple variables was analysed using the multivariate and the random forest analysis. Results: The mean mesial and distal MBL was 0.64 millimetres. None of the implants presented MBL exceeding 1 millimetre. All implants were retained without complications during the first year of service. The MBL was remarkably associated with the smoking status, diabetes, location of implant and implant placement protocol. Diabetes mellitus is the most vital parameter in predicting MBL. Conclusion: The mean MBL of all implants did not exceed the threshold of 1 millimetre during the first year of service. When placing implants in patients who smoke and have diabetes, care should be taken.
背景:医学和牙周状况、种植体位置和吸烟等因素可影响基底种植体的边缘骨质流失(MBL)。目的:本研究的目的是探讨MBL与性别、年龄、吸烟状况、糖尿病、种植体放置方式、种植体位置和假体类型等多个变量的关系。材料和方法:44例患者共植入156个单片基面种植体(Dr. Ihde Dental AG in Gommiswald, Switzerland)。术后和一年后进行牙科全景断层扫描，以确定内侧和远端MBL。采用多变量分析和随机森林分析分析了MBL与多个变量的相关性。结果:近端和远端MBL平均为0.64 mm。所有植入物的MBL均未超过1毫米。在第一年的服务中，所有种植体均未出现并发症。MBL与吸烟状况、糖尿病、种植体位置和种植体放置方案显著相关。糖尿病是预测MBL最重要的参数。结论:在使用的第一年，所有种植体的平均MBL未超过1毫米的阈值。在吸烟和患有糖尿病的患者中放置植入物时，应小心。

Background: The most common maternal oral diseases that potentially could bring adverse pregnancy outcome are periodontal diseases. So periodontal diseases during pregnancy require special attention. Oral health education is often not addressed with importance during antenatal counseling. Objective: The purpose of the study was to assess the periodontal status, treatment needs and factors that influence periodontal diseases among pregnant women attending to antenatal clinic situated at Dhaka, Bangladesh. Material and Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted including 170 pregnant women selected by convenience sampling technique. Data were collected by pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Periodontal assessment was done by Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Need (CPITN) and oral hygiene status was assessed by the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S).The data analysis was done by SPSS software. Chi-square test was used for different variables. A probability value of <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of periodontal diseases among pregnant women was found 95.3% where it was 52.4% for gingivitis and 43% for periodontitis. Age, employment status, income, oral hygiene status, frequency of tooth brushing and dental visit, previous pregnancy and pregnancy trimester were found statistically associated with periodontal condition of pregnant women. 75.3% of the respondents had never gone for dental checkup and only 4.7% were found to receive oral hygiene instructions during pregnancy. Conclusion: Policy should be formulated to include oral health education and periodontal assessment in antenatal checklist to improve oral hygiene awareness and ensure healthy periodontium during pregnancy.

Introduction:The active learning process is certainly one of the most complex challenges in dental education. It is essential for the development of critical thinking and clinical skills. There is evidence of the need for teacher professionalization, but there is scarce literature reporting on the positive changes in the teaching profession based on such professionalization. The aim of the present study is to explore the experiences of the pedagogical performance of professionalized educators in dentistry. Material and Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using a design based on content analysis. The sample was selected for convenience and included dentists who have completed a master's degree in teaching in higher education, who were part of the teaching staff of a dental university program and with a career experience of at least 5 years. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, with three initial dimensions: Teaching Career, Motivation for Teacher Professionalization, and Impact on the teaching-learning process. The interviews were verbatim transcribed and content analysis was performed by the researchers using data triangulation. The research was approved by the research and ethics committee. Results: Six categories were established: Generational clash, Motivations to practice teaching, Motivations to professionalize teaching, Competences acquired after professionalization, Effects of professionalization in the classroom context, and Shortcomings of the professionalized educator. Conclusion: Professionalized dental educators show comprehensive improvements in their performance. They have developed practical competences for the specific needs of the courses they give.

Caries risk assessment protocols and tools are helpful for evidence-based clinical decision making. Objective: To compare the dental caries risk using two assessment tools in Peruvian children aged 7 to 11 years. Material and Methods: : 265 children from the Educational Institution (EI) Policía Nacional del Perú Juan Ingunza Valdivia were evaluated in 2019. The tools used to compare the risk of dental caries were the Reduced Cariogram and the Biological Caries Risk. The clinical examination was performed in a single time for both tools, evaluating oral hygiene and caries experience. Results: When using both tools, it was found that each one of the age groups have a different Caries Risk distribution than the other groups and this difference is statistically significant (p=0.001). When comparing both tools, a statistically significant difference was found between their diagnoses at the moderate and high-risk levels; however, diagnoses at the low level show agreement. Conclusion: There is a difference in the assessment of the level of risk between both tools, specifically at the moderate and high levels, with most of the children assessed at low risk levels.

