Item Associated costs with dental studies in a public Mexican university(2014) Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Medina-Solís, June Janette; Sánchez-de la Cruz, Alicia; Ascencio-Villagrán, Arturo; de la Rosa-Santillana, Ruben; Mendoza-Rodríguez, Martha; Maupomé, GerardoObjective: to calculate associated costs with dental studies (ACDS) in a public university. Methods: we performed a cross-sectional study using a costing system on a random sample of 376 dental students enrolled at any semester in a public university. To calculate ACDS (Mexican pesos of 2009-1), we used a questionnaire divided into eight sections. Sociodemographic and socioeconomic variables, housing costs, food, transportation, instruments and equipment, as well as remunerations associated with patient care along 16 weeks of classes in each semester were included. We used linear regression. Results: the average of ACDS was of 18,357.54 ± 12,746.81 Mexican pesos. The largest percentage of ACDS (30.2 %) was for clinical instruments (5,537.66 ± 6,260.50). Students also spent funds in paying to patients for their time during care delivered (2,402.11 ± 4,796.50). Associated variables (p < 0.001) with the ACDS were having completed at least one clinical course or one theoretical-practical course, living within the state or out of state (compared to students who live in the city where dental studies take place), and being enrolled in the more advanced dental studies. Conclusions: the results indicate that a signifi cant percentage of the cost to students (13.1 %) is related with clinical care delivery.Item Clinical and Non-Clinical Variables Associated With Preventive and Curative Dental Service Utilisation: A Cross-Sectional Study Among Adolescents and Young Adults in Central Mexico(BMJ Publishing Group, 2019-09-18) Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; García-Cortés, José Obed; Robles-Minaya, José Luis; Casanova-Rosado, Juan Fernando; Mariel-Cárdenas, Jairo; Ruiz-Rodríguez, María del Socorro; Navarrete-Hernández, José de Jesús; Ávila-Burgos, Leticia; Maupomé, Gerardo; Social and Behavioral Sciences, School of Public HealthObjective The present study aimed to identify preventive and curative dental health service utilisation (DHSU) in the context of associated clinical and non-clinical factors among adolescents and young adults in Mexico. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Applicants to a public university in Mexico. Participants Participants were 638 adolescents and young adults aged 16–25 randomly selected from university applicants. Interventions Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire filled out by the students. For assessment of dental caries experience, we used the index of decayed, missing and filled teeth. Primary outcome The dependent variable was DHSU in the previous 12 months, coded as 0=non-use, 1=use of curative services and 2=use of preventive services. Results The mean age was 18.76±1.76 years, and 49.2% were women. The prevalence of DHSU was 40.9% (95% CI 37.1 to 44.8) for curative services and 22.9% (95% CI 19.7 to 26.3) for preventive services. The variables associated with curative services were age, sex, mother’s education, dental pain in the previous 12 months, caries experience, use of self-care devices and oral health knowledge. For preventive services, the variables associated were mother’s education, dental pain in the previous 12 months, caries experience, use of self-care devices and self-perception of oral health. Conclusions While differences emerged by type of service, a number of variables (sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics as well as dental factors) remained in the final model. Greater oral health needs and socioeconomic inequalities remained as predictors of both types of DHSU. Given the differences revealed by our study, oral health policies should refer those seeking dental care for oral diseases to preventive services, and promote the use of such services among the poorer and less educated population groups.Item Comparative Analysis of Edentulism in a Sample of Mexican Adults with and without Type 2 Diabetes(MDPI, 2022) Islas-Zarazúa, Rosalina; Mora-Acosta, Mariana; Navarrete-Hernández, José de Jesús; Reynoso-Vázquez, Josefina; Villalobos-Rodelo, Juan José; Rojas-Ortega, Laura; Sosa-Velazco, Taurino Amilcar; Márquez-Corona, María de Lourdes; Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Maupomé, GerardoThe objective of the present study was to compare the prevalence of edentulism in Mexican adults with and without a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) when they are seeking dental care. