    Enfermedad periodontal en relación con la limpieza interdental en los estudiantes de pregrado de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Cuenca
    (2018) Pinos Ochoa, Xavier Andrés; Romero Espinoza, Katherine Andrea
    Background. The greater accumulation of bacterial interdental biofilm can condition a greater predisposition to develop periodontal disease. Objective. To analyze the relationship between interdental cleaning and periodontal disease in undergraduate students of the University of Cuenca School of Dentistry in the period 2018. Methodology. A descriptive, transversal analytical study was carried out. A total of 305 undergraduate students were analyzed in relation to their demographic and clinical-odontological characteristics, including the periodontal status. The association between periodontal disease and clinical-demographic variables was evaluated using the chi square test, also calculating the ORs. Results. There was a statistically significant association between gingivitis and the percentage of interdental bacterial biofilm (p = <0.001, OR: 5.17, 95% CI 3.15-8.49). As well as the use of interdental cleaning with gingivitis (p = <0.009, OR: 2.35, 95% CI 1.40-3.94); dental floss is the most frequently used device (69.51%) and had a statistically significant association with gingivitis (p = 0.001, OR: 2.27, 95% CI 1.38-3.72). 59.67% of the students presented periodontal disease (41.96% gingivitis and 17.70% periodontitis). Conclusion. There is a moderate prevalence of periodontal disease in the study population associated with interdental hygiene deficiency.

    Frecuencia del biotipo periodontal y la relación con la enfermedad periodontal en estudiantes de pregrado de la facultad de odontología de la Universidad de Cuenca 2018
    (2018) Niemes Palacios, Gabriela Katiuska; Villavicencio Caparó, Ebingen
    Background: The relationship between periodontal biotype and periodontal disease has been reported, with recessions in the thin periodontal biotype and the formation of periodontal pockets in the thick biotype. Objective: To analyze the frequency of the periodontal biotype and the relationship with periodontal disease in pregraduated students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca 2018. Methods: An analytical descriptive study was carried out in 304 patients, students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca, analyzed the demographic and clinical characteristics including the periodontal status. The association between the variables studied was evaluated using the chi square test, the ORs were calculated and the values lower than p = 0.05 were considered significant. Results: The percentage of periodontal disease found in the evaluated population is 59.5% (Gingivitis 41.78%, Periodontitis 17.8%). The most prevalent periodontal biotype was the normal or intermediate 69% biotype followed by the gross biotype 22% and thin 9%. No statistically significant association of biotype and periodontal disease could be found in relation to sex and age. Conclusions: A large distribution of a third periodontal biotype was found in the studied population. Although the relationship between biotype and periodontal disease could not be confirmed, it was possible to associate the thin biotype with an increased risk for the development of recessions
