Resumen

BLANCO BERTA, Lourdes  y  ALFONSO CALDERON, Ernesto. Behavior of acute ultranecrotizing gingivitis at the stomatologic: Department of Conuco Viejo. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.3. ISSN 1684-1824.

We carried out a transversal prospective descriptive observational study with the objective of determining the behavior of acute ultranecrotizing gingivitis, in 37 15 to 50 years-old patients, who visited the Stomatologic Service of Conuco Viejo, municipality of García, in the period from January to December 2009. The studied patients were characterized according to sociodemographic variables and the present risk facts were identified, and also the level of knowledge on buccal dental health. A thorough clinic examination was made and the patients applied an inquiry of knowledge on buccal health. We found that 15-20 years-old adolescents and 21-25 years-old young adults were the most affected patients, with 32,44 % and 29,73 % respectively. The female genre, with 62,16 %, and the high school scholarship with 40,55 % showed the highest percentages. Among the local risk facts, the highest percents corresponded to chronic gingivitis, with 75,67 %, while stress represented the highest percent among general risk facts, with 59,45 %. As the result of the enquiry, the knowledge of 54,05 % of the studied patients were evaluated as unsatisfactory.
