Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2020, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional research was carried out; with the participation of 492 students between the 6 and 12 years of age, enrolled in primary schools in the town of Alangasí, Pichincha province and in the town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno in the city of San Cristóbal, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador; whose legal guardians gave the respective consent. The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) was used to assess the state of the first molars (16, 26, 36 and 46). The presence of the female gender predominated among the study population, as well as the category that implies caries lesions in dental enamel or in healthy teeth. Based on the means, greater affectation was observed in the first molars of the participants from Quito (1.51-2.37) compared to those ones from San Cristóbal (1.18-1.46); not observing important differences according to gender. However, during the analysis of the data between school types, it was found that the population of the fiscal school had more affectation (1.91-2.37). In addition, there were associations between categories of the variables involved.
