- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoInfluencia del PH salival sobre el riesgo de caries dental en niños/as de 6 y 12 años en las parroquias rurales de Azogues 2019(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2019) Zaruma Quizhpilema, Luis Walter; Calderón Alemán, Doris Eliana; 0302409727; ., .OBJECTIVE: This research work was doing to determine the influence of salivary pH on the risk of dental caries in children of 6 and 12 of age in the rural parishes of Azogues. 2019. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This was a study descriptive, observational, cross-sectional. We work with a sample of 209 schoolchildren of both sexes, the clinical examination was performed using the index CPO-D (permanent dental pieces) and the ceo-d (primary dental pieces), simultaneously we evaluated the bacterial plaque using the index of Simplified oral hygiene (IHOS) this help us to determine the high, medium or low risk of tooth decay. Salivary pH (acid, neutral and alkaline) was measured using strips test, after the risk of caries was relating with salivary pH, we did a bivariate analysis using Chi square and Fisher's exact test, with a p value <0.05. RESULTS: The 52.15% of the population were male and the following results were obtained in caries risk: 14.61% for moderate and 12.77% for high; in the pH test, 36.21% were neutral, followed by 12.6% acid. The 47.84% of population were female, with a risk of caries represented by 13.03% for very high and 10.62% for low; The pH test we obtained: 35.85% for neutral and 10.3% for acid. After of the interpretation of the relationship between pH and caries risk in both sexes, we don’t find significance between the two variables, concluding that the salivary pH isn’t a risk factor determining for the tooth decay.
