Resumen
Introducción: Las universidades deben generar acciones de promoción y educación para la salud. La caries es una enfermedad donde interactúan diversos factores a considerar. Objetivo: Valorar el perfil epidemiológico de salud-enfermedad bucal en relación a caries en comunidad estudiantil universitaria de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Material y Métodos: Estudio exploratorio y retrospectivo. Se realizó sobre historias clínicas de estudiantes universitarias/os registradas/os en la Prosecretaría Asistencial de la Facultad de Odontología, durante los años 2017 y 2018 (n=397 registros). Se realizó un análisis de medidas epidemiológicas clásicas para la comunicación de los índices de caries, para el análisis de datos se emplearon modelos de regresión lineal generalizados para determinar la magnitud de los efectos de los factores considerados (sexo; edad; cobertura obra social y procedencia) en relación al CPOD y sus componentes. Se profundizó el análisis para los factores cuyos efectos resultaron significativos en las regresiones, se fijó p< 0,05. Resultados: la edad promedio fue de 21,4 ± 2,2 años y con una proporción aproximada de 2 mujeres por cada varón. La media de CPOD para la muestra evaluada fue7,45 ± 4,7 y dentro de un rango de 0 a 20. El factor C (cariados) fue el componente que más influyó sobre el CPOD, casi el 80% de las/os estudiantes presentó al menos un elemento dentario con caries. Conclusión: la edad es un factor que incide significativamente respecto al índice CPOD. Factores como sexo, procedencia y cobertura sanitaria, no demostraron efectos significativos sobre el índice CPOD.
Introduction: Universities should generate actions related to health promotion and health education. Caries is a disease where diverse factors and their interactions must be consideredObjective: To assess the epidemiological profile of oral health-disease in relation to caries in a community of university students in the city of Córdoba, Argentina.Material and Methods: Exploratory and retrospective study. It was carried out on the medical records of university students registered at the Health Department (Pro-Secretaria de Asistencia) of the Faculty of Dentistry, during the years 2017 and 2018 (n=397 records). An analysis of classic epidemiological measures of caries indices was carried out. For data analysis, generalized linear regression models were used to determine the magnitude of the effects of the factors considered (sex; age; health insurance coverage and origin) in relation to the DMFT and its components. The analysis was deepened for the factors whose effects were significant in the regressions, setting p<0.05Results: the average age was 21.4 ± 2.2 years and with an approximate ratio of 2 women for every man. The DMFT mean for the evaluated sample was 7.45 ± 4.7 and within a range of 0 to 20. Factor C (decayed) was the component that most influenced the DMFT, almost 80% of the patients. Students presented at least one dental element with caries. Conclusion: age is a factor that significantly affects the DMFT index. Factors such as sex, origin and health coverage did not show significant effects on the DMFT index.
