(2013) Montesinos Rivera, Mayra Vanessa; Tapia Calle, Jaime Vicente
Different studies support the anatomical complexity of the root canal system by the presence of multiple foramina, apical deltas, accessory canals and more variations. The purpose of this in vitro study was to identify the internal anatomy of the root canal system of 84 permanent maxillary first molars, determining the number of canals per root and also the type of canals according to the classification of Vertucci and the prevalence of secondary mesio-buccal (MB2) by diafanization process. The palatal root as well the distal root showed only one canal in 100% of cases, whereas in the vestibular root one canal was present in 58.3%, two canals in 38.1% and three canals in 3.6% of the cases. Regarding the prevalence of MB2 it was present in 41.7%. As for the canal type, the most frequent in palatal and distal roots was type I, in 98.8%and 96.4%, respectively, while in the mesio-buccal root type I was the most prevalent in 31.0% of cases, followed by type V in 25.o% and type II in 16.7%
Nivel de conocimiento del manejo de trauma dental en odontólogos en Cuenca-Ecuador, basado en los protocolos de la Asociación Internacional de Trauma Dental, en el período 2023
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-09-20) Peñafiel Rodríguez, María Victoria; Tapia Calle, Jaime Vicente
Traumatic dental injuries represent a significant portion of aesthetic and morphological damage affecting both primary and permanent dentition, in addition to generating adverse effects on the development of occlusion, pain, decreased functionality and psychosocial problems for the patient. The International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) has established four protocols for the proper management of such traumas. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the level of knowledge of dentists in Cuenca, Ecuador, regarding the management of dental trauma, taking the IADT protocols as reference. An evaluation was carried out using a 12-question questionnaire addressed to 252 dentists registered in the Azuay College of Dentists, during the period from October to December 2023. It was found that there is an adequate level of knowledge, with a significant association between This knowledge and the professional's specialty (p-value = 0,038) also influence the work practice environment (p-value = 0,018), the number of cases treated in the last 12 months (p-value = 0,005) and the self-report of knowledge about dental trauma (p-value < 0,001). It is recommended to reinforce knowledge in specific areas such as lateral dislocation, bone fracture, storage methods for avulsed teeth, avulsion with closed apex and splint duration in cases of avulsion without bone fracture and subluxation.