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1921 medical records of Mexican adults 40 years of age and older who sought dental care at clinics of a public university in Mexico. The dependent variable was edentulism, clinically determined through an oral examination. The main independent variable was the self-report of previous T2DM diagnosis made by a physician. Sociodemographic, socioeconomic and behavioral covariates were included in a multivariate binary logistic regression model. Overall edentulism prevalence was 8.4% (95% CI = 7.1–9.6). The prevalence of T2DM was 14.3% (n = 274). The prevalence of edentulism among individuals with T2DM was 13.1%, but only 7.6% among individuals without T2DM. In the multivariate binary logistic regression model, a previous T2DM diagnosis increased the probability of being edentulous 1.61 times (95% CI = 1.03–2.50). For each year a person’s age increased, the likelihood of being edentulous increased by 12% (95% CI = 10–14%). In summary, a higher prevalence of edentulism was present in Mexican adults with T2DM and in those of older age. This information may be used by dental care providers and health policymakers to improve approaches to preventive care, as well as to characterize and anticipate care needs more accurately for the adult and older adult populations.Item Contribution of prosthetic treatment considerations for dental extractions of permanent teeth(2016-07) Fernández-Barrera, Miguel Ángel; Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Casanova-Rosado, Juan Fernando; Mendoza-Rodríguez, Martha; Escoffié-Ramírez, Mauricio; Casanova-Rosado, Alejandro José; Navarrete-Hernández, José de Jesús; Maupome, Gerardo; Department of Cariology, Operative Dentistry and Dental Public Health, School of DentistryBackground. Tooth loss is an easily identifiable outcome that summarizes a complex suite of factors in an individual’s history of dental disease and its treatment by dental services over a lifetime. Assessment of overall tooth loss data is essential for epidemiologically evaluating the adequacy of dental care provided at a systems level, as well as for placing in context tooth loss for non-disease causes. For example, when derived from prosthetic treatment planning, the latter may unfortunately lead to some teeth being extracted (pulled) for the sake of better comprehensive clinical results. The objective of the present manuscript was to identify the contribution to overall tooth loss, by extraction of permanent teeth because of prosthetic treatment reasons. Material and Methods. A cross-sectional study included sex, age, total number of extractions performed by subject, sextant (anterior vs. posterior), group of teeth (incisors, canines, premolars and molars), upper or lower arch, and the main reason underlying extraction (extraction for any reason vs. prosthetic treatment), in patients 18 years of age and older seeking care at a dental school clinic in Mexico. A multivariate logistic regression model was generated. Results. A total of 749 teeth were extracted in 331 patients; 161 teeth (21.5% of total) were extracted for explicit prosthetic treatment indications. As age increased, the likelihood of having an extraction for prosthetic reasons increased 3% (OR = 1.03, p < 0.001). Women (OR = 1.57, p < 0.05) were more likely to be in this situation, and molars (OR = 2.70, p < 0.001) were most at risk. As the total number of extractions increased, the risk of having an extraction for prosthetic reasons decreased (OR = 0.94, p < 0.05). Conclusions. A significant amount (21.5%) of the extractions of permanent teeth were performed for prosthetic reasons in this dental school clinical environment; age, sex, type of tooth, and the total number of extractions moderated such pattern.Item Dental pain and associated factors in Mexican adolescents and young adults: a cross-sectional study(Elsevier, 2020-12) García-Cortés, José Obed; Mariel-Cárdenas, Jairo; Martinez-Rider, Ricardo; Islas-Zarazúa, Rosalina; de la Rosa-Santillana, Rubén; de Jesús Navarrete-Hernández, José; Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Maupomé, Gerardo; Global Health, School of Public HealthObjective: To identify the factors associated with the prevalence of dental pain in Mexican adolescents and young adults. Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which data from 638 Mexican subjects, 16–25 years of age, who were randomly selected from college applicants, were analysed. Questionnaires were administered to collect sociodemographic, economic and behavioural variables. Clinical examinations were carried out to determine the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index. The outcome variable was dichotomised as 0 (no dental pain in the last 12 months) or 1 (dental pain in the last 12 months). Statistical analyses included binary logistic regression. Results: Average age was 18.76 ± 1.76 years, and 49.2% of participants were women. Prevalence of dental pain was 34.0%. In the final model, variables significantly (P < 0.05) associated with the experience of dental pain were the use of preventive dental services (OR = 0.34), being a former smoker (OR = 2.37), self-report of very poor/poor oral health (OR = 1.94) or fair oral health (OR = 1.94), self-reported dental disease (OR = 2.06) or gingival disease (OR = 2.84). Conclusions: The prevalence of dental pain was associated with self-reported oral health status, preventive dental visits and smoking; these results have implications for dental practice. We found that recent experience of dental pain was common in young adults, being reported by one out of three subjects.Item Detección de Ni, Fe y Cr liberados en la saliva después de la colocación de coronas metálicas prefabricadas en niños(Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, 2023) Jiménez-Gayosso, Sandra Isabel; Morales-Luckie, Raúl Alberto; Robles-Bermeo, Norma Leticia; Hernández-Martínez, César Tadeo; Ramírez-Cardona, Marius; Pontigo-Loyola, América Patricia; Sosa-Velasco, Taurino Amílcar; García-Hernández, Verónica; Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Maupomé, GerardoObjetivo: Detectar la presencia y concentración de hierro (Fe), cromo (Cr) y níquel (Ni) en saliva de pacientes que requieren rehabilitación con coronas metálicas prefabricadas (CMP), antes y después de su colocación. