Higiene bucal: su repercusión en pacientes con tratamientos ortodóncicos

Abstract

El éxito de los tratamientos ortodóncicos aplicados en la adolescencia radica en mantener una higiene bucal buena, la cual favorece un buen funcionamiento y evita la aparición de complicaciones en los pacientes, asociado con un correcto cepillado de los dientes y de los aparatos ortodóncicos, lo que es un elemento esencial e importante para un tratamiento exitoso, unido al mantenimiento saludable de las encías, prevención de las caries y peridontitis. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo en 50 pacientes de uno u otro sexo y raza, con edades comprendidas entre 12-16 años, procedentes de la Consulta de Ortodoncia de la Clínica Estomatológica H y 21, en el período de marzo-agosto del 2006, los cuales reciben tratamiento ortodóncico, con el objetivo de determinar la higiene bucal durante el tratamiento. Predominó el sexo masculino y el grupo de 12-14 años. Se observó que el 92 % de los pacientes estudiados se categorizó con índice de higiene bucal simplificado bueno y solo el 8 % con un índice de higiene bucal simplificado regular. Finalmente el índice de higiene bucal simplificado del colectivo fue bueno. Se recomienda incrementar y fomentar aún más el mantenimiento de la higiene bucal, para obtener un buen éxito durante el tratamiento ortodóncico y por lo tanto, que el paciente pueda disfrutar de una bonita sonrisa sin afectaciones psicológica.
