Abstract
El presente estudio tuvo como propósito conocer la asociación entre la presencia de pigmentaciones negras extrínsecas en superficies dentarias y la frecuencia de caries dental en niños con
dentición mixta del Servicio de Odontopediatría del Hospital Central Fuerza Aérea del Perú
(n=185), de los cuales el 6,49% (12 niños) presentaban dichas pigmentaciones. Para el análisis
de los datos se emplearon frecuencias, porcentajes, medidas de tendencia central, medidas de
dispersión, Chi-cuadrado y para conocer la asociación se empleó la prueba U de Mann Whitney.
Al analizar la asociación entre las pigmentaciones negras extrínsecas y la frecuencia de caries
dental, los resultados mostraron en los niños que presentaban dichas pigmentaciones un CEO+CPO
de 1,33±1,07; mientras que los niños que no presentaban dichas pigmentaciones negras extrínsecas un CEO+CPO de 3,39±2,39. Sobre la base del análisis estadístico se concluye que el
CEO+CPO en los niños con pigmentaciones negras extrínsecas fue menor que el CEO+CPO en
los niños que no tenían dichas pigmentaciones siendo esta diferencia estadísticamente significativa con un p=0,001. Cabe resaltar que se encontró asociación entre la presencia de estas
pigmentaciones y el consumo de suplementos dietéticos a base de fierro siendo estadísticamente
significativa con un p=0,027
The aim of the present study was to explore the association between the presence of extrinsic black stains on tooth surfaces and ithe frequency of dental caries in children from the Pediatric Clinic of the Peruvian Air Force Central Hospital (n=185). Among the children studied, 6,49% (12 children) presented those pigmentations. For the analysis of the data, frequencies, percentages, measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion and Chi-square were used and to explore the association Mann-Whitney U test was used, processed and analyzed using SPSS version 12 program. After the analysis of the relationship between the extrinsic black stains and the frequency of dental caries, the results showed that in children presenting such pigmentations the DMF+def index was of 1.33±1.07, while in children who did not present such black extrinsic pigmentations a DMF+def of 3.39±2.39 was found. Based on the statistical analysis it is concluded that the DMF+def in children with extrinsic black stains was lower than the DMF+def on children who had not such pigmentations and this difference was statistically significant with p=0.001. It is worth mentioning that an association found between the presence of these pigmentations and consumption of dietary supplements based on iron was statistically significant with p=0.027