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio cuasi-experimental (antes-después) en 32 pacientes que asistieron a atención odontológica en una clínica de odontopediatría de una universidad pública y que requirieron rehabilitación con CMP. Se tomaron muestras de 5 ml de saliva no estimulada por paciente de acuerdo con las pautas estandarizadas. La primera muestra se tomó antes de la rehabilitación de los CMP, y las otras dos se tomaron 1 semana y 1 mes después de la colocación de los PMC. Los niveles de metal se midieron mediante espectrometría de emisión óptica de plasma acoplado inductivamente (ICP-OES). Se realizaron pruebas paramétricas (ANOVA y correlación de Pearson), y se consideró estadísticamente significativa una p<0,05. Resultados: La edad media fue de 5.71±1.72 años y el 53.1% eran mujeres. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas al comparar la liberación de Ni antes, 1 semana y 1 mes después de colocar las coronas. De manera similar, observamos una correlación positiva entre el número de coronas y la liberación de Ni. Las cantidades de Fe y Cr fueron inferiores a 0,1 ppb, lo que no fue detectable por ICP-OES. Hubo una ligera correlación negativa entre el número de coronas y los valores basales de Ni (r = −0.342, p = 0.056). Conclusión: Se observaron cambios, antes y después de colocar las PMC, en los niveles de Ni. Los niveles de Fe y Cr fueron inferiores a 0,1 ppb, por lo que no fueron evaluables. Los niveles de Fe, Cr y Ni liberados estaban por debajo de los niveles tóxicos para la salud.Item Edentulism and other variables associated with self-reported health status in Mexican adults(International Scientific Information, Inc., 2014) Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Pontigo-Loyola, América Patricia; Pérez-Campos, Eduardo; Hernández-Cruz, Pedro; Avila-Burgos, Leticia; Mendoza-Rodríguez, Martha; Maupomé, GerardoBackground: To determine if edentulism, controlling for other known factors, is associated with subjective self-report health status (SRH) in Mexican adults. Material and methods: We examined the SRH of 13 966 individuals 35 years and older, using data from the National Survey of Performance Assessment, a cross-sectional study that is part of the technical collaboration between the Ministry of Health of Mexico and the World Health Organization, which used the survey instrument and sampling strategies developed by WHO for the World Health Survey. Sociodemographic, socioeconomic, medical, and behavioral variables were collected using questionnaires. Self-reported health was our dependent variable. Data on edentulism were available from 20 of the 32 Mexican states. A polynomial logistic regression model adjusted for complex sampling was generated. Results: In the SRH, 58.2% reported their health status as very good/good, 33.8% said they had a moderate health status, and 8.0% reported that their health was bad/very bad. The association between edentulism and SRH was modified by age and was significant only for bad/very bad SRH. Higher odds of reporting moderate health or poor/very poor health were found in women, people with lower socio-economic status and with physical disabilities, those who were not physically active, or those who were underweight or obese, those who had any chronic disease, and those who used alcohol. Conclusions: The association of edentulism with a self-report of a poor health status (poor/very poor) was higher in young people than in adults. The results suggest socioeconomic inequalities in SRH. Inequality was further confirmed among people who had a general health condition or a disability. Dentists and health care professionals need to recognize the effect of edentulism on quality of life among elders people.Item Enamel defects, cavities in primary dentition, fluoride sources and their relationship to cavitiesin permanent teeth defect Enamels, cavities in primary dentition and fluoride sources: relationship with caries in permanent teeth(Elsevier, 2007-05) Vallejos-Sánchez, Ana Alicia; Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Casanova-Rosado, Juan Fernando; Maupomé, Gerardo; Casanova-Rosado, Alejandro José; Minaya-Sánchez, Mirna; Oral Pathology, Medicine and Radiology, School of DentistryOBJECTIVE:To examine the relationship between the presence of enamel defects, dental caries in primary teeth, and exposure to various fluoride technologies and the presence of dental caries in permanent teeth in children with mixed dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A cross-sectional study was conducted in 713 children aged 6-9 years old in 4 elementary schools in Campeche, Mexico through the use of a questionnaire for the mothers and an oral examination in the children. The dependent variable was the prevalence of caries in permanent dentition. RESULTS:The mean number of decay, missing or filling teeth in primary dentition (dmft) and in permanent dentition (DMFT) was 2.48 (2.82) (deft > 0 = 58.9%) and 0.40 (0.98) (DMFT > 0 = 18.2%), respectively. The significant caries index (SiC), which is calculated in deciduous dentition, was 5.85 for 6 year-olds. Multivariate logistic regression adjusted for variables related to fluoride exposure revealed that older age (OR = 2.99), a deft of > 