Materiales y metodos: Esta investigacion se llevo a cabo en pacientes Sindrome de Down con una muestra de 58 individuos entre las edades de 4 a 25 anos de ambos generos. Se realizo la medicion del pH salival a traves de tiras indicadoras de pH colocadas sublingualmente, diagnostico de caries dental, indice de placa dental y encuestas de habitos dieteticos a padres. Se observo que los pacientes con sindrome de Down, tuvieron un pH salival inicial neutro con un 50% pero sin gran diferencia al pH salival acido con un 43%, al contrario el pH salival que se tomo despues de 10 minutos de la ingesta de bebidas azucaradas, prevalecio el pH acido con un 83% teniendo relacion con la cantidad de caries encontradas en la muestra dentro de los rangos (bajo riesgo de caries 57% y moderado 22%) y placa dental presente en un 59% con nivel 2 de placa dental. Encontramos mas frecuente el riesgo de caries en el sexo masculino con 59% y el rango de edad mas afectado fue de 12 a 18 anos. Existe una estrecha relacion entre el pH salival acido y la caries presentes en boca ya que se encontro que todos los pacientes padecian de caries dental con una prevalencia entre los rangos bajo y moderado riego de caries, con un alto nivel de placa dental (nivel 2 de placa dental) debiendose principalmente a la poca higiene bucal por parte de ellos y sus familiares. \u0000Palabras clave: \u0000pH salival, caries dental, placa dental, bebidas azucaradas. \u0000  \u0000ABSTRACT \u0000The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between salivary pH and dental caries in patients with Down syndrome who came to the Fundacion Asistencial Armada Nacional (FASAN) - Guayaquil. Materials and methods: In this research there was a sample of 58 individuals between the ages of 4 and 25, both genders. Salivary pH was measured placing sublingually pH indicator strips. Surveys of dietary habits for parents and a complete diagnosis of caries and plaque index was also performed. It was observed that 50% of patients with down syndrome had a neutral initial salivary pH, without a great difference 43% where at an acid salivary ph. unlike the salivary pH that was taken after 10 minutes of the ingestion of sugar beverages, acidic pH prevailed with 83% related to the amount of caries found in the sample within the ranges (low risk of caries 57% and moderate 22%) and plaque present in 59% with level 2 of dental plaque. we found a higher risk in caries in males with a 59% and the age range that was most affected was 12 to 18 years. There is a close relationship between acid salivary pH and caries present in the mouth as it was found that all patients suffered from dental caries with a prevalence between low and moderate levels of caries risk, with a high level of dental plaque (level 2 of dental plaque) due mainly to poor oral hygiene. \u0000Keywor","PeriodicalId":43315,"journal":{"name":"Revista Conrado","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42498547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
