Prevalence And Main Cause Of Premature Loss Of Temporary Tooth
Objectives: This investigation consists of determining the prevalence and main cause of tooth loss before their physiological replacement in the Korkhaus support zone in children between 6 and 9 years old who attend the CAS-UDD Clinic, La Florida
Methods: For this purpose, we examined children whose ages ranged are from 6 to 9 years of age, who attended the CAS-UDD Clinic in the city of Santiago during the months of August to October 2016 to receive comprehensive treatment.
For the calibration by the tutor, the examiners evaluated 10 children at random who were between 6 and 9 years old and it was evaluated together with the teacher whether or not they presented loss of constituent pieces of the ZSK.
All guardians and children signed an informed consent. Then, the clinical file was completed and the evaluation was carried out.
Results: 31.5% of the children in the sample have premature loss of primary teeth and the main cause of loss of primary teeth in children between 6 and 9 years of age is the presence of caries
Conclusions: For the analysis, the prevalences of the causes of premature tooth loss were estimated, and as expected, the most prevalent cause of tooth loss corresponds to dental caries
It is suggested to implement prevention measures, such as oral hygiene instruction for children from an early age. It is also important to make timely referrals to reduce the intake of a cariogenic diet
