Incidencia de lesión de mancha blanca en las clínicas de ortodoncia de la Universidad Michoacana en Morelia, Michoacán, México

Abstract

White spot lesion has been related to the effect of orthodontic treatment, and also has been considered a global health problem. Its antiesthetic appearance and even more its cavitation, urge restorative procedures with the dentist. However, its incidence has not been reported in any orthodontic specialty in Mexico. The aim of this investigation was to report its incidence, at the Universidad Michoacana dental clinics, in Morelia, Michoacán, México. The lesion was diagnosed in 27 patients and multiple statistical analyzes were generated. The incidence increased significantly, in more than a half of the sample after 2 years of orthodontic treatment (p <0.05). There was no correlation of the lesion with age and gender. White spot incidence is high, and occurs within the orthodontic treatment period, which requires its control and prevention at the evaluated orthodontic clinics. It would be convenient to know its incidence, among other Mexican and worldwide universities for its eradication.

La lesión dental de mancha blanca por efecto de tratamientos ortodónticos, es un problema de salud mundial. Su apariencia antiestética, e incluso su cavitación, urgen de procedimientos restaurativos con el dentista. Su incidencia no ha sido reportada en ninguna especialidad de ortodoncia de México. El objetivo de esta investigación, fue conocerla en las clínicas dentales de la Universidad Michoacana, en Morelia, Michoacán, México. Se diagnosticó la lesión en 27 pacientes y se generaron análisis estadísticos múltiples. La incidencia se incrementó significativamente, en más de la mitad de la muestra luego de 2 años de tratamiento ortodóntico (p<0.05). No existió correlación de la lesión con la edad y el género. El índice de mancha blanca es alto en las clínicas de ortodoncia estudiadas. Ocurre dentro del periodo de tratamiento ortodóntico, lo que obliga a su control y prevención. Sería conveniente conocer el índice en otras universidades mexicanas y del extranjero, para su erradicación.

Este estudio fue apoyado financieramente por la Coordinación de Investigación Científica y la División de Estudios de Posgrado de la Facultad de Odontología, de la Universidad Michocana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, en Morelia, Michoacán, México.
