Resumen

PEREZ QUINONES, José Alberto et al. Stomatologic emergencies behavior. Hospital Faustino Pérez. 2009. Rev. Med. Electron. [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.2, pp. 101-110. ISSN 1684-1824.

Background: stomatologic emergencies, in addition to causing signs and symptoms, produce complications affecting the patients’ general health status, so they require prioritized care, psychological support and no-traumatic actions.    Aim: to determine the stomatologic emergencies behavior. Material and methods: we carried out a cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study in the Stomatologic consultation of the Hospital “Faustino Perez” of Matanzas in the period March-December 2009. The universe was formed by 533 patients who attended the Stomatologic consultation having different kinds of stomatologic emergencies that were characterized according to clinical and social variables. Each patient was carefully questioned; a buccal examination was carried out to each of them and the Stomatologic individual historical record was filled out. Data were compiled manually. For their analysis we used absolute and relative frequency measures. The informed consent was taken into account. Results: 59,5 % of the patients with stomatologic emergencies were male, the most represented gender. The patients aged 35-59 years were 32,5 %, and workers predominated. Conclusions: the acute dental alveolar abscess was the most frequent clinical form among the pulp and periapical disorders in the 35-59 years age group and in the female gender.

Palabras clave : stomatologic emergencies; pulp and periapical diseases; acute dental alveolar abscess.
