- ÍtemSolo MetadatosDeterminación social de las maloclusiones dentales. Revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Patiño Ramón, Erika Estefanía; Villavicencio Caparó, Ebingen; 0150162048Objective: To analyze the current literature on the relationship between social determinants and the presence of dental malocclusions. Materials and methods: A bibliographic review was conducted using scientific databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Research Gate, SciELO, Elsevier, LILACS, and Semantic Scholar. The search utilized keywords such as "Malocclusions," "Social determinants of health," "Public health," and "Quality of life," along with Boolean operators AND/OR/NOT. Articles, books, and national health surveys from both classic and recent sources within the last 5 years were included to gather data on the prevalence of malocclusions and social determinants. Results: The literature reviewed, while not explicitly addressing the concept of social determinants, does discuss important variables such as social class, gender, and ethnicity. However, no clear trend was identified regarding the prevalence of malocclusions and the critical processes of social determinacy. Conclusions: There are studies supporting the hypothesis that social determinants play a role in the development of malocclusions. However, further research is needed, employing the methodology of critical epidemiology and examining different oral pathologies, to provide more precise investigations.
