RESUMEN

Introducción. La gingivitis es considerada la entidad más común de las enfermedades periodontales. El presente estudio tuvo como propósito evaluar la prevalencia de gingivitis en un grupo de adolescentes y su posible asociación con la calidad de higiene oral, el ingreso familiar y el tiempo transcurrido desde la última consulta dental.
Métodos. Se estudió una población de 677 adolescentes. Para la encuesta se calibraron dos examinadores para el levantamiento del índice de higiene oral simplificado (IHO-S) y del índice gingival (IG) de Löe y Silness.
Resultados. En 83% de los estudiantes se observó algún tipo de inflamación gingival, siendo la gingivitis leve la de mayor prevalencia. La gravedad de la gingivitis estuvo asociada al ingreso familiar y a la calidad de la higiene oral, no así con la edad, el sexo y tiempo transcurrido desde la última consulta dental.
Conclusiones. La alta frecuencia de gingivitis, así como la deficiente calidad en la higiene oral, indican una gran necesidad de educación en salud en los adolescentes.
