dc.description.abstract | Oral diseases are an important public health problem owing to their high prevalence and
strong impact on people, particularly in disadvantaged populations. There is a strong relationship
between the socioeconomic situation and the prevalence and severity of these diseases. Mexico
is among the countries with a higher frequency range in oral diseases, highlighting dental caries,
which affect more than 90% of the Mexican population. Materials and method: A cross-sectional,
descriptive, and observational study was carried out in 552 individuals who underwent a complete
cariogenic clinical examination in different populations of the state of Yucatan. All individuals
were evaluated after providing informed consent and with the consent of their legal guardians for
those under legal age. We used the caries measurement methods described by the World Health
Organization (WHO). Prevalence of caries, DMFT, and dft indexes were measured. Other aspects
were also studied, such as oral habits and the use of public or private dental services. Results: The
prevalence of caries in permanent dentition was 84%. Moreover, it was found to be statistically
related to the following variables: place of residence, socioeconomic level, gender, and level of
education (p < 0.05). For primary teeth, the prevalence was 64% and there was no statistical relation
with any of the variables studied (p > 0.05). Regarding the other aspects studied, more than 50% of
the sample used private dental services. Conclusions: There is a high need for dental treatment in
the population studied. It is necessary to develop prevention and treatment strategies considering
the particularities of each population, driving collaborative projects to promote better oral health
conditions in disadvantaged populations. | es |
