Prevalencia de factores de riesgo de lesiones de furca en pacientes de la clínica de la UCSG semestre B-2022.

Abstract

Introduction: Furcation defect is defined as the destruction of the dental supporting tissues of multi-radicular pieces, emphasizing the loss of insertion of the interradicular space and bone resorption, which results from periodontal disease associated with bacterial plaque. This defect will limit clinical and visual access to the affected area, causing a complex intervention by the specialist. Objective: To determine the prevalence of risk factors for furcation lesions in patients of the dental clinic of the Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil. Methods: A total of 66 furcations were obtained, which were subjected to a process of inclusion and exclusion criteria in order to place them in the mother table to analyze the risk factors of dental furcations. Results: 66 furcations were obtained, in relation to gender, 20 (30.30%) female patients and 46 (69.70%) male patients were obtained. In relation to Grade I furcation 52 (78.79%), 18 (19.70%) in female patients and 34 (51.52%) in male patients. Grade II 13 (19.70%), 2 (3.03) in female patients and 11 (16.67) in male patients. Grade III 1 (1.52%), in male patients. Conclusion: From the samples studied, we can determine that the most prevalent risk factors were bacterial plaque, periodontal stage, periodontal phenotype, root trunk length and root anatomy.
