ABSTRACT
Objective. To identify the prevalence of dental caries and to
evaluate the risk cariogenic factors in adolescents of the State of
Mexico.
Material and methods. An observational, descriptive
and transversal study was conducted. The sample consisted of
109 teenagers, with ages ranging from 14 to 16 years old, 50
male and 59 female. Their teeth were evaluated using the
DMFS index (decayed, lost and filled on the surface); the
study was conducted by a WHO criteria standardized dentist
researcher, with an intraexaminator Kappa value of 0.96. A
survey was also conducted to establish the risk factors related
to dental caries.
Results. The DMFS results found were of
4.05 ± 3.47. In males the DMFS was of 3.50 ± 3.56 with the
following distribution: DS 3.22 ± 3.54, MS 0.10 ± 0.58 y FS
0.18 ± 0.72, while with females the DMFS was of 4.51 ± 3.35,
DS 3.86 ± 3.21, MS 0.15 ± 0.61 y FS 0.51 ± 1.19. Dental car
ies is related to the following variables: gender, frequency of
toothbrushing, attendance to the dentist and intake of sug
ared products.
Conclusions. It is recommended to continue
with the health promotion programs, as well as with the use
of fluoridated products, emphasizing tooth brushing and a de
crease in the intake of sugared products.
