Prevalencia de patologías pulpares y periapicales en las piezas 6 de pacientes de 7 a 10 años que acuden a la consulta odontológica de la UDLA en el periodo marzo-abril 2017.

Pulp and periapical alterations have been one of the main causes of dental care. The first permanent molar is the dental piece most affected at early ages as a result of caries, dental trauma and iatrogenic complication that lead to the endodontic treatment of the piece. The dentin-pulp complex provides nutrition, sensitivity, defense and protection to the tooth, the presence of infectious, traumatic, chemical and physical irritants affect it in such a way that produce a reversible or irreversible inflammatory process; if it is not treated generates cellular degeneration until decomposition and total death of the pulp, called necrosis. The periradicular tissues fulfill functions of innervation, support, protection and proprioception of the tooth, generally the bacteria infection through the pulp produces inflammatory processes that destroy the tissues next to the tooth. The present work was carried out to provide information about the most frequent pulp and periapical pathologies, to know its etiology, signs and symptoms, allowing a correct diagnosis and treatment for the patient. Objective: Evaluating the prevalence of pulp and periapical pathologies in permanent molars of patients aged 7 to 10 years who attend the dental consultation of the UDLA, its etiology and the most gender-specific treatment. Method: The pulp and periapical health of the pieces 6 will be examined through thermal tests and complementary examinations, establishing a definitive diagnosis and adequate treatment. Results: Sixty patients were examined. 48 percent of the patients did not present pathologies. Fifty-two percent of the subjects had pulp disease, of which the most prevalent was reversible pulpitis with 45 percent. The 40 percent was periapical pathology, being the most prevalent acute apical periodontitis with 71 percent. The female gender was the most affected with pulpal disease with 55 percent and the male gender the most affected with periapical disease in 44 percent. The etiology with the highest incidence was dental caries with 84 percent, the most performed treatment were restorations in 45 percent. Conclusions: Pulp pathologies were more prevalent than periapical, reversible pulpitis and acute apical periodontitis were the most prevalent pathologies. The female gender was the most affected by pulpal pathologies whereas the male gender had more periapical pathologies.
