Resumen
Las caries dentales representan una de las enfermedades de salud bucal de mayor prevalencia, teniendo mayor incidencia en poblaciones infantiles, asociada a prácticas de higiene bucal desfavorables o alimentación no saludable. En la dentición primaria, resulta incidente la aparición de este tipo de patologías, comprometiendo la salud de los futuros dientes. La presente investigación surge de la motivación de ahondar en la identificación etiológica de la caries, así como en las medidas preventivas entorno a esta enfermedad. Bajo ese enfoque el objetivo general fue determinar cuáles son los factores de riesgo que producen la caries de dentición primaria. Para ello se diseñó un estudio de enfoque cualitativo del tipo documental, sustentado en artículos científicos, informes de investigaciones, libros y documentos en páginas web de organizaciones internacionales de 5 años de vigencia. A partir de la información se procedió a seguir la metodología deductiva comparativa a fin de dar respuestas a los objetivos y preguntas investigativas. Se concluyó que los factores de riesgo están relacionados con agentes externos que aumentan la posibilidad que los niños desarrollen episodios de caries durante los primeros cinco años de vida, entre estos factores se encuentran los primarios que van a depender de las características de la cavidad bucal del niño y los secundarios que van a depender de la higiene, regímenes y tipo de alimentación llevada. Por este motivo es necesaria la realización temprana de consultas odontológicas que permitan identificar oportunamente la aparición de la caries y así prevenir futuras complicaciones en la dentición permanente
Dental caries is one of the most prevalent oral health diseases, with a higher incidence in children, associated with unfavorable oral hygiene practices or unhealthy diet. In primary dentition, the occurrence of this type of pathology is incidental, compromising the health of future teeth. The present research arises from the motivation to deepen in the etiological identification of caries, as well as in the preventive measures around this disease. Under this approach, the general objective was to determine the risk factors that produce caries in the primary dentition. For this purpose, a qualitative approach study of the documentary type was designed, based on scientific articles, research reports, books, and documents in web pages of international organizations of 5 years of validity. Based on the information, the comparative deductive methodology was followed in order to provide answers to the research objectives and questions. It was concluded that the risk factors are related to external agents that increase the possibility of children developing episodes of caries during the first five years of life, among these factors are the primary ones that will depend on the characteristics of the oral cavity of the child and the secondary ones that will depend on the hygiene, diets, and type of food taken. For this reason, it is necessary to have early dental consultations to identify the appearance of caries in a timely manner and thus prevent future complications in the permanent dentition
