          Abstract

          RESUMEN: La cavidad de oral es susceptible de alteraciones de diversa índole, que presentan patrones epidemiológicos variables. La caries y la enfermedad periodontal se reconocen como las de mayor prevalencia, pero sobre otras anormalidades que afectan a las estructuras óseas y los dientes se tienen menos datos. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la prevalencia de hallazgos radiográficos sugestivos de patología en 10,000 imágenes panorámicas digitales de adultos, obtenidas en diferentes centros de radiología en Bogotá. Se recolectaron radiografías de pacientes mayores de 18 años, de bajo grado de distorsión, con estructuras completas, y adecuado contraste y densidad que permitieran la lectura de las variables a estudiar. La mayoría de las radiografías pertenecen a pacientes de género femenino, y su promedio de edad es de 39 años. El edentulismo parcial es el hallazgo de mayor prevalencia afectando a un 61 % del grupo, seguido de la presencia de tratamientos de endodoncia con un 45 % y en tercer lugar las inclusiones dentales 24,1 %. Otros hallazgos corroboran que las lesiones apicales son las lesiones quísticas de mayor prevalencia y un aumento en la rehabilitación con prótesis fija e implantes. Este estudio refleja los efectos de la caries y la enfermedad periodontal que afectan a la población estudiada y su principal consecuencia el edentulismo parcial que afecta a todos los grupos de edad examinados. La endodoncia, sugerente de patología pulpar, también es de alta prevalencia y en gran porcentaje asociada a lesiones apicales, pero en general el estudio sugiere la necesidad de programas de prevención para el adulto, para cumplir con las metas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud con miras a disminuir la perdida de dientes.

          ABSTRACT: The oral cavity is susceptible to alterations of diverse nature that present variable epidemiological patterns. Caries and periodontal disease are recognized as having the highest prevalence, but thereare less data on other abnormalities that affect bone structures and teeth. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of radiographic findings suggestive of pathology in 10,000 digital panoramic images of adults, obtained at different radiology centers in Bogotá. Radiographs were collected from patients over 18 years of age, with a low degree of distortion, with complete structures, and adequate contrast and density to allow the reading of the variables to be studied. Most of the radiographs belong to female patients, and their average age is 39 years. Partial edentulism is the most prevalent finding affecting 61 % of the group, followed by the presence of endodontic treatments with 45 % and thirdly the dental inclusions 24.1 %. Other findings corroborate that the apical lesions are the cystic lesions with a higher prevalence and an increase in rehabilitation with fixed prostheses and implants. This study reflects the effects of caries and periodontal disease that affect the population studied and its main consequence is the partial edentulism that affects all age groups examined. Endodontics, suggestive of pulpal pathology, is also of high prevalence and a large percentage associated with apical lesions, but in general the study suggests the need for adult prevention programs to meet the goals of the World Health Organization with a view to reducing tooth loss.

          Prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need in children and adolescents in Bogota, Colombia. An epidemiological study related to different stages of dental development.

          The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of malocclusion in a population of Bogotanian children and adolescents in terms of different degrees of severity in relation to sex and specific stages of dental development, in order to evaluate the need for orthodontic treatment in this part of Colombia. A sample of 4724 children (5-17 years of age) was randomly selected from a population that attended the Dental Health Service; none had been orthodontically treated. Based on their dental stages the subjects were grouped into deciduous, early mixed, late mixed and permanent dentition. The registrations were performed according to a method by Björk et al. (1964). The need for orthodontic treatment was evaluated according to an index used by the Swedish National Board of Health. The results showed that 88 per cent of the subjects had some type of anomaly, from mild to severe, half of them recorded as occlusal anomalies, one-third as space discrepancies, and one-fifth as dental anomalies. No clear sex differences were noted, except for maxillary overjet, spacing, tooth size (all more frequent in boys), and crowding (more frequent in girls). Occlusal anomalies and space discrepancies varied in the different dental developmental periods, as did tipped and rotated teeth. Little need for orthodontic treatment was found in 35 per cent and moderate need in 30 per cent. A great need was estimated in 20 per cent, comprising children with prenormal occlusion, maxillary overjet, or overbite (> 6 mm), posterior unilateral crossbite with midline deviation (> 2 mm), severe crowding or spacing, congenitally missing maxillary incisors, impacted maxillary canines or anterior open bite (> 3 mm in the permanent dentition). Urgent need for treatment was estimated to be 3 per cent, comprising subjects with extreme post- and pre-normal occlusion, impacted maxillary incisors or extensive aplasia.

            Periradicular status and quality of root canal fillings and coronal restorations in an urban Colombian population.

            This cross-sectional study determined the prevalence of apical periodontitis in 1086 root canal-treated teeth from an urban Colombian population and evaluated the association of several factors with the periradicular status.

              Assessment of panoramic radiography as a national oral examination tool: review of the literature

              Purpose The purpose of this review is to evaluate the possibility of panoramic radiography as a national oral examination tool. Materials and Methods This report was carried out by review of the literatures. Results Panoramic radiography has sufficient diagnostic accuracy in dental caries, periodontal diseases, and other lesions. Also, the effective dose of panoramic radiography is lower than traditional full-mouth periapical radiography. Conclusion Panoramic radiography will improve the efficacy of dental examination in national oral examination. However, more studies are required to evaluate the benefit, financial cost, and operation time and also to make selection criteria and quality management program.
