Abstract
RAMIREZ VELASQUEZ, Marcela Patricia; CASHAT CRUZ, Miguel and FRAGOSO RIOS, Rodolfo. Evaluation of the necessities of dental attention for paediatric patients with HIV/AIDS with dental health indicators. Rev. Odont. Mex [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.2, pp.76-80. ISSN 1870-199X. https://doi.org/10.22201/fo.1870199xp.2007.11.2.15871.
The objective of the study was to determine dental attention necessities in pediatric patients with HIV/AIDS using CPO-D Index, Oral Hygienic Index, the prevalence of malocclusions, and the evaluation of the concordance between both indexes.
Methods
47 HIV/AIDS patients treated at Immunodeficiency Clinic at Hospital Infantil de México (CLINDI) were included. Evaluation of concordance between IHOS y CPO-D was made in a continuous scale and categorical groups, using intraclass correlation coefficient with significance of 0.05.
Results
93% of the patients had regular oral hygiene and 62% presented malocclusions. There is also a discrepancy between CPO-D Index and IHOS.
Conclusion
The results were not the expected ones for children who are being treated in a third level hospital.
Keywords : HIV/AIDS; CPO-D index; oral hygiene index; malocclusions.
