MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic search was conducted in virtual libraries such as PubMed, Redalyc, SciELO, Web of Science, Scopus, and Elsevier, using inclusion criteria, information in Spanish or English, from 2013 to 2023, related to exam glove contamination before, during, and after endodontic treatment. The studied variables were identifying microorganisms in endodontics and referencing bacterial identification techniques like PCR tests, cultures, and EM Maltditof. RESULTS: The chamber access stage has the highest contamination peak since it is when caries or radicular infection begins to be removed and mixed with produced aerosols, allowing their expansion and settling on the surface of gloves. More prevalent microorganisms such as Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans were identified. According to the studies analyzed for this work, PCR tests were determined as the most commonly used microbiological identification techniques in endodontics. CONCLUSIONS: Microbial contamination exists in gloves during endodontic treatment, considering that they come into contact with used endodontic instruments that carry microorganisms due to the flora of the canal and its removal. After the review, it is determined that more contamination in the chamber opening is generated by this contact or by the presence of carious lesions and their bacterial load.Ítem Acceso Abierto Control prenatal asociado a complicaciones obstétricas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2020) Guallpa Tandazo, Miriam Paola; Godoy Durán, Elvia Narcisa; 0302239058; .El control prenatal constituye una herramienta eficaz en la prevención de complicaciones obstétricas, pues permite al profesional de salud realizar un seguimiento adecuado con impacto en la disminución de la morbimortalidad materno neonatal.
