The aim of this survey was the attitudes and behavior in dental students of the School of Dentistry at the University of Cuenca, and the use of Hiroshima dental behavior dental inventory (HU-DBI). This survey included students from first to fifth year and candidates for postgraduate programs and postgraduate students. A survey was conducted to freshmen to fifth year and included leveling students and graduate students, the total number of respondents was 460 students which included students from first to fifth, leveling and graduate students, a response rate found of 87.47%, where 256 (66.7%) were women, 128 (33.33%) were men, most urban origin 96.3%, the index number HU-DBI was for preclinical students with DS 8.89 and 1,542 students with clinical experience with DS 1.485 9.49. In this study we found no difference in rates between men and women, and the fact this rate increases with education of theoretical and increases further contact with patients, which is maintained, and that graduate students have lower rates of HU-DBI than students of 4th and 5th year, a finding that requires further study

The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of total-etch adhesive Adper Single Bond (3M ESPE) and self-etch adhesives Gc G- Bond (Gc Corp) by dye penetration. Thirty premolar and third molar teeth were selected for this in vitro study and class V cavities were prepared on the lingual and buccal surface. Adhesive Adper Single Bond (3M ESPE) in buccal cavity and Gc G- Bond (Gc Corp) in lingual cavity was applied and all of them were restored with a light cure resin composite, Valux Plus A3 (3M ESPE). The samples were exposed to dye penetration with methylene blue 2% for 24 hours and then microleakage was evaluated under optic microscope. To analyze microleakeage was used a qualitative method with a 0 to 3 scale. Data were analyzed by unpaired t-test. There was significant difference in dye penetration (P = 0.033) between the two adhesive systems; with lower values presented by self-etch adhesives. Within the limiting factors of this in vitro study, it was concluded that the use of this adhesive system might increase marginal seal against fifth generation systems

(2019-12-11) Astudillo Ortíz, Jaime Leonardo; Lafebre Carrasco, Milton Fabricio
BACKGROUND: Severe attrition is a type of dental wear caused by friction of tooth surfaces with each other. Although it is a frequent condition, it is not known what are the factors associated with its appearance. Objective: To relate factors such as: age, sex, origin, number of residual teeth, salivary pH and bruxism, with severe dental attrition. Design: cases and controls Patients: a total of 237 patients, 79 cases, with dental attrition grades 2, 3 and 4 according to the Smith and Knight index and 158 controls, with attrition grades 0 and 1. A clinical and photographic analysis was performed to determine the relationship between Dental attrition and factors such as age, sex, origin, number of residual teeth, salivary pH and bruxism. RESULTS: After a bivariate analysis, it was observed that patients older than 25 years (OR = 2.47 CI = 1.41 - 4.35 X2 = 10.21 p = 0.001), with less than 20 residual teeth in the mouth (OR = 4.95 CI = 1.47 - 16.62 X2 = 7.97 p = 0.004) and with bruxism (OR = 2.64 CI = 1.45 - 4.81 X2 = 10.49 p = 0.001), Are more likely to have severe dental attrition. After a binary logistic regression, the statistically significant relationship of these factors with severe dental attrition was confirmed. Conclusions: Severe dental attrition has a statistically significant relationship with age, number of residual teeth in the mouth and bruxism.

Pregnancy is a physiological state where multiple changes affecting the oral cavity occur, making it prone to suffer diseases such as caries and periodontal disease. To reduce the risk of suffering from these diseases, effective control of bacterial plaque is necessary through toothbrush. This study is a cross section descriptive type and the main objective was to describe the characteristics of toothbrush in pregnant women attending the Pablo Jaramillo Crespo Humanitarian Foundation Clinic in the city of Cuenca. The sample consisted of 153 pregnant women who met both, inclusion and exclusion criteria. The duration and type of movement performed by the patients was assessed using a regular brushing recording and additionally the oral hygiene index of O'Leary was performed. After these processes, the results obtained showed that the majority of patients performed horizontal movements during toothbrush and the length was of 65.78 seconds in average. Therefore, the oral hygiene index turned out to be deficient, indicating the lack of knowledge for a good oral hygiene within this group of priority attention

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-10-21) Carmona Loayza, Dalys Ariana; Lafebre Carrasco, Milton Fabricio
Objective: The objective of this narrative review is to identify if periodontal disease may be an associated factor in the development of a poor prognosis for COVID-19. Method: A bibliographic search was done In PubMed, Virtual Health Library, Google Scholar, and in the databases of Science Direct, Scopus, Lilacs, Bireme, Scielo and Web of Science, using the following keywords, “COVID-19,” “SARSCoV-2” and “Periodontal Diseases.” Results and discussion: Fifty-six records were retrieved from the database searches. After screening, 39 articles were selected for study: 13 reviews, 2 case-control studies, 1 systematic review, 8 letters to the editor, 2 cohort studies, 1 thesis, 7 hypotheses, 1 short communication, 3 commentaries, and 1 scoping review. During periodontal disease and COVID-19, an inflammatory response is generated. This immune response, present in the two diseases, generates an over-production of inflammatory cytokines that can harm the patient’s health. Conclusion: The mouth serves as the entryway for many microorganisms that can harm health in general, among them SARS-CoV-2. It is important to maintain good oral health to lower the inflammatory load present during periodontal disease, lessening the possibility of presenting complications during COVID-19.
