          Abstract

          Objetivo: Realizar la caracterización de los pacientes que solicitan atención de especialidad en periodoncia. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo que incluyó a todos los pacientes inscritos para recibir atención odontológica de una población de la Quinta Región de Chile. Los datos se agruparon de acuerdo con el sexo femenino, masculino y rango de edad. Se registró ausencia o presencia de hábito de tabaco, diabetes mellitus (DM) tipo 2, ingreso a tratamiento periodontal, abandono de tratamiento e ingreso a terapia periodontal de mantenimiento (TPM). Para el análisis estadístico las diferencias en la frecuencia se determinó con χ2, alpha de 0.05, nivel de confianza de 95%, potencia de 80% y t Student evaluando diferencias en la edad, sexo femenino y sexo masculino. Resultados: Solicitaron atención 110 pacientes, 75 sexo femenino y 35 sexo masculino, ingresaron a la especialidad el 94%. La edad promedio fue de 41 (DE 15) años. Durante el seguimiento por un año, el 68% se mantuvo en tratamiento y el 19% ingresó a TPM. La tasa de DM tipo 2 fue de 4% en mujeres y 31% en hombres (p < 0.001). El rango de edad entre 14 a 29 años abandonó más el tratamiento periodontal. En relación con la DM tipo 2 las diferencias fueron estadísticamente significativas en la edad promedio, 39.5 (DE 15.3) años (p= 0.002) y edad promedio de abandono, 33.2 (DE 17.7) años (p > 0.001). Conclusiones: Las mujeres asisten más a tratamiento periodontal que los hombres y las personas jóvenes abandonan más el tratamiento. Al estudiar ambos sexos, masculino y femenino, los hombres alcanzaron un mayor porcentaje de DM tipo 2. Además el paciente diabético demostró ser más joven en edad promedio y en edad promedio de abandono de tratamiento periodontal.

          Objective: To undertake characterization of patients requesting periodontic specialty care. Material and methods: The present was a descriptive study which included all patients registered to receive dental care in a population of the Quinta Region in Chile. Data were grouped according to male and female gender, as well as age range. The following was recorded: presence or absence of tobacco use habit, type II diabetes mellitus (DM), admission to periodontal treatment, treatment desertion and admission to posttreatment periodontal therapy (PTPT). For statistical analysis of frequency differences χ2 test, alpha 0.05, confidence level 95% potency 80% and t student test were used, assessing differences according to age and gender. Results: 110 patients requested treatment: 75 female and 35 male. 94% were admitted in the specialty program. Average age was 41 years (SD 15). During the one-year follow-up, 68% of patients remained in treatment, and 19% was admitted in PTPT. Type II DM rate was 4% for females and 31% for males (p < 0.001). Patients in age range 14-29 years were more prone to abandon periodontal treatment. With respect to type II DM differences were statistically significant in average age, 39.5 (SD 15.3) years (p = 0.002) and average age for desertion 33.2 (SD 17.7) years (p > 0.001). Conclusions: Women were more inclined to attend periodontal treatment than men, young patients deserted treatment more frequently. Studies on both genders revealed that males exhibited greater rate of type II DM. Additionally, diabetic patients were younger in average age as well as in average age for desertion of periodontal treatment.

              Effect of gender on acute pain prediction and memory in periodontal surgery.

              Pain is a complex experience that is affected by factors such as gender, stress, anxiety and cognitions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the inter-relationship between gender and acute pain prediction and memory under periodontal surgery treatment. The study was conducted on 15 male and 22 female dental patients (mean age 34 yr, mean education level 14.7 yr), who were scheduled for periodontal surgery. Patients were evaluated during four consecutive appointments: at initial check-up, immediately pre-operatively, 1 wk post-operatively, and at 4 wk post-operative follow-up. Patients were requested to complete questionnaires concerning their anxiety at each appointment and to indicate their subjective evaluations concerning pain (on a visual analogue scale). Evaluations concerning expectation to experience pain during the planned surgery (pain prediction) were made at the first two appointments and evaluations of the experienced pain as remembered from the surgery (pain memory) were made at the last two appointments. Gender had a significant effect on pain prediction and pain memory. Men expected to experience more pain pre-operatively than women but remembered less pain post-operatively. It was concluded that cognitive pain perception in clinical situations differs between genders.