0 (OR = 5.46), and lower maternal educational level (OR = 1.57) were significantly associated with a higher number of dental caries in permanent teeth. An interaction between sex and enamel defects was also found. CONCLUSIONS:The number of dental caries in both primary and permanent dentitions was relatively smaller than that found in prior studies performed in Mexican populations. The results confirm that the presence of caries in primary dentition is strongly associated with caries in permanent dentition. No significant relationship was found between fluoride exposure and dental caries in permanent dentition.Item Experiencia, prevalencia y severidad de caries dental asociada con el estado nutricional en infantes mexicanos de 17 a 47 meses de edad(2013) Zúñiga-Manríquez, Ana Gabriela; Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Lara-Carrillo, Edith; de Lourdes Márquez-Corona, María; Robles-Bermeo, Norma Leticia; Scougall-Vilchis, Rogelio José; Maupomé, GerardoObjective. To determine the experience, prevalence and severity of dental caries and its relationship with nutritional status in nursery infants 17 to 47 months of age. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study in 152 infants 17 to 47 months of age attending one of five day care centers of the city of Pachuca, Hidalgo was performed. Clinical examinations were performed using the methods recommended by the World Health Organization for epidemiologic studies on dental caries. We calculated the caries index (dmft), the significant caries index (SiC) as well as the treatment needs index (TNI) and the care index (CI). Nutritional status was determined using the weight and height for age, in Federico Gomez’s scale. In the statistical analysis nonparametric tests were used. Results. Mean age was 2.52 ± 0.76 years; 51.3% were boys. With regard to nutritional status, 19.1% were classified as malnourished and 19.1% were overweight/obese. The dmft index was 1.53 ± 2.52. The SiC index was 4.14, the TNI 86.3% and the CI 13.7%. Caries prevalence was 48.0%. It was observed that 33.5% of children had 1 to 3 teeth with caries experience and 14.5% had 4 or more teeth affected. Statistically significant differences for tooth decay were identified (p < 0.05) by age, height and weight but not (p> 0.05) by sex and nutritional status. Conclusions. This study shows that nearly half of children examined had caries experience. High treatment needs for dental caries were observed. A correlation was found between dmft index and age, weight and height. No association was identified between experience, prevalence and severity of dental caries and nutritional status of infants. It appears necessary to improve oral health preventive measures in these infants.Item Factors Associated with Self-Report of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Adults Seeking Dental Care in a Developing Country(Wiley, 2023) López-Gómez, Sandra Aremy; González-López, Blanca Silvia; Scougall-Vilchis, Rogelio José; Márquez-Corona, María de Lourdes; Minaya-Sánchez, Mirna; Navarrete-Hernández, José de Jesús; de la Rosa-Santillana, Rubén; Acuña-González, Gladys Remigia; Pontigo-Loyola, América Patricia; Villalobos-Rodelo, Juan José; Medina-Solís, Carlo Eduardo; Maupomé, GerardoThe aims of the present study were to identify the prevalence and risk indicators of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in urban-based Mexican adults seeking care in a university-based triage/intake dental clinic, and to develop a predictive model. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 3354 medical/dental records of adults who sought care at the triage/intake dental clinics of a public university. The dependent variable was self-report of a previous diagnosis of T2DM made by a physician. Several socio-demographic and socioeconomic covariates were included, as well as others related to oral and general health. A multivariate binary logistic regression model was generated. We subsequently calculated well-known statistical measures employed to evaluate discrimination (classification) using an (adjusted) multivariate logistic regression model (goodness-of-fit test). The average age of patients was 42.5 ± 16.1 years old and the majority were female (64.1%). The prevalence of T2DM was 10.7% (95%CI = 9.7–11.8). In the final multivariate model, the variables associated (p < 0.05) with the presence of T2DM were older age (40 to 59 years old, OR = 2.00; 60 to 95 years old, OR = 2.78), having any type of health insurance (OR = 2.33), having high blood pressure (OR = 1.70), being obese (OR = 1.41), and having a functional dentition (OR = 0.68). Although the global fit of the model and the calibration tests were adequate, the sensitivity (0.0%) and positive predictive (0.0%) values were not. The specificity (100%) and negative predictive (89.3%) values, as well as the correctly classified (89.3%) value, were adequate. The area under the ROC curve, close to 0.70, was modest. In conclusion, a prevalence of T2DM of 10.7% in this sample of Mexican adults seeking dental care was similar to national figures. Clinical (blood pressure, BMI and functional dentition), demographic (age), and socioeconomic (health insurance) variables were found to be associated with T2DM. The dental setting could be appropriate for implementing preventive actions focused on identifying and helping to reduce the burden of T2DM in the population.
