Composites bulk fill vs composites compuestos microhíbridos, una revisión de la literatura sobre la supervivencia de restauraciones en molares deciduos
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-10-03) Llivicura Alvarado, Sonia Eliana; Rodríguez Robles, Carla Jessenia; Terreros Peralta, Andrea Catalina
In pediatric dentistry, dental care for children is provided from the first years of life. In order to achieve rapid clinical care, restorative materials with a short application time and good clinical performance have been introduced. One of these materials is composite resins, being the most chosen by pediatric dentists because of their improved physical and mechanical properties. Mass-filled composite resins are one of the alternatives for restoring deciduous teeth in the posterior area. Objective: to determine the survival of bulk-fill composite material and conventional micro-hybrid composite material in deciduous molar restorations. Methods: This is a secondary longitudinal descriptive narrative review obtained from a compilation of data collected from databases such as PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, Web of Science, Wiley, and the Google Scholar meta-search engine; through which access to different repositories and indexed journals were obtained. Sixteen articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected. Results: The three clinical characteristics (color stability, marginal integrity of the restoration, and changes in its surface) were evaluated in both class I and II restorations in primary molars, showing significant differences between the two types of resins. Conclusion: Bulk-fill resins exhibit a better survival of restorations when compared to conventional micro-hybrid resins.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-19) Arias Astudillo, Mónica Catalina; Berliner Jiménez, Daniela Lisbeth; Terreros Peralta, Andrea Catalina
Dental caries is one of the most prevalent conditions in childhood, affecting both deciduous and permanent teeth. The aim of this narrative review is to analyze the scientific evidence available on the efficacy of dental sealants in the prevention of dental caries in the pediatric population in children between 5 and 12 years of age. Materials and methods: A narrative review of the scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025 in databases such as PubMed, Scielo and ScienceDirect was carried out. Clinical trials and reviews with mínimum follow-up of 12 months were included. Conclusions: Personalized and continuous prevention of children's oral health should be prioritized, considering that all the types of sealants analyzed have been shown to be effective in preventing caries in the pediatric population. The choice of the appropriate sealant will depend on the specific clinical conditions, the patient's level of cooperation and the available resources dental caries affecting both primary and permanent teeth. In pediatric dentistry, pit and fissure sealants act as a physical barrier that blocks the acc.
Manejo odontológico de labio y paladar hendido en primera infancia: revisión de la literatura
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-09-11) Celi Cárdenas, Doménica Sofía; Maldonado Toledo, Rosario Micaela; Terreros Peralta, Andrea Catalina
Unfortunately, few health professionals are familiar with the dental management of children with cleft lip and palate. That is to say, they are not sufficiently informed about the dental management and treatment of these children, there should be a protocol to refer them to the corresponding specialties and provide better care to these children. One of our objectives is to perform an exhaustive search of the literature on the dental management of early childhood patients with cleft lip and palate and to describe the dental specialties involved in the treatments to be followed, in order to make known the benefits of an integral dental management in patients with cleft lip and palate. For this reason, we have made a search of several articles in several databases such as PubMed, ELSEVIER, Scielo, Scopus among others, then the information of each article was tabulated and filtered in order to have the articles related to our study population and in the same way the articles that did not fulfill the inclusion criteria were not taken into account. Patients born with this malformation should be accompanied by several health specialists and various dental specialties in order to explain to the parents what could be the etiological factors and help them with referrals to each specialist in the area to improve the quality of life of the patient and family members.
Niveles óptimos de flúor en pastas dentales pediátricas: una revisión de la literatura
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-09-11) Parra Hidalgo, Wendy Paola; Rodas Barrera, Paola Vanesa; Terreros Peralta, Andrea Catalina
Aim: Through this literature review, we seek to determine the optimal level of fluoride present in pediatric toothpastes, identifying the recommended amount according to scientific literature, in addition to evaluate the effects of fluoride on children's dental health and its effectiveness in prevention of caries and also identify the risks of excessive fluoride exposure. Materials and methods: Searches were carried out for articles published in the last 5 years in electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, Google Academic. The search used a combination of the following keywords: "toothpaste" AND "pediatrics" AND "dosage" AND "fluoride". Results: 14,118 abstracts were registered: 1,407 from PubMed, 1,043 from Scopus, 355 from ScienceDirect, 10,200 from Google Academic, 913 from Scielo, 200 from UpToDate. After reviewing the abstracts, 14,095 records were removed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, leaving 31 full-text articles for examination. Finally, 19 full-text articles were included and evaluated in this review. Conclusion: The presence of adequate concentrations of fluoride in toothpastes has a positive influence in oral health, especially on the prevention of dental caries. Several reviewed studies reveal that the optimal amount of fluoride in pediatric toothpastes should be greater than 1000 ppm but not exceed 1500 ppm to obtain the maximum anti-caries effect and prevent adverse effects such as dental fluorosis.