Introduction: Dentistry should contribute to achieving healthy aging based on the identification of the well-being and oral health needs of the elderly. Objective: To evaluate the conditions of edentulism and frailty in a group of elderly people treated at the dental clinic of Universidad San Martín de Porres in Lambayeque, Peru, between the years 2016 and 2018. Material and Methods: An observational, descriptive, retrolective, and cross-sectional study was conducted. Two hundred and seven medical records that included an odontogram were randomly selected to identify cases of total or partial edentulism according to the Kennedy classification. The files were assessed with Fried’s test to evaluate the conditions of frailty. The association between variables was estimated by means of a significance analysis using the Chi square test. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between edentulism in both jaws and conditions of frailty (p<0.05). An association of edentulism with physical inactivity and weakness was also demonstrated. Additionally, a statistically significant difference between degrees of edentulism was observed regarding poor diet (p<0.05). Conclusion: The absence of teeth in the elderly acts as a risk factor leading to negative changes in diet, weight, and physical activity. These changes may be associated with frailty, as masticatory insufficiency results in a poor diet and subsequent weakness.
导言:牙科应在确定老年人的福祉和口腔健康需求的基础上，为实现健康老龄化做出贡献。目的:评估2016年至2018年在秘鲁兰巴耶克市圣大学Martín de Porres牙科诊所就诊的一组老年人的全牙症和虚弱状况。材料和方法:采用观察性、描述性、回顾性和横断面研究。根据肯尼迪分类法，研究人员随机选取了包括牙齿x线照片在内的227份医疗记录，以确定患者是否患有全牙补牙或部分全牙补牙。这些档案是用弗里德的测试来评估脆弱状况的。变量之间的相关性通过使用卡方检验的显著性分析来估计。结果:双颌全牙与虚弱状态的差异有统计学意义(p<0.05)。缺牙症与身体缺乏活动和虚弱也有关联。此外，在不良饮食的情况下，两组龋病程度差异有统计学意义(p<0.05)。结论:老年人缺牙是导致饮食、体重和体力活动发生负面变化的危险因素。这些变化可能与虚弱有关，因为咀嚼功能不全导致不良饮食和随后的虚弱。

Objective: To evaluate the association between self-reported bruxism and academic performance in students at a university in Lima, Peru. Material and Methods: A total of 203 students were evaluated in this study, between the ages of 19 and 35 years. Self-reported bruxism was measured using the Bruxism Assessment Questionnaire. Academic performance was evaluated using the Approval Index Scale. In addition, other variables were included such as employment status, socioeconomic level, stress, anxiety, among others. The association of variables were factored in using the chi-square test and the logistic regression presented the unadjusted and adjusted analisis. Results: The frequency of self-reported awake bruxism and sleep bruxism was 53.20% and 36.45%, respectively. Evidence revealed there was a statistically significant association between awake bruxism with stress and anxiety, and sleep bruxism with anxiety. Students with high academic performance (OR=2.36; IC del 95%:1.06-5.23) and low academic performance (OR=5.72; IC del 95%:1.28-25.57) were found to be more likely to have awake bruxism than those with medium academic performance. Conclusion: This study revealed a statistically significant association between self-reported awake bruxism and academic performance. However, in the future it is suggested to carry out a study with focus only on students with bruxism and with a larger sample of participants with low academic performance to confirm the association found between these variables.
目的:评估秘鲁利马一所大学学生自我报告的磨牙症与学习成绩之间的关系。材料与方法:本研究共评估203名学生，年龄在19 ~ 35岁之间。采用磨牙症评估问卷对自我报告的磨牙进行测量。学业成绩评估采用认可指数量表。此外，还包括其他变量，如就业状况、社会经济水平、压力、焦虑等。变量间的相关性采用卡方检验，logistic回归采用未调整和调整分析。结果:自述清醒磨牙和睡眠磨牙的频率分别为53.20%和36.45%。有证据显示，醒时磨牙症与压力和焦虑，以及睡眠时磨牙症与焦虑之间存在统计学上的显著关联。学业成绩高的学生(OR=2.36;IC del 95%:1.06-5.23)和学习成绩低(OR=5.72;(95%:1.28-25.57)的学生比学习成绩中等的学生更容易患醒时磨牙症。结论:本研究揭示了自我报告的醒时磨牙症与学习成绩之间具有统计学意义的关联。然而，在未来，建议进行一项研究，只关注有磨牙症的学生，并以更大的学习成绩较差的参与者样本来证实这些变量之间的关联。

Introduction: Traumatic tooth injuries often occur in childhood. They are not life-threatening, but they can cause a number of complications that can affect the quality of life. Proper first aid can significantly facilitate further dental treatment. The aim of this research was to evaluate preschool teachers’ knowledge and attitudes about dental trauma and their motivation for further education. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 54 preschool teachers. It was carried out in the form of a questionnaire consisting of 23 questions regarding traumatic tooth injuries, experiences and knowledge and teachers’ interest in additional education.Results: Most of the preschool teachers, 68.51%, did not witness any dental traumas during their work experience. From the teachers who witnessed dental trauma, only 11.76% gave first aid and none of them called the dentist and followed their instructions. In case of dental avulsion 72.22% would keep the avulsed tooth in a dry gauze or tissue. Even though 81.49% consider themselves uninformed about dental, all of them are interested in additional education. Conclusion: Despite the insufficient knowledge about dental trauma, its management, and first aid it is encouraging that all of the preschool teachers included in this research are motivated to educate themselves more on this subject.
