“…In reality, orofacial growth and development are complex processes that begin during gestation and span the life course (18,45,107). In this review, the focus is on access to oral health care, which may change the trajectories of oral health development for individuals and populations (60).…”

“…Along with the critical focus on providing pregnant women with oral health care, maternal oral health is related to infant oral health both biologically and behaviorally (47,64,107,122). The same microbes found in the oral cavity of the mother have also been found in the amniotic fluid and the placenta and may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes (30,51,136).…”

“…The period from birth through 3 years of age is characterized by dynamic and rapid developmental changes in the oral soft tissues and the emergence of teeth beginning around 6 months of age (107). Primary teeth begin forming around 7 weeks of intrauterine life and enamel formation is complete in the first year of life (24).…”

“…Primary teeth begin forming around 7 weeks of intrauterine life and enamel formation is complete in the first year of life (24). Teeth begin emerging into the oral cavity once threequarters of their roots are complete, and most primary teeth complete their root development by 3 years of age (24,107).…”

“…The 20 primary teeth are at risk for dental caries as soon as they emerge into the oral cavity and are exposed to bacteria and fermentable carbohydrates (107). Risk factors leading to the demineralization of teeth and carious lesion progression include frequent consumption of dietary sugars, inadequate fluoride, poor oral hygiene, and salivary dysfunction (114).…”

In the United States, people are more likely to have poor oral health if they are low-income, uninsured, and/or members of racial/ethnic minority, immigrant, or rural populations who have suboptimal access to quality oral health care. As a result, poor oral health serves as the national symbol of social inequality. There is increasing recognition among those in public health that oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease and general health conditions such as obesity and diabetes are closely linked by sharing common risk factors, including excess sugar consumption and tobacco use, as well as underlying infection and inflammatory pathways. Hence, efforts to integrate oral health and primary health care, incorporate interventions at multiple levels to improve access to and quality of services, and create health care teams that provide patient-centered care in both safety net clinics and community settings may narrow the gaps in access to oral health care across the life course.

Aim: To determine the type and frequency of sequelae in permanent teeth as a result of traumatic dental injuries in primary teeth in pediatric patients attended to at the Hospital Base Valdivia, between 2007 and 2012. Material and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted. The medical records of pediatric patients who were affected by traumatic dental injuries in primary teeth and went to the Sub-department of Dentistry of the Hospital Base Valdivia, Chile, were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The recorded data was: age of the child at the time of the accident, gender, affected primary tooth, type of traumatic dental injuries, and diagnosis of the permanent successor tooth. Descriptive statistics were performed. A chi-square test was used to establish differences between type of traumatic dental injuries and condition of the permanent tooth. Results: The most frequent diagnosis of traumatic dental injuries in primary dentition was subluxation. The primary tooth with the highest frequency of traumatic dental injuries was the right maxillary central incisor; 58.2% of the permanent successors presented some developmental disturbances. The most frequent sequelae observed in permanent teeth were chronological alterations of the eruption. Conclusion: There is a high frequency of sequelae in permanent dentition as a result of trauma in primary dentition. The most frequent sequel observed was chronological alteration of the eruption. It is fundamental to inform parents about the possible consequences that could arise and emphasize the importance of attending periodic follow up in order to prevent or minimize possible sequelae in permanent teeth.

ANTECEDENTES: El ENSAB IV reporta que los niños de uno, tres y cinco años de edad tienen en promedio 2,69 dientes con cambios visibles en el esmalte, y el índice ceo es de 1,62, ratificando que los problemas de salud oral en la primera infancia son muy frecuentes en Colombia. Por lo tanto, es importante empoderar a los cuidadores de la salud bucal de los niños. OBJETIVO: diseño, implementación y evaluación utilizando la metodología ABP de un curso híbrido de salud bucal dirigido a cuidadores de menores de cinco años. MÉTODO: Inicialmente se realizó una encuesta diagnóstica a cuidadores de instituciones educativas de primera infancia, para determinar las principales necesidades. El curso con metodología híbrida y sincrónica se diseñó en un aula virtual (Moodle) y se dividió en cuatro módulos: el primero: importancia del rol del cuidador y autoexamen oral; el segundo: principales enfermedades bucales de la infancia; el tercero: estrategias preventivas en instituciones educativas y cuarto: incluyó la evaluación mediante la resolución de un caso problema en salud bucal, finalmente se aplicó una encuesta de satisfacción del curso. RESULTADOS: En total participaron 56 cuidadoras, 19 de ellas participaron en el curso virtual sincrónico y 37 en el curso presencial. Se recibieron 5 casos problema resueltos satisfactoriamente y 34 de participantes evaluaron el curso refiriendo que las herramientas y las temáticas utilizadas fueron muy apropiadas, expresaron que fue un curso didáctico y práctico. Sugirieron mejorar el lenguaje. CONCLUSIÓN: La experiencia que se tuvo en el curso resalta la importancia de seguir implementando este tipo de ambientes de aprendizaje para capacitar e informar a cuidadores en el cuidado de la salud bucal de menores de cinco años.
