| Abstract | Asthma is a very common chronic disease worldwide that mainly affects the pediatric population, it is an important public health problem since it not only affects their general health but also affects oral health, causing multiple injuries in hard tissues and soft, due to the constant use of antiasthmatic drugs, which would cause salivary flow alterations both in quality and quantity, producing the modification and reduction of its protective function, increasing the oral microbiota especially the cariogenic one, which would contribute to the increase of carious processes. Objectives: To determine the influence of the effect of use and non-use of oral inhalers in the variation of salivary pH and dental caries in pediatric and healthy asthmatic patients from 5 to 11 years of age attended in the pediatric service of the HMC Lima, in the period from October to December 2017. Material and method: a non-experimental, prospective, comparative study of correlation level was developed, whose sample consisted of 94 patients, divided into two groups; 54 were asthmatic patients with treatment and 40 healthy. For the measurement of salivary pH, a saliva sample was collected, which was measured with a calibrated pH-meter, and for the evaluation of caries the ceo-d and CPO-D index were used, the medical data and of importance for the study were collected. through a data collection form by the interview method. The results obtained were the prevalence of dental caries was significantly higher in the Observational Group with 85%. The use of oral inhalers significantly influences the decrease in the salivary flow rate of asthmatic patients. The use of combination therapy (Salmeterol plus Fluticasone) significantly influenced the d caries index variables Ceod CPO-D and salivary pH compared to those who used only Salbutamol. According to the CPO-D, children who used an inhaler> 4 years had a CPO-D of 2.25, this being significantly higher than the previous values. A statistically significant association was found when comparing the study variables (p = 0.001). The results of the t-student, show a degree of significance of 0.00 and 0.02 <0.05 and for which the null hypothesis is rejected and the hypothesis is accepted, so it is concluded that the use of the inhaler influences the variation of salivary pH and dental caries in asthmatic patients. |
