Resumen
El presente estudio se realiza con el propósito de
conocer la relación entre la presencia de caries y
pH salival en personas con Síndrome de Down.
La muestra estuvo comprendida por dos grupos,
un grupo incluyó pacientes con Síndrome de
Down que asisten al Instituto Privado de Educación
Especial Corrientes (IPEEC) y un grupo
control no portadores del síndrome, con edades
comprendidas de entre 13 y 26 años, (ambos
con similar distribución de edad y sexo). Los
resultados obtenidos en relación al Índice Gingival
arrojaron en los pacientes con síndrome
de Down un valor de 2 y un 56% en el índice
de O’Leary; en el grupo control el 64% obtuvo
valores mayores a 1 en el Índice Gingival y un
49% en el de placa, ambos resultados no compatibles
con salud. Respecto de la condición de
salud bucal, en los dos grupos se obtuvieron
valores del índice de caries (CPOD) superiores
a 4.5 considerándose elevado según la OMS.
El pH en los pacientes con síndrome de Down
varió entre 5 y 7, siendo el intervalo de referencia
normal 6,5. Los resultados del estudio
están orientados a la prevención y promoción
de la Salud con la Educación y concientización
de este grupo vulnerable.
The present study was performed in order to know the relationship between the presence of dental caries and salivary pH in people with Down syndrome. The sample was comprised of included two groups, one group included patients with Down syndrome attending at Private Institute of Special Education, Corrientes (IPEEC) and a control group, (both of them aged between 13 and 26 years, and similar distribution of age and sex). The results obtained in Gingival Index were: 2 in Down syndrome patients and 56% in the O’Leary Index while in the control group 64% had values greater than 1 for Gingival index and 49% for the Plaque index, both results were not compatible with health. Regarding the oral health condition in both groups, the caries index (CPOD) presented values above 4.5 that is considered high rate, according to WHO. The pH ranged from patients with Down syndrome was between 5 and 7, being the normal reference range 6.5. The results of the study are aimed to prevention and health promotion in the education and awareness of this vulnerable group.
